Alan Keating

In the final hand before the break, three players were already on the A♦9♦8♦ flop, with Alan Keating already all in on the button. The pot stood at around 50,000 and action was on Jeffrey Zigulis in the big blind.

Zigulis moved all in for his remaining 155,200, and action went to William Leffingwell to either call or fold. Leffingwell asked "How much is it?" before saying "You know I have you covered right?".

Leffingwell took around a minute before folding, leaving the players to go heads-up to showdown.

Alan Keating: K♠Q♣All in
Jeffrey Zigulis: 8♠8♥

Keating needed to find help on the runout to remain in the tournament, but missed on the 9♣ turn and 7♦ river, sending him home at the end of the first level of the day.

Seeing the Q♠Q♣2♣7♦ turn, Niall Farrell checked from the big blind to Antonios Koukouras on the button. Kouskouras bet 8,000, and Farrell called.

The 2♥ river completed the board, and Kouskouras sized up to 12,500. Farrell spent some time in the tank, then tossed in a call. Kouskouras tabled Q♦4♦ for a full house, and Farrell mucked his cards in defeat.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Tomas Geleziunas opened to 9,000 in hijack and received an all-in shove for around 28,000 from David Leja on the button sending Geleziunas to the tank. Geleziunas called after a few seconds, taking both of them to showdown.

David Leja: Q♦Q♣ All in
Tomas Geleziunas: A♣K♠

Leja, ahead with his queens, watched as the dealer flopped 4♦9♣6♠. Geleziunas needed an ace or a king to drop to push ahead, but the 6♥ turn didn't give that to him.

Leja needed to last one more card for a double up, but the river fell K♦ giving the pair Geleziunas the pair he had been waiting for. Geleziunas scooped the pot as Leja left the table quietly.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

John McDonald got his final 24,000 into the middle from the cutoff and was at risk against Sergio Aido from middle position.

John McDonald: A♠J♠ All in
Sergio Aido: A♣K♥

McDonald was in rough shape against the dominating ace of Aido. The K♦J♦4♠ flop gave both players a pair but McDonald could improve no further on the 6♣10♣ runout as the Spaniard held on for the elimination as he approaches 200,000 early in Day 2.

Baron Has Won a Flip

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A preflop raising war ended with the preflop shove by Isaac Baron and he forced out Lester Edoc as well as Florian Gaugusch, while George Won eventually called all-in for just shy of the starting stack.

George Won: 9♥9♠
Isaac Baron: A♣K♠

The K♥3♣2♠ flop vaulted Baron into the lead and Won said "give me a nine one time". That one time was denied on the 7♣ turn and 10♣ river to knock out Won. Edoc mentioned he folded pocket queens while Gaugusch added "I also had ace-king but there was a four-bet and five-bet ...".

Christina Renz raised to 12,500 chips from middle position. Roberto Saenz three-bet all in from the hijack. Soo Hyun Chang called for less with about 40,000 chips.

Renz thought about it for a minute, then folded.

Soo Hyun Chang: A♣8♣All in
Roberto Saenz: A♦K♠

Chang needed help from the runout and didn't get it, as the dealer laid out 6♣J♠3♦2♣K♦ to give Saenz a pair of kings and the win.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Down to only 14,400, Thomas Nass moved all-in and he was looked up by Marc Lesitsky with the far bigger stack.

Thomas Nass: 8♦8♣ All in
Marc Lesitsky: J♣J♥

The K♦Q♦5♦ flop gave Nass a lot more equity, but he failed to connect with the 7♠ turn and 5♠ river.

Mauricio Sanchez opened to 2,200 in the cutoff and was called by Denis Charlier on the button. Eric Nathan, better known as 'BarstoolNate' shoved all in for his last 13,300 in the big blind. Sanchez folded but Charlier thought for a minute before calling.

Eric Nathan: A♦K♠All in
Denis Charlier: 9♥9♦

"You took that long with nines?" Nathan shockingly asked. The board ran out 8♠7♣7♦4♦6♦ and Nathan was unable to connect with the board, leaving Charlier's nines as the best hand.

"Jefffff!!" Nathan shouted as Jeff Platt was standing nearby waiting for an interview. "Now what do I do?"
