Pablo Mariz just tagged in a few moments ago and the first hand he looked down at was pocket queens. A short stack was down to one big blind and held ace-jack, and the board ran out ten-high until the turn with a jack on the river. That was all she wrote, as that in fact burst the bubble and let the room erupt in celebration.

Russell Thomas took over from Kitty Kuo for the late stage of Day 1 and he's steadily guarding the decent stack his wife managed to build. However, you can't win them all, is what they say.
Thomas was out of position in a heads-up pot, checking to his opponent on the 
flop. The prize for seeing the turn card was set on 2,600 and Thomas agreed.
He check-called again on the 
turn, paying 6,500 this time. The river card was the and the action went check-check. Thomas showed 
but it wasn't enough to beat 
.

John Duthie shoved the button for his last 8,300 and Jamie Kerstetter quickly called in the big blind.
John Duthie: 
Jamie Kerstetter: 
The 
flop was a disaster for Duthie, as he needed running aces or queens to avoid an elimination just shy of the money. Sure enough, the turn and river completed the board and Duthie completed in spectacular fashion.

An ace on the river is usually a classic killer to win a coin flip, or spike a three-outer, or what have you.
An ace also hit the river when Andreas Klatt was all in with against 
for his last 7,900. It confused half of the table, as the players (and the dealer) thought that that was it for the German and his team. Klatt stayed calm, however, because he knew better.
The board ran 
, and Klatt indicated he made flush by moving the Jack of Hearts closer to the community cards. What actually happened was soon clear to everyone, and Klatt could fully enjoy his double.

The big blind defended and check-shoved a flop of 
. Hank Sitton, the initial raiser in the cutoff, called with 
for top two pair and faced the of his opponent for almost even stacks. The 
turn and 
river were both blanks, and the stacks were counted. Sitton had 14,200, and his opponent was covered by 1,000 to hit the rail.
At the same time, a short stack shoved for 4,600 in the cutoff, and Brian Pinkus called on the button. Barry Shulman reluctantly folded in the small blind and saw the player at risk turn over . Pinkus was ahead with and flopped a set on the flop. It was all over for the short stack on the turn, making the river a formality, and the field was reduced to just 129 hopefuls.

Jesse Sylvia was sitting on a very promising stack until a few moments ago when the following hand occurred.
There were four players in the pot for 2,000 apiece, with Jesse Sylvia in the latest position. The flop came 
, and the first two players checked. Deepinder Singh, directly to Sylvia's right, bet 6,200. Sylvia was the only player to call.
Then, the 
appeared on the turn, and the action continued. Singh cut out a bet of 12,000 and slid it forward. Sylvia asked his opponent to lift his left arm up so that he could see how much he had left behind. It was around 30,000. Sylvia took nearly three minutes to determine a plan.
The dealer considered it was time to call the floor person, and the new clock-calling rule was applied. Sylvia received 30 seconds and would have an additional 10-second vocal countdown should he need it. He called before reaching that point.
The river was a meaningless at first sight. Now it was Singh who didn't hurry. However, he announced an all in after about 90 seconds or so. This prompted a usual request from Sylvia: "Can I get the count?" It was 30,200 to call. Sylvia had more than that, but it was certainly a tough decision for the former November Niner. However, Sylvia moved a pile of his chips towards the middle, and Singh turned over for a flopped set.
Sylvia showed 
for top two and a missed flush draw. He's down to 7,100, while Singh's stack soared up to 115,000.
John Hulett, the captain of Singh's two-men team, must be happy about his sidekick's performance.
