Dominated and Defeated

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Justin Heilman open-shoved all-in for 26,000 from middle position. When action folded around to Glenn Sorrells in late position, he went deep into the tank before eventually jamming over the top for 32,000.

Immediately to his left, Tonya Lastoskie had only 12,000 behind and looked visibly frustrated with the situation. She threw her hands up multiple times in exasperation before finally mucking her cards, leaving the two gentlemen to battle heads-up.

Justin Heilman: AK All in
Glenn Sorrells: KQ

Sorrells, dominated preflop, could only shake his head as the cards were tabled. The flop came K43, keeping Heilman well ahead with top pair-top kicker. The 73 runout changed nothing, and Heilman scored the double-up, leaving Sorrells with little under four big-blinds

On her feet as she watched the hand, Lastoskie breathed a sigh of relief, happy she avoided the spot and lived to fight another hand.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The table folded to Tykeise Johnson, who opened the action with a raise to 6,000 from the button.

Selby Gassner responded from the big blind with a raise all in for 27,500.

Johnson called, leading to a showdown.

Selby Gassner: AJAll in
Tykeise Johnson: AQ

Gassner was dominated heading into the flop, but a flop of 3JA reversed his fortune.

The J turn improved to a full house, and the 9 river sealed the deal on the hand, awarding Gassner the double.

Christopher Keem
Christopher Keem

Christopher Keem open-shoved for 22,000. Action folded around to Keith Mccormack in the big blind. He paused for a moment before begrudgingly making the call, and they were off to see five.

Christopher Keem: A10 All in
Keith Mccormack: 99

The board ran out 7J3QK and Mccormack was in disbelief.

Keem hit his gutshot on the river and found some crucial chips heading into the closing stage of day one.

Ghobadi Backdoors into the Winner

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

From the hijack, Faraz Ghobadi three-bet shoved for 22,000 after Azaan Nagra had opened from middle position. When it got back to Nagra he called to put Ghobadi at risk.

Faraz Ghobadi: A9 All in
Azaan Nagra: A10

Ghobadi was in a lot of trouble and wasn't helped by the 10J2 flop, as Nagra improved to a pair of tens. The 7 turn gave Ghobadi a flush draw, which he managed to spike on the K river, and he doubled up.

The 9 fell on the turn, prompting White to jam for around 43,000. Colquhoun didn't take long to fold his cards, surrendering the pot to White.

Taylor Wins Multi-way Pot

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The hand was already underway with three players — Jerome Taylor under the gun, John Divecha in middle position, and Michael Coombs on the button — battling in a pot of 30,000 when the dealer fanned out a flop of 493.

All three players checked the flop, and action remained the same on the 8 turn.

When the 7 hit the river, Taylor took the opportunity to lead out for 17,000. His bet was enough to get both opponents to fold, and he scooped the pot uncontested.
