Craig Varnell was in late position and raised to 2,000. Action folded to Rick Jackman on the button who three-bet up to 5,500. Varnell didn't take long to decide; he moved all in and got snap-called by Jackman for his remaining 27,500.
Jackman:
Varnell:
The board ran out and Jackman made a full house, having Varnell drawing dead on the turn.
A player under the gun moved all in for 8,000. A player in late position called and action folded to Andreas Christoforou in the small blind who announced all in for about 100,000. The player in late position went into the tank and elected to fold leaving the action heads-up.
Andreas Christoforou tabled
Under the gun showed
The board ran out and Christoforou added to his mountain of chips and is sitting as one of the leaders with less than 400 players remaining on Day 1.
Joe Cada has been steadily chipping up throughout the day. The two-time WSOP bracelet winner doesn't get bluffed often, but we just witnessed one occurrence of it.
A player under the gun raised to 1,800. Cada was in the small blind and called. Guy Cannon was in the big blind and announced a raise to 5,000. The original raiser called and Cada called.
The flop was and Cada checked. Cannon fired out a bet of 5,500. The under the gun player tanked for a minute or two and then folded. Cada took about ten seconds and then asked his opponent, "Will you show?" He didn't get a response. Again, "Will you show if I show?" and Cannon responded, "Show me first."
Cada obliged, flashing pocket jacks and folding. Cannon, a man of his word, showed the table pocket nines. A proud moment for sure for the Fountain Hills, Arizona resident.
With 286 players remaining, the bubble is looming as the end of Day 1 approaches. If play reaches within two of the bubble then they will continue on until the money bubble has burst. If at the end of play they are more than two players away from the money bubble then players will bag for the night. Stay tuned.
With the board reading and what appeared to be about 65,000 in the pot, the player in the big blind checked. Martin Kabrhel was on the button and tanked for several minutes, counting his stack and maneuvering chips around. He asked the dealer to spread the pot and after reaching back for three stacks of yellow chips, he announced 59,900 as his bet. The player in the big blind then had a look of disbelief on his face and started counting out his stack as he had Kabrhel covered. The big blind then came out with over 100,000 and check-raised kabrhel all in for his remaining chips. Kabrhel snap-called with 91,700 total and the big blind tabled for a flush. Kabrhel flipped over for a full house and this vaulted him into the outright chip lead on the day.
