Jerome Solomon

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Ryan Pringle presumed he would have a short day with only 34,000 chips, so on the second hand of play he put them all at risk from early position, and got a call from Somasekhar Sanampuri in the cutoff.

Ryan Pringle: 8♥8♣ All in
Somasekhar Sanampuri: K♣Q♥

There was no suspense with the runout of 2♦4♠Q♦K♦J♣, giving Sanampuri top two pair and the win.

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

David Mccarthy moved all in for his remaining from a middle position for his remaining 82,000 and only Meshesha Truesaw called from the small blind.

David Mccarthy: Q♦K♦ All in
Meshesha Truesaw: J♥J♠

Mccarthy improved on the 8♣6♦K♠ flop, sitting comfortably with a pair of kings.

But his luck changed on the J♣ turn as Truesaw turned trip jacks.

The 8♠ river didn't change anything and Truesaw eliminated Mccarthy just 20 minutes into the start of the day.

Laura Fryer

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

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♦ All in
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♥ All in
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.
