Sean Winter

David Stamm opened from the hijack before Sean Winter threw in his stack of roughly 13 big blinds from the button. The action folded back to Stamm, who made the call.

Sean Winter: 6♥6♦ All in
David Stamm: 10♠10♥

The J♠K♠7♠ flop left Winter with one out, and it did not arrive on the 5♥ turn or 9♣ river, sending him home late on Day 1.

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There was a three-way all-in in progress with Johan Guilbert having the chance to eliminate two players, but he would have to come from behind.

Punnat Punsri: A♦9♦ All in
Chance Kornuth: A♣Q♣
Johan Guilbert: QxJx

The 10♣5♠4♠A♥5♥ board favored Kornuth, who doubled through Guilbert and eliminated Punsri in the process.

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Maria Ho raised to 12,000 in middle position and was called by Aleksejs Ponakovs on the button. Justin Saliba defended his big blind and the trio went to a flop of 7♥A♦3♦.

Ho continued for 16,000 chips, which Ponakovs called before Saliba check-folded. Ho then slowed down with a check on the 2♦ turn, leading Ponakovs to fire a bet of 23,000 chips.

Ho swiftly let go of her hand as her stack diminished to what she started Day 1 with.

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a K♦5♣4♠10♠ board, Chino Rheem bet 40,000 and Nick Petrangelo called on the button.

The turn was the 6♦ and Rheem bet 120,000. Petrangelo used a time bank and raised to 139,000 leaving himself 1,000 behind.

Rheem promptly went all in and Petrangelo flicked in his final chip.

Nick Petrangelo: 5♦5♥ All in
Chino Rheem: 8♠7♠

Petrangelo had flopped a set, but Rheem had rivered a straight to send Petrangelo to the rail.

"I thought he was the one with eight-seven of spades," remarked Jason Koon.

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Arriving on a turn of 4♠K♠2♦A♠, Andrew Lichtenberger checked from the small blind to Martin Kabrhel in the big blind. Kabrhel then made a bet of 19,000 in the pot of 100,000 and Lichtenberger called.

On the 9♣ river, both players checked. Lichtenberger showed 10♠9♠ for a rivered flush, much to the amusement of Kabrhel, who likened his opponent to Matt Damon.

Chance Kornuth was also spotted at this table, playing slightly less than a starting stack.

Kabrhel Hands Over Chips

Level 7 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel was in a hand on A♣8♣7♥8♥ and both he and an opponent put in 18,000.

The river was the 5♠ and his opponent used a time bank before betting 27,000.

"How much?" Kabrhel asked the dealer. "And he used one time bank? Very weak. If you used two I would fold."

Instead, Kabrhel called and was shown 10♦8♦ for trips. He handed over the chips and gestured to Daniel Negreanu who sat to his immediate left.

"Daniel always bringing me bad luck," said Kabrhel.
