Gargiulo Sends Aalvik Home

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Davis Aalvik raised to 900 from under the gun and he was called by Orito Kazuyuki in middle position and Cyril Attali in the small blind. In the big blind, Joseph "Joey" Gargiulo moved all in for 79,900 and Aalvik went into the tank. He debated his decision for a little bit before calling for his last 19,000 and everyone else folded.

Davis Aalvik: K♥K♦ All in
Joseph Gargiulo: A♠A♦

The flop rolled out 9♥J♦Q♥, prompting a response from Gargiulo.

"It's never easy, my god," said Gargiulo as the A♣ peeled off on the turn "Oh at least I got my ace. Make it a black deuce on the river."

A 3♣ peeled off on the river, keeping Gargiulo's set of aces in the lead while Aalvik exited the tournament.

"That's my poker nightmare right there," table-mate Chris Moneymaker said. "Level 1, I've got kings, and somebody forces me all in."

Jamar Adams raised to 600 from under the gun and was called by Lauren Hazelgreen from the cutoff and Kevin Gerhart on the button. Pedro Garagnani then squeezed to 3,200 from the small blind and everyone called for a bloated four-way pot.

The flop came 10♣J♣4♦ and it was checked to Hazelgreen, who bet 6,000. Gerhart folded, but Garagnani check-raised to 23,000, which got a fold from Adams. Hazelgreen moved all in and Garagnani quickly called to put Hazelgreen at risk.

Lauren Hazelgreen: A♠J♠All in
Pedro Garagnani: 10♠10♥

It was a nightmare scenario for Hazelgreen, who found herself drawing to runner-runner to avoid being the first person eliminated.

The 6♠ turn left her drawing dead and an irrelevant A♥ completed the board to make Hazelgreen the unfortunate first person to hit the rail in the 2025 Main Event.

Action was picked up on the flop in a pot between Johnny Lodden in middle position and Andrew Mueller on the button with 1,900 in the center.

With a board reading 6♦3♦10♠, both players checked to the Q♣ turn where Mueller bet 1,200. Lodden responded with a raise to 4,000 which prompted Mueller to raise to 12,000 and Lodden called.

On the river 8♠, Mueller bet 20,000 and Lodden quickly flicked in the chip to call.

Mueller tabled A♣J♠ for just ace-high, while Lodden tabled 3♥3♠ for a set of threes and he raked in a sizable early pot.

Camillo Baggiani opened to 500 from under the gun and received calls from Carlotta Ceccatelli in the cutoff, Andy Black in the small blind and Alexander Carr in the big blind.

All four players checked the 4♣2♠J♣ flop leading to the 3♣ turn. Black checked, Carr bet 700 and only Baggiani called.

Ace-High Is Good

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Collin Ball raised to 600 in early position, Norman Murray called in the hijack and Robert Christensen called on the button.

All players checked when the flop came 4♥4♠7♠, Ball decided to lead for 1,500 on the Q♥ and Christensen was the only caller.

Action checked on the 5♦ river, and Ball announced "jack-high" but could not beat the A♠8♣ of Christensen.
