Matt Affleck

The player in the under-the-gun position raised to 600, the player in the hijack called, and so did Matt Affleck from the button. The players in the blinds folded.

The flop came {A-Spades}{4-Spades}{10-Clubs}, the under-the-gun player bet 1025, the hijack folded, and Affleck called.

They both checked through the {7-Hearts} on the turn.

The {K-Clubs} on the river completed the board and Affleck's opponent check-called the 2,100 bet. Affleck showed {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for a pair of aces with the eight-kicker. His opponent showed {A-Spades}{6-} for the same pair but a lower kicker.

Joe Cada

2009 Main Event winner Joe Cada is one of the bigger names in the field today and he just knocked out Michael Gagliano.

Gagliano was all in from the hijack and was called by Cada in the small blind.

Gagliano: {K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Cada: {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} — no help for Gagliano — and he was eliminated. As reentry is still possible, he might be back later.

Allen Cunningham Folds

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Allen Cunningham raised to 400 from the cutoff and Armando Figueroa in the big blind called.

They both checked through the {J-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{8-Clubs} on the flop.

Figueroa check-called the 400 bet of Cunningham on the {2-Diamonds} on the turn.

The {8-Spades} on the river completed the board. Figueroa bet 1,400.

"Alright, you can have it," Cunningham said.

"Come on, you can pay me once!" Figueroa exclaimed. He showed the {8-Diamonds} for a set of eights and Cunningham just smiled.

"I am playing so badly against you," Figueroa muttered afterwards.

Katie Lindsay Wins

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

Hand #1: On the table, the board read {5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Katie Lindsay was all in from the big blind for her remaining 1,500 chips. The player in the cutoff called and showed {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for two pairs, eights and fives with the ace kicker. Lindsay, however, showed {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} for a higher two pairs. The river was a blank and Lindsay survived.

Hand #2: In the next hand, Lindsay called the 500 raise of the same player but now he was sitting in the hijack and Lindsay in the small blind. The flop came {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} on which they both checked. The turn was the {10-Hearts}, Lindsay bet 800, and her opponent called. The river completed the board with the {8-Hearts}. Lindsay bet 2,500 and her opponent folded.
