Baker Takes a Hit

The player under the gun moved all in for his last 17,875, and action folded all the way around to Amanda Baker in the big blind. As soon as she took a peak down at her cards, she made the call.

Baker: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Baker was in great shape to add onto what has already been a good day for her, but that all changed when the flop came down {9-Clubs}{q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, giving her opponent a full house. Baker was now the one who was looking to come from behind, but the {6-Clubs} on the turn left her drawing pretty slim. The {2-Diamonds} came on the river, and Baker took the hit, knocking her down to 50,700.

Hille Rebounding

Eliisabeth Hille on Day 1A
Eliisabeth Hille on Day 1A

After slipping a bit in the counts, Elisabeth Hille recently regained some of her losses.

Hille raised to 1,100 from the button, and Matthew Schreiber called from the big blind. The flop fell {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{j-Diamonds}, and Hille continued to 1,400. Schreiber called, and the dealer turned the {7-Spades}. Schreiber checked again, and Hille bet 2,500. Schreiber called, and the {k-Hearts} completed the board on the river. Hille bet again, this time for 5,000. Schreiber tanked for about a minute, then tossed one orange 5,000-denomination chip into the pot for a call. Hille turned over {j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for a flopped two pair, and Schreiber mucked.

The hand brought Hille's stack back up to 50,000, while Schreiber slipped to 39,000.

Lehmanski Tries the Triple-Barrel Bluff; Fails

Max Lehmanski (Day 1a)
Max Lehmanski (Day 1a)

Max Lehmanski led out for 4,400 on a flop of {q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}, and his opponent, Darrell Ticehurst, called.

The turn was the {2-Clubs}, Lehmanski fired out a second bullet worth 10,600, and Ticehurst again called.

The {7-Spades} completed the board, and Lehmanski emptied the chamber, firing a third and final bullet worth 36,700. Ticehurst tanked for longer than he had on the two prior streets combined before pulling out chips from his stack. He then counted how much he would have left if he called and was wrong - around 75,000 - and pushed the small stack forward.

Lehmanski rapped the table, signaling that Ticehurst was good, but Ticehurst wouldn't table his hand unless the German either showed his or mucked. Lehmanski flashed his hand for a second or two - it looked like {7-Hearts}{6-Spades} - and Ticehurst turned over {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a pair of aces.

He raked in the pot and now sits with 178,600 chips, while Lehmanski fell to 53,000.

Moneymaker Eliminated

Chris Moneymaker
Chris Moneymaker

It looks like Chris Moneymaker won’t be making a deep run in this year’s Main Event, after being eliminated earlier in the level.

A player on the table recalled to us that Moneymaker opened the pot from under the gun, before Ivan Mamuzic put out a raise. Moneymaker committed his last 14,000 in chips and was called.

Moneymaker had {a-}{j-}, but had run into Mamuzic’s {a-}{a-}. The board bricked out, sending the 2003 Main Event champion to the rail, on the 10th year anniversary since his famous victory.

Josephy and Cates Looking Strong

Daniel Cates
Daniel Cates

Unfortunately we haven't been able to catch either player in a hand yet so far today, but both Daniel Cates and Cliff Josephy have had a great first level of the day.

Cates came into today as one of the biggest stacks with 188,425, and he has already added almost 30,000 to it to put his stack currently at 215,000. Meanwhile, Josephy, also known as "JohnnyBax" online, started the day 96,975, and he has nearly doubled that so far today, as he now has a big stack of 180,000. These two with chips is a bad sign for the rest of the field, and we will be keeping our eyes on these two notables as the day goes on.

Assorted Amazon Counts

Castelluccio Extends Chip Lead

Sergio Castelluccio
Sergio Castelluccio

On a {Q-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop with 4,500 in the middle we found Scott Fischman leading out for 1,500. The player on his direct left called, as well as Sergio Castelluccio from the button before all three players checked the {2-Diamonds} on the turn.

With the river landing the {8-Hearts}, the action was checked to Castelluccio and he bet out 4,600 to prompt two quick folds.

As Castelluccio raked in the pot, his stack grew to roughly 245,000 in chips.

Wilinofsky Three Bets then Folds

Following a hi-jack raise to 1,300 and a call from the cutoff, Ben Wilinofsky three-bet to 3,850 from the small blind.

With the action on the big blind, he went into the tank before tossing in three chips amounting to a four-bet of 11,000.

The hi-jack and cutoff quickly folded while Wilinofsky took slightly longer before folding his hand while slipping to 75,000 in chips.

Balsiger Shoves, Collects

A middle position player opened for 1,125, and Elio Fox called from the cutoff seat. The action on Jake Balsiger on the button, last year's Main Event third-place finisher paused about 15 seconds, then reraised to 3,000.

It folded back to the original raiser who responded by making it 4,825 to go, chasing Fox. Balsiger sat motionless for a full minute this time, then looking down at the 16,000 or so he had behind announced he was all in and his opponent immediately tossed away his hand.

Balsiger had slipped down to about half the stack with which he'd started the day, but as the end of Level 6 nears he's climbed back up to about 24,000.
