Prize Pool Details Announced

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The tournament organization has just announced the final prize pool details and what is going to happen tonight:

In total there were 7,361 entries with the players of Day 1a and Day 1b combined. 1,105 of those players will be in the money with a min-cash worth $2,249 and the winner taking home a cool $1,173,223. 548 of those players have already made it through to Day 2 by advancing through Day 1a. The tournament clock is currently showing the total combined amount of players.

When the remaining number of players comes close to the bubble, hand-for-hand play will take place until there are 1,105 players left in total (including the 548 of yesterday). The players will continue playing the current level, Level 11 which has a small blind of 500, big blind of 1,000, and a running ante of 100, until the money stage has been reached. Once the bubble has burst, all remaining players will be bagging and tagging their chips for Day 2 tomorrow, Monday, June 11, which starts at 11 a.m. local time.

This is what the players are playing for:

Dedusha Has Stacks

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Artan Dedusha had just called a raise of the player in middle position while Dedusha was sitting in the small blind. The flop came {6-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts} on which they both checked to the {k-Diamonds} on the turn. Dedusha check-called the 2,700 bet of his opponent. The river completed the board with the {A-Spades} and both players checked again.

The hijack tabled {K-Spades}{8-Hearts} for the turned pair of kings which was enough to take the pot. Even though Dedusha lost this hand, he still has one of the biggest stacks in the Brasilia room.

Hanson Flushes Another One Out

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The board read {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and there was already around 35,000 in the middle. Bart Hanson had shoved all in from the small blind and the player in the big blind was in the tank for a while already as the clock had been called on him. The floor came after to give him 30 seconds to take a decision and before he even started counting down, the player in the big blind called.

Hanson tabled {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the nut flush and his opponent got up from the table and showed Hanson the lower flush. He threw his cards over the line and the dealer almost mucked the hand until one of the other players asked to see the cards. The dealer turned over the {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} to confirm Hanson's opponent had the lower flush.
