Negreanu Departs; Moncek Bad Beats Garma

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Daniel Negreanu was all-in already and the 862J turn then also brought the last 149,000 of Petko Tsakov into the middle against Eric Kurtzman.

Daniel Negreanu: AK83 All in
Petko Tsakov: 10876 All in
Eric Kurtzman: J976

The river brought the 9 and Negreanu was eliminated while Tsakov doubled through Kurtzman.

One table over, another big pot was brewing when Eric Garma back-raised to 220,000 preflop and then got it in against Michael Moncek on a flop of 1055.

Moncek was the player at risk for 385,000 with the A642 and Garma tabled the AAQ7.

The flush didn't come, but Moncek got there with the 3 turn and 4 river.

"This is so fuckin stupid," Garma sighed as he took a massive hit just before bagging.

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Bogdan Capitan
Bogdan Capitan

Ren Lin raised from under the gun and Bogdan Capitan three-bet out of the big blind for Lin to call. On the KQ2 flop, Capitan bet the pot and Lin called with around ten big blinds behind. They got it in after the 4 turn with Lin at risk.

Ren Lin: J10109 All in
Bogdan Capitan: AA77

The river was the blank 4 and that sent Lin to the rail just shy of bagging.

Mercier Soars to Big Stack With a Double Knockout

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Jason Mercier
Jason Mercier

A large four-way pot was looming over on table 143 and the flop of K63 saw Sam Soverel as well as Eric Kurtzman check. Jason Mercier in the cutoff then moved all-in for 317,000 and Evan Krentzman called all-in for 127,000. Sam Soverel called as well with a shorter stack and Kurtzman folded.

Sam Soverel: A876 All in
Evan Krentzman: AK105 All in
Jason Mercier: KQJ3

Mercier was ahead with the top and bottom pair, which remained to be the case with the 5 turn. He asked for a queen and received the Q river to scoop an enormous pot.

Krentzman re-entered shortly after while Soverel can still jump back in tonight or in the first level of Day 2.

Suvarna Triples Up, Barbero Departs in Huge Three-Way All-In

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Santhosh Suvarna
Santhosh Suvarna

Nacho Barbero had raised to 35,000 preflop from the cutoff and was called by Santhosh Suvarna on the button and Ben Lamb in the big blind. The flop then fell 5109 and Lamb checked.

Barbero made a bet of 55,000, which Suvarna raised to 300,000. Lamb then shoved all in, covering both of his opponents.

Barbero spent a few minutes in the tank before calling for roughly 540,000 chips, as did Suvarna for his stack of 433,000, leading to a three-way showdown.

Santhosh Suvarna: K1098 All in
Nacho Barbero: AQJJ All in
Ben Lamb: QJ105

The 7 turn gave Barbero the nut flush draw in addition to his open-ender, but the A bricked out for everyone.

Suvarna won the main pot with two pair, tens and nines, and Lamb won the small side pot with two pair, tens and fives.

Barbero got no part of any pot and headed out the tournament area with 15 minutes left on Day 1.

Seiver Doubles Through Simao

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Scott Seiver
Scott Seiver

Scott Seiver defended the big blind and then check-called a bet by Joao Simao on the KJ2 flop to see the 2 on the turn. Seiver checked again and Simao in the cutoff bet 50,000 before the check-shove for 254,000 followed.

Simao used three time bank extensions before making the call.

Scott Seiver: A1062 All in
Joao Simao: KJ75

The 8 river changed nothing anymore as Seiver doubled. In the meanwhile, Eric Wasserson had dropped by to share the news that his aces were cracked by a Badugi hand. A short-stacked Arthur Morris departed shortly after from the same table, too.

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Three ways to the Q85 flop, Shahar Levi in the small blind bet the pot and pushed forward 175,000 in green chips. Iaroslav Boiko called all-in from middle position for 57,000 and Jared Bleznick folded on the button.

Iaroslav Boiko: 10986 All in
Shahar Levi: AAJ8

The Q turn took away some outs for Boiko and the 6 river ended his run on the first bullet.

Connor Drinan: AQJ8 All in
Dirk Gerritse: 10983

The Q turn improved Drinan to two pair but the 2 river gave Gerritse a flush for the knockout.

Smith Sends Off Ajez

Level 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Najeem Ajez opened from early position and received calls from Daniel Aharoni in middle position and David Benyamine in the cutoff before Dylan Smith raised to 50,000 from the small blind. Ajez moved all in for around 100,000, Aharoni and Benyamine folded and Smith made the call with a covering stack to put Ajez at risk.

Najeem Ajez: A992 All in
Dylan Smith: AK64

The board ran out QJK77. Smith's pair of kings were good at showdown and he took the pot while Ajez made his exit from the tournament area.
