Lewis Has What Van Beveren Represents; Lie Replaces Bellantoni

Frank Visser

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

With 7,000 in the pot, Romain Lewis bet 2,000 from the small blind on the 2♠K♦A♣ flop. David Van Beveren raised to 8,000, and Lewis called.

Van Beveren tossed in an additional 10,000 on the J♥ turn. Lewis check-called again, after which the 8♣ river was checked down.

Lewis tabled top two pair with A♥K♥.

"That's what I was trying to rep," Van Beveren told Lewis as he tossed his cards into the muck.

Meanwhile, Aylar Lie joined the Main Event as Michael Bellantoni had lost his last few blinds.

There were roughly 23,000 chips in the pot on 8♦3♠6♦.

Kohal Arai who was on the button bet 12,000, and Micah Scarpelli in the big blind called.

Aria went all in for 33,500 on the 7♠ turn, and Scarpelli went deep into the tank before he eventually called.

Kohal Arai: A♦9♦ All in
Micah Scarpelli: K♦K♣

The 8♣ on the river saw Scarpelli let out a loud clap and cheer as he scooped the pot to eliminate Arai.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Thomas Calzone from the small blind and Caio Ozawa from the cutoff went heads-up to the turn with 6,000 in the middle and the board reading K♠J♠7♣8♦.

Calzone checked to Ozawa who announced a bet of 4,000, before Calzone quickly check-raised to 10,000. Ozawa then three-bet the turn to 21,200 with 26,100 behind. Calzone weighed his options before he asked for the rest of Ozawa's chips as the covering stack, and Ozawa snapped it off for 47,300 total.

Caio Ozawa: 10♣9♣ All in
Thomas Calzone: J♥J♦

Ozawa had turned the nut straight against Calzone's flopped set of jacks. However, the script was flipped after the dealer peeled off the 7♦ on the river, giving Calzone a full house, and sending Ozawa to the rail in brutal fashion as his Main Event dream will have to wait another year.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Shortly after Meisser knocked down Beaupre to just a handful of chips, the pair were caught in another battle.

Marco Meisser opened to 2,000 from early position and Matheus Grazziotin called from the hijack. Shawn Beaupre moved all in for his last 1,400 from the cutoff and the players went three-ways to the 4♥10♠J♦ flop.

Both non-all-in players snap checked to the 9♣ turn and Meisser bet 1,500. Grazziotin stuck around and paid to see the Q♦ complete the board and Meisser asked for around 2,000. Grazziotin went into the tank and meanwhile Beaupre was sitting patiently waiting to see his fate.

Grazziotin eventually made the call and Meisser showed his king-queen for the straight. Grazziotin flahsed his hand to his neighbor and then pushed his cards across the table face down and into the muck.

Shawn Beaupre: XxXx All in
Matheus Grazziotin: 8♠7♣
Marco Meisser: K♣Q♠

Another player at the table picked up the cards and flipped over Grazziotin's hand as if you show one you show all revealing he had the smaller straight. Beaupre pushed his hand towards the dealer and his cards stayed face down, and he was quietly eliminated from the tournament.

Heidari Busts in Brutal Fashion

Christian Zetzsche

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

A preflop raising war saw Michael Tweedlie get all of the chips into the middle against Abbas Heidari and it was the most classic of setups that unfolded.

Abbas Heidari: A♠A♦ All in
Michael Tweedlie: K♥K♣

The J♦4♦3♥ flop was safe for Heidari as was the 4♣ on the turn. However, Tweedlie spiked the K♠ on the river and that spelled the end for Heidari. Both stacks were counted and the very active Tweedlie had chipped up to more than 65,000 already to knock out Heidari as second casualty on Day 1c.

He was followed by Jesse McVicker a few minutes later.

Newkirk First to Bust Day 1c; Graner Stacks Up

Laura Fryer

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Dewitt Newkirk and Stephen Graner went head-to-head in a hand after just 20 minutes of Day 1c action. Newkirk was on the button, and Graner was sitting under the gun.

The pair were on the river, and the pot stood at around 6,000. The board had run out 10♦10♣9♥ on the flop, A♥ on the turn, and action was caught from the J♣ river.

Newkirk already had a 20,000 bet in front of him, and Graner had jammed for his remaining stack, covering Newkirk's last 26,100 chips that he hadn't already committed to the pot.

Newkirk went into a tank and said, "I have to call," before he picked up his stack and moved it into the pot and said, "I call."

Another player at the table said, "Really?!" just as the cards were turned.

Dewitt Newkirk: Q♥8♥ All in
Stephen Graner: A♦A♠

Newkirk let out a "Damn!" and stood up from the table after he saw Graner flip over his pocket aces, as he was behind to his boat. Newkirk's rivered straight wasn't enough to keep him in the main event, and he was the first to walk away from the tables shortly after the start of Day 1c.
