Okrzesik Chips Back Up With Elimination

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

A player in early position moved all-in for 195,000 and Jason Okrzesik called from the big blind.

Early Position Player: AQ
Jason Okrzesik: JJ

Okrzesik had the slight lead, but the generous J7K flop would launch him to a more than 80% favorite, leaving his opponent drawing to only a ten for the win.

However, the 4 turn and 9 river would run out clean for Okrzesik, and send his opponent to the payout desk.

Thomas Chase Blanton

With the flop showing A9K and action checked to him, Chase Blanton bet 22,000 from the button. The player in the big blind came along.

The 7 turn brought two checks. The 4 river saw action checked to Blanton once more. He bet 25,000, which his opponent called. "Ace," said Blanton, while showing A8. His opponent mucked.

Final Break of the Night

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Players have been sent on a 20-minute break as tournament staff race off the yellow 1,000-denomination chips.

Three more 30-minute levels remain before the surviving players advance to Day 2.

Level: 20

Blinds: 10,000/20,000

Ante: 20,000

Hudson Triples Up

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action was joined as three players were preparing to turn their cards over preflop. Tom Hudson, the shortest stack and the hijack, was all in and at risk. Harry Mccloskey, the button, also had his tournament life on the line. Daniel Bolgrin, the small blind, had both of his opponents covered.

Tom Hudson: K10
Harry Mccloskey: AJ
Daniel Bolgrin: KJ

The 104A flop paired both Mccloskey and Hudson, keeping Mccloskey in the lead. The 10 turn then gave Hudson the lead with his trip tens. The 3 river changed nothing, and Hudson tripled up. Mccloskey won the side pot to remain alive.

Wong Stays Alive

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Curtis Connors called an all-in from the small blind against Francisco Wong from the big blind, with Wong the player at risk.

Francisco Wong: 99
Curtis Connors: K3

Wong was in good shape to stay alive and the A7Q flop left Connors drawing to only non-spade kings, and the 4 on the turn would go ahead and sealed it for Wong, with the irrelevant 3 on the river cementing the double.

Ho Continues His Climb

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Duy Ho
Duy Ho

Action was joined as Duy Ho checked the 62Q flop from the big blind. Pierre Calamusa, Ho's only opponent, put in a bet of 40,000 from the hijack. Ho considered his options for a minute before tossing in a minimum raise of 80,000.

Calamusa also thought about his next move for a bit before tossing in his cards, and the Hawaiian added more chips to his growing stack.
