In the first hand of the day, Latifa Guennas moved all in for her remaining 80,000 from the cutoff and was called by Aubrey Williams in the big blind.
Latifa Guennas: K♦2♦
Aubrey Williams: J♥8♥
Guennas was ahead with the king, and the K♠9♣Q♦ flop was good for her too. She held to double up and remain in the tournament after seeing the J♠ turn and 9♥ river and retook her seat at the table.
In the very next had she open-jammed again for 190,000, and action folded around to Williams, who was in the small blind. Williams re-jammed for her chip-leading stack, and the pair went to showdown again.
Latifa Guennas: A♦K♥
Aubrey Williams: A♥A♠
Quennas found herself up against pocket aces, and this time she didn't fare so well.
She did pick up some straight outs on the J♥10♣2♥ flop, but bricked on the 9♣ turn and 6♣ river to see her time in the tournament come to an end.
She was the first to bust from the tournament today, taking home a $4,123 payout.
