Garza Shoves on Lamb

Level 4 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With deep starting stacks and low blinds, the words "all in" have seldom been heard so far on Day 1, but they just were in a big pot between Ap Garza and Ben Lamb.

Lamb re-raised to 12,000 over a preflop raise from Garza and was called. Lamb continued for 10,000 on the {7-Spades}{q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop before Garza raised to 40,000.

Lamb called, then called another bet of 75,000 from Garza on the {k-Clubs} turn, using a time bank chip before tossing in his chips. The river came the {3-Diamonds} and Garza moved all in for around 120,000.

Lamb quickly folded and Garza was awarded the pot without a showdown.

The turn came the {2-Diamonds} and Kronwitter bet another 22,000. Again Epstein called and both players checked down the {j-Hearts} river.

Epstein showed {a-}{8-} for flopped two pair, but Kronwitter had him beat with {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for aces and jacks on the river.

Chance Kornuth
Chance Kornuth

Sam Soverel raised from the button to 3,500 and Chance Kornuth, coming off his deep run in the Main Event, called in the small blind as did big blind Adam Hendrix.

The flop came {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and all three players checked. Action checked to Soverel on the {2-Clubs} turn and he bet 3,000. Kornuth raised to 12,000, Hendrix folded, and Soverel called to see the {a-Hearts} river.

Both players checked and Kornuth showed {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{6-Spades} for trip eights to win the pot. Kornuth began singing "Baby, I've got the money," while dragging in the chips.

"Sam's so good you have to try to tilt him," he said. "That's my plan for today. Tilt the best players and bluff the worst."

Level 5 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Adam Hendrix
Adam Hendrix

Adam Hendrix opened to 3,500 on the button and Veselin Karakitukov defended in the small blind.

Hendrix checked on the flop of {j-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts} and Karakitukov checked back. Hendrix checked a second time on the {10-Spades} turn and Karakitukov bet 6,000. Hendrix called.

Hendrix checked again on the {6-Clubs} river and Karakitukov bet 16,000. Hendrix responded with a check-raise to 75,000. Karakitukov folded.

As the river action played out, Chance Kornuth reminisced with a player at the table about a mixed game they played in Florida where Kornuth apparently entered 36 pots in a row.

"That was a fun time," the player said.

"It wasn't that fun," Kornuth laughed.

River Helps Garza a Little More

Level 5 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Ap Garza and an opponent were heads-up on a board of {5-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{4-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts}. Garza led out for 25,000 and his opponent announced pot, making it 117,200.

Garza quickly called and his opponent showed {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{k-Spades} for the rivered flush. Garza, though, had {3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} for aces full on the river to take the massive pot.

"I thought those hands were reversed. I thought you had the nut flush and he had the full house," tablemate Ian O'Hara told Garza after the hand.
