Jenkins Qualifies for the Next Round
David Jenkins has just won his table and will be moving to Day 2. The first-time shootout player found himself in a difficult table with aggressive players like World Series of Poker (WSOP) Bracelet owner Qiang Xu and WSOP Ring winner Soheb Porbandarwala.
In his last hand and with a 9:1 chip lead, Jenkins went against Jack Duong holding Q♥J♦. Duong had 5♣5♥ and was ahead on a board of 9♠3♣4♥K♥. But Jenkins hit the board on the river Q♣, eliminating Duong and qualifying Jenkins for the next round.
"I think this is a fun experience. I like the format. Our table was crazy. We lost 5 players in the first 90 minutes. So it was very action packed and you had to play to win. I just happened to get some good cards. If I find some tough opponents tomorrow, I'll just try to find a style that fits best for them."
