Kroon Doubles

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon had the button, and opened to 550. A player in the small blind three-bet to 1,150, and Kroon quickly four-bet to 3,050. The player in the small blind five-bet shoved for effectively 10,000, and Kroon snap-called.

Chip Counts

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

As you can see, we have every player in the field with 9,000 chips in our counts. Rather than update individual stacks during Day 1, we're going to focus on gathering table winners and busting players who are eliminated.

Once a player wins a table, we will update their stack accordingly.

Weisner Lets One Go

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Jeff Forrest limped from under the gun, Melanie Weisner raised on the button to 500, the big blind called and Forrest called.

The flop came {J-Spades} {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}, the big blind checked, Forrest checked and Weisner bet 750. The big blind folded and Forrest called to see the {9-Spades} turn. Both players checked to the river {6-Clubs}. Forrest bet out 2,300 and Weisner folded after some short thought.

Charder Busts One, Huang Busts

Christian "Charder30" Harder had a player all in and at risk, holding {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. His opponent was dominated with {a-Spades}{3-Clubs}, and the board ran out {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Spades}, eliminating him from the tournament.

At an adjacent tabled, Derrick Huang was all in and at risk with two black eights. His opponent held {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}, and there was a king on the flop. Huang didn't improve on the turn or river, and headed to the rail.

Channing Eliminated, Opponent Breaks Etiquette

Neil Channing opened for 525, Marvin Rettenmaier called and the player in the big blind called. The flop came {7-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}, the big blind checked, Channing checked and Rettenmaier bet 725. Both players called and the turn came {Q-Clubs}. Action was checked to Rettenmaier again and he bet 1,550.

The big blind folded and Channing announced all in for a few thousand more. Rettenmaier called and tabled {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} for the nuts and Channing mucked his hand.

The river came a blank and an opponent not in the hand asked to see Channing's hand.

"What does it matter?" Channing asked. "I'm out of the tournament."

"I just want to see it," the player replied.

The dealer obliged and turned up Channing's hand , {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts}, to satisfy the unknown player.

Channing mumbled a few choice words to the guy and then left the tournament area.
