The field has continued to grow through the first two levels with an estimated 2,350 players now registered for Day 1c. The players are going on another 20-minute break and the PokerGO production will be moving Daniel Negreanu's table to the feature table for the live stream that will be aired on a delay. Here are some of the highlights from the previous level:
Cedric Seguin in the big blind and the player in the small blind, got all their chips in the middle on a flop of 5♦Q♦3♥.
Small Blind: 5♠3♠
Cedric Seguin: Q♠Q♥
The rest of the board ran out an inconsequential 8♠ A♣. Seguin took down the pot, knocking out his opponent in the process.
In a blind versus blind situation with already 6,000 chips in the pot on J♦8♦5♠, David Ritter in the small blind checked and let the big blind bet 5,000.
Ritter called and checked on the turn Q♠. The big blind checked back, and the A♥ landed on the river.
This time, Ritter took the lead and bet 10,000. After a few seconds, his opponent called, and Ritter showed 10♥9♥ for a straight. The pot allowed him to be back at the starting stack.
On a flop of 7♠J♣8♠, the pot was already huge with 23,000 in it when Eshaan Bhalla led out for 4,000 from under-the-gun.
Zhaoyue Luo made the call and the two went to the turn 7♦ where Bhalla fired again for 6,500.
Luo went into the tank for a good minute before he decided to lay it down and the large pot was awarded to Bhalla.
There was a raise to 600 in early position and Mor Leybovich three-bet to 1,800 in the hijack. James Pillon four-bet to 5,300 on the button and only Leybovich called.
The flop fell K♣J♥5♥ and Leybovich check-called a bet of 5,000 from Pillon. The turn was the 3♥ and Leybovich checked again. Pillon tossed in a bet of 11,000 and Leybovich went into the tank for a minute before dumping his cards to the muck.
All of the cards were out on the turn K♣7♣5♥Q♥ and Michael Bartov had raised all in from under the gun and the player in the middle position had called. The middle position player had tabled his cards and everyone was awaiting Bartov to show but he was announcing in his phone the details of the hand and that he had to fade a heart to win.
Michael Bartov: Q♦Q♠
Middle position player: K♥J♥
The river came out the 5♦ and Bartov won with a full house and did not have to fade the hearts after all.
Alex Lynskey raised it up in middle position and was called by the cutoff and the big blind. The flop came A♥10♠5♣ and Lynskey continued with a bet of 1,100 but both of his opponent called.
The turn was the 3♠ and Lynskey sized up a bet of 4,800 this time. The cutoff quickly folded and the big blind took some time but eventually followed suit.
