The player on the button raised to 1,400 and Raymond Dandrea made it 3,300 in reply. Dandrea's opponent four-bet shipped all in for his tournament life of 32,700 and Dandrea instantly called.

Dandrea: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The two were racing for Dandra's opponent's tournament life heading to the five community cards. The board rolled out {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Dandrea's jacks held up for the win. Dandrea bagged up 88,400 and will return for Day 2.

Jaka Loses One, But Still Leads

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Faraz Jaka is three handed at his table and has the chip lead, but recently dropped a pot.

After the button raised to 1,200, Jaka called from the big blind and then led out for 1,900 on the {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop. His opponent called. The turn was checked by both players when the {9-Clubs} fell, and they also checked the {3-Diamonds} river card.

Jaka tabled the {Q-Hearts}{9-Spades} for a pair of nines, but it was no good against his opponent's {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}.

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Greg Merson limped in from the button, and Dylan Linde checked his option from the big blind before the dealer spread the {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop. Linde led for 800, and Merson called.

On the turn, the {6-Diamonds} was added to the board. Linde checked, and Merson checked behind. That brought about the {7-Clubs} on the river, and Linde led for 2,600. Merson folded, and Linde won the pot.
