William Carter: AQ All in

Christopher George: K7 All in
Christopher Cawlfield: QQ

George was hoping to hit his king but the flop dropped Q3J giving Cawlfield a set. The 5 turn gave George a glimmer of hope with an increase of outs. Unfortunately, the 2 river fell, sending George to hit the rails and claim his cashout prize.

Kil Just Happy to Be Here

Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Justin Kil was all-in for 600,000 in late position. Kartik Ved in the cutoff decided to raise to 1,800,000, making button Alex Ferrari consider his options.

While waiting for Ferrari to act, Kil confessed that this was his very first major tournament and that he was really enjoying himself in Vegas. Other players started teasing him that he had set a high bar for himself and that he would soon get hooked to the WSOP.

After much banter, Ferrari made the decision to call. When the blinds folded, the dealer proceeded to split the main pot at 2,400,000 and set aside the side pot of 2,600,000.

Ved and Ferrari checked the board Q41066 down. For the side pot, Ved showed A9 against Ferrari's K10, which hit the turn.

Kil happily asked, "Did you win it?" then showed A5 after the dealer's urging. Ferrari scooped the pot as Kil left the table, quite satisfied with his very first event ever in Vegas.

Han Helped by the River

Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Jurgen Pirgu raised to 2,000,000 from middle position and Jiancheng Han shoved for 6,900,000 from the big blind. Pirgu immediately called.

Jiancheng Han: AJ All in
Jurgen Pirgu: AQ

Han was dominated with the smaller kicker and needed some assistance from the dealer to avoid the rail.

The A65 flop and 9 turn meant Han needed a jack or a club on the river to survive.

The dealer burned a card and put out the miracle J on the river, giving Han two pair and keeping his dreams of winning a WSOP bracelet alive.
