Altynai Fung raised it up to 4,300 preflop, getting the small blind, under-the-gun player, and Jeremy Ausmus, in early position, to come along for the ride.
On the flop, action checked back to Fung, who continued for 14,000. The small blind and under-the-gun players got out of the way, putting the action on Ausmus. He thought for a bit, before tossing in a raise to 50,000, enough to put Fung all in. She thought only briefly before pushing her chips into the middle, making the call.
Altynai Fung:
Jeremy Ausmus:
Fung had flopped top pair, but that was no good against Ausmus' middle set. She would need some help to stay alive, but none would come on the turn or river. Ausmus' set was still best, and he scooped the pot while Fung left the table.
Jeffrey Dobrin raised to 1,100 in the hijack before Ryan Smith three-bet to 3,300. The button and blinds got out of the way before Dobrin made the call.
The dealer spread a flop of and both players checked to see the on the turn.
Dobrin checked to Smith who made a bet of 2,500 and Dobrin called.
The fell on the river and once Dobrin checked, Smith quickly checked back. Dobrin tabled and Smith whipped his hand into the muck.
Ashley Frank opened to 1,000 from early position and was called by Ying Zhao in middle position as well as Marios Prianos on the button.
Frank checked on a flop of and Zhao led out for 1,600. Prianos made the call while Frank folded to send the two players to the turn.
Zhao continued her aggression on the turn, firing off 9,600. Prianos responded with a raise to 9,600 only to be met with all in shove for 31,300 from Zhao. The jam sent Prianos into the tank. He pondered over his decision for quite some time, asking the dealer to count out the shove before calculating how many chips he would have left if he called and was wrong. Ultimately he did commit calling chips to put Zhao at risk.
Ying Zhao:
Marios Prianos:
Both players had made two pair but Zhao's was better, putting her in a good position to get the full double. The river changed nothing, bringing Zhao back up above starting stack while putting a large dent in Prianos' stack.
The cutoff opened to 1,200 before Ramon Colillas made it 3,500 on the button. Michael Monroig then moved all in for around 10,000 in the small blind. The cutoff mucked and Colillas hesitantly called.
Michael Monroig:
Ramon Colillas:
Monroig immediately stood up and said "Oh boy," as the hands were exposed. The flop gave Colillas an open-ended straight draw which immediately came on the turn. The river completed the board and Monroig left the table in disgust as Colillas dragged in the last of his chips.
It's been quite the spin-up for the PokerStars Ambassador as he had just 19,000 chips at one stage on Day 1d.
Ebony Kenney was kind enough to relay a cooler hand at her table. The action picked up when Jeremy "JBoogs" Levin opened for 1,100 and it folded to Grant Wang on the button who three-bet to 4,200. Levin four-bet all in for 44,000 and it was back on Wang who was put in the tank. Wang eventually made the call and the cards were on their backs.
Jeremy Levin:
Grant Wang:
The flop came and it looked like both players would likely chop until the turn hit giving the ultimate sweat to Levin. When the peeled off on the river it was the flush of Wang that coolered the popular "Hustler Casino Live" player and sent JBoogs to the rail.
The table also wanted Wang to be referred to as "Greedy Grant" as they all joked together about his nickname.
