Every Rose Has a Trevino

William Rose raised to 20,000 on the button only to have Alejandro Trevino move all in for 82,500 from the button. The blinds got out of the way and Rose made the call.

Showdown
Trevino: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Rose: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

Trevino was in great shape to double, which is exactly what he did when the board ran out {8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}.

Trevino Sends Goodfellow to the Rail

Shortly after doubling, Alejandro Trevino called Ronald Goodfellow's all-in shove of 30,500. It was a classic race as the former turned over {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} against the latter's {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}.

Unfortunately for Goodfellow, it wasn't a good flop as the {5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{K-Clubs} gave Trevino a set. The {8-Spades} turn left Goodfellow drawing dead, and after the {6-Clubs} was put out on the river for good measure, he took his leave from the tournament floor.

Nguyen Comes Racing Back From Dinner

Kennii Nguyen
Kennii Nguyen

We noticed Kennii Nguyen was had been mysteriously absent since the level began, but he just came back and had apparently forgot that the dinner break was only 60-minutes instead of 90, which only occur on Day 1's.

He had some choice words about his stack being blinded and ante'd off for 20 minutes, but the it only seemed to have cost him about 10,000.

In any case, Nguyen is back in the action.

Kochelaevskiy Crushed

Vladimir Kochelaevskiy opened for 9,500 only to be met with a three-bet to 20,000 by Evan McNiff from the button. Both blinds got out of the way and Kochelaevskiy responded by moving all in for around 100,000, which McNiff called.

Showdown
Kochelaevskiy: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
McNiff: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Kochelaevskiy held the dominant pair and was in great shape to double, even after the {8-Clubs}{A-Spades}{J-Hearts} flop. Just when a win seemed certain, the {9-Clubs} spiked on the river to crush his spirits. While Kochelaevskiy picked up an open-ended straight draw, the {2-Hearts} would blank on the river to put an end to his day.

Shorr Shoves on Venovski

Shannon Shorr
Shannon Shorr

We caught up just as Shannon Shorr was going to the flop against Alexander Venovski. Shorr had raised preflop from early position and was called by Venovski in the big blind.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Venovski checked, prompting a c-bet to 11,000 from Shorr. Venovski responded by check-raising to 34,000. Shorr thought it over and announced he was all in. Venovski quickly mucked and Shorr scooped the pot.

Farrell Scoops Some From Soulier

Fabrice Soulier raised to 9,500 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 38,500 by Niall Farrell. Soulier decided to call and take a flop, which came {6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}.

Soulier check-called a 27,000 bet from Soulier. Both players then proceeded to check down on the {2-Clubs} turn and {Q-Clubs} river.

Farrell turned up {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for a pair of kings and Soulier mucked without showing.

A Welcome Double for Ward

Kevin Allen min-raised to 8,000 from early position only to have Kyle Ward move all in from middle position for 45,500. Action folded back to Allen and he made an unenthusiastic call.

Showdown
Allen: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Ward: {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The {8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop wasn't very exciting, and Allen would need some help to eliminate his foe. The dealer burned and turned a paint card, but it was the inconsequential {J-Diamonds}. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {9-Hearts} on the river, giving Ward a welcome double.

King on the Turn Sends Nguyen to the Rail

Kennii Nguyen on Day 1.
Kennii Nguyen on Day 1.

We caught the action on the {9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades} when Kennii Nguyen had checked and Stanislav Barshak bet 13,000. Nguyen responded by check-raising to 33,500, Barshak moved all in, and Nguyen called off for 96,500 more.

"I have you beat right now," Nguyen said when the cards were tabled.

Showdown
Nguyen: {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Barshak: {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}

While Nguyen was correct in that he was ahead at that moment, he was drawing dead when the {K-Hearts} spiked on the turn to give Barshak a straight. The meaningless {6-Hearts} was run out on the river as a dejected Nguyen made his way to the payout desk in 70th place.
