Chris Moneymaker
Chris Moneymaker

A player raised to 1,100 from the hijack, and was called by the small blind, as well as Chris Moneymaker in the big blind.

Action checked through the {j-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop, and the small blind checked the {2-Diamonds} as well. Moneymaker bet 1,200, and only the hijack called.

Both players checked the {4-Diamonds} river, and Moneymaker said, "Jack," before tabling {j-Spades}{7-Clubs}. His opponent mucked.

Holst Fires River for Max Value

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

A player in early position raised to 1,500 and Kristina Holst called from his direct left in middle position. The player on Holst's direct left, Bryan Zuriff, three-bet to 4,000 from the hijack and the original raiser folded before Holst put in chips to call.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and Holst check-called Zuriff's continuation-bet of 4,000. Both players checked the {7-Hearts} turn. The river came {j-Hearts} and Holst bet 14,500. The dealer fanned out the chips to make the bet clearly visible and upon doing so, Zuriff quickly announced a call.

Holst showed {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a full house, tens full of jacks, and took down the pot as Zuriff mucked his hand.

The Spin King Eliminated by Lolis

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Michael Jordan, John Elway, Shane Warne. All regarded as one of the best sportsmen of their generation depending on which country you're from.

The sport of cricket isn't popular in the United States, but nearly everywhere else in the world, cricket has a religion-like status. From the 1990's to late 2000's, Warne was at the top of the game wielding an arsenal of trick deliveries that baffled batsman on cricket pitches all around the world.

As Warne's cricketing career slowed down, his poker career began to pick up. Warne has been a mainstay at both his local casino in Melbourne, Australia, and the WSOP each year.

Always trekking out to play the Main Event, his appearance in the field today was a short lived one as he was just eliminated by David Lolis.

Lolis detailed that he opened with a raise holding {a-}{a-} and both a player in late position, and Warne called to see a {q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop.

Lolis continued with a bet of 3,100 and the player in the middle raised to 11,000. Warne called, and Lolis responded by moving all in having both players covered. The raiser folded, but Warne called all in holding {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

The turn and river bricked out with the {3-Spades} and {9-Diamonds}, and Warne was eliminated here on Day 1a, while Lolis soared up the leaderboard to contend with the chip leaders.

Adams' Boat Gets Sunk

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante
Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams

Tony Bracy bet 18,100 on a {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades} board into a similarly sized pot, and Brandon Adams gave it some thought before tossing in a 25k chip to make the call.

Bracy turned up {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for nines full, and Adams could only muster {a-Spades}{3-Spades} before paying off around half of his stack to his foe.

Grytsak Finds the Right Fold

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Igor Grytsak and Jim Carroll were in a hand on the river, with {4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} on the board. Grytsak was the first to act and he put 13,000 over the line. Carroll raised it up, putting 28,000 in, leaving just a few thousand behind. Grytsak looked uncomfortable whilst he gave it some thought. After a minute or so he said "I think you have it" and folded, at which point Carroll showed him {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for a flopped set. "Nice hand" said Grytsak who is now back to where he started.
