Assmus and Frantz are Eliminated
Bryan Frantz was down to only a few big blinds when he was all in and at risk from the big blind. He was up against Yushan Shi to his direct left. Action was followed from the A♣2♦10♣ flop.
Bryan Frantz: 3♦J♦
Yushan Shi: K♥Q♣
The 10♠ turn and 7♠ river didn't change anything, and Shi was left to take the pot, eliminating Frantz early in the day.
On the next table across, Stephan Assmus was also all in and at risk of elimination from a middle position with only a short stack remaining. Mengqi Chen called Assmus in the cutoff, and the players went heads-up to the runout.
Stephan Assmus: 2♦2♥
Mengqi Chen: A♦Q♥
Assmus was hoping to hold, but Chen hit an ace on the 7♦6♦A♥ flop to put him ahead.
The 5♣ turn and 6♠ runout didn't save Assmus, and he was also eliminated in the first level of the day.
