Geci Comes Out on Top

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Endrit Geci has beaten his opponent to go through to Round 2 of the Shootout tomorrow.

The final hand began with a limp from his opponent and check from Geci.

Flop: {a-}{5-}{6-}

There was a check, a min-bet of 800, and an all-in from Geci, which the other player called.

Endrit Geci: {7-}{4-}
Opponent: {5-}{6-}

It was two pair versus an up and down straight draw, with two cards to come.

The dealer put out {4-}{3-} on the turn and the river and Geci made his straight, taking him up to 57,600 to bring through to Day 2.

Zallar Doubles

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Brandon Zallar has just moved into the lead in his heads-up match.

All the chips went in preflop and it was a flip, with Zallar's {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts} up against {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}.

Flop: {3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

It was all but over on the flop, with Zallar making a nut flush. The {8-Hearts} turn locked it up and the {j-Hearts} was, if anything, a little unnecessary.

Darie Takes Down the Opposition

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Vlad Darie in an earlier event
Vlad Darie in an earlier event

Vlad Darie got it in with the best of it with {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} against {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}.

Both players connected with the {a-Spades}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades} flop but it moved Darie further into the lead. The {2-Diamonds} turn meant that there were only two kings for Darie to dodge. It was a {7-Diamonds} brick on the river and Darie takes 73,200 forward to Day 2.
