Cautious Play

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

With just 60 players remaining and a little over an hour left to play today, the small stacks are looking to get healthy and the big stacks are looking to gobble them up. What that means is, play is proceeding cautiously as the next milestone for these players is to make day two.

Himatsingka Builds Back Up

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

The player on the button raised to 6,500 and Devvrat Himatsingka called from the big blind. Both players checked the {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop. Himatsingka led for 9,000 on the {8-Spades} turn and his opponent called. Himatsingka continued to apply pressure by raising to 21,000 on the {9-Clubs} river. His opponent seemed to have a tough decision and went into the tank for a solid two minutes, he ended up folding and Himatsingka took the pot.
