Bleznick Exits Quickly, But Not Quietly

Josh Noy

Level 9

After registering during this level, Jared Bleznick was playing one big pot after another. Bleznick lost much of his stack after drawing five and betting dark, which did not end well.

Two hands later, Bleznick was all in with a single card on his third draw. Bleznick made a number four, but it wasn't enough to beat his opponent's number two bringing a quick end to his night.

Schulman Can Win a Pot

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 9

Nick Schulman opened from middle position and William O'Neil three-bet from the cutoff. Action folded back around to Schulman who moved all in. O'Neil called to put Schulman at risk.

Schulman drew one on the initial draw to O'Neil's two. Both players then patted down the rest of the way and Schulman turned over . O'Neil, who has himself amassed a large stack, shook his head in disbelief saying, "I just got used to Nick not winning any pots".

Bohlman Saved by the Deuce

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 9

After the final draw, Jared Bleznick was involved in a pot with Scott Bohlman, who was all in. Bleznick confidently turned over and declared that his opponent was drawing dead. Bohlman, however, revealed and was technically drawing live to a two.

"I wanna enjoy it; people are watching", Bohlman said as he slowly peeled the last card. "It's a heart," he continued, which was good for him, seeing as Bleznick's deuce was not a heart. The table erupted once Bohlman finally flipped over the to secure a double-up.

Elsewhere, Phill Hellmuth and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier were seen taking their seats.

Seiver On Fumes, Eliminated Shortly After

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 9

David "ODB" Baker opened from under the gun and Scott Seiver called from one seat over. The remaining players got out of the way to send the two heads-up to the initial draw.

On the first draw, both Baker and Seiver drew two cards. Baker then checked to Seiver, who decided to bet. Baker made the call.

The second draw saw Baker take two cards to Seiver's one. Baker checked again and Seiver fired off another bet. This time Baker opted to raise and Seiver flatted.

Baker stood pat on the final draw while Seiver took another card. Action then checked through and Baker showed down for a winner. Seiver, meanwhile, was left with just 15,000 or 2.5 big bets.

Shortly after the completion of the hand Seiver was seen exiting the tournament area.

Tran Almost Doubles Up

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 8

JC Tran opened in the cutoff and action folded to Benny Glaser in the big blind. As Glaser was eyeing Tran's short stack, Tran told Glaser he had 14,000 behind before saying, "C'mon baby, double me up". Glaser, perhaps not wanting to grant Tran his wish just yet, called.

On the first draw Glaser took one card to Tran's two. He then checked to Tran, who threw out a bet. Glaser made the call to send the two to the second draw.

Both players drew one on the second draw and action checked through to the final draw where again they each took just one card. At this point Glaser checked and Tran fired off a bet, leaving himself 1,500 behind. Glaser did not take too long before making the call and was shown , a hand he could not beat. Though Tran did not in fact receive a full double-up, he will undoubtedly be satisfied chipping up prior to the final break of the day. Glaser, meanwhile, has struggled to get much momentum going throughout Day 1.

Benny Glaser	39,500	17,500
JC Tran	28,000	-32,000
