Rodrigues Doubles Before Break
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Manuel Rodrigues earned a double-up before the break, railing an unfortunate opponent in the process and was kind enough to relay the details after the fact.
Rodrigues was in the small blind and had made the call pre-flop with 
so was understandably pretty happy with 
flop, check calling a 4,000 continuation bet from his opponent. The 
turn saw the same betting pattern, with Rodrigues check-calling a 9,500 second barrel and the river came down the 
to give Rodrigues the flush. This is when all the chips went in and Rodrigues' opponent went out.

Amiri Busts to Mooney
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
A table move proved to be the undoing of Ehsan Amiri, whose Main Event Day 1B is now done and dusted, courtesy of Geoff Mooney. Amiri had just moved the table and was in the big blind.
All the chips went in pre-flop, with Amiri moving all-in for 55,000 over the top of a Mooney button open and a flat call from a player to Mooney's direct left. Mooney re-shoved, which was enough to get the hand heads-up and the cards were turned over.

The 
runout saw Amiri depart and stacked Mooney up to 130,000.

Jabbour Wins Multiway, Attenborough Busts
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Billy 'the croc' Argyros opened the action from under-the-gun for 2,500 and received zero respect for his early postion open with Adrian Attenborough calling from one seat over, a player calling in middle position, Manuel Rodrigues calling on the button, Sayed Jabbour calling from the small blind and the big blind came along as well.
"I think the dealer wants to play as well," quipped Rodrigues just before the man in question spread a flop of 
which saw checks from all six players.
The 
turn saw Jabbour lead out for 6,000 with Attenborough the only caller. That was it for the betting in the hand, with both players checking the 
river.
Jabbour turned over and Attenborough mucked to drop down to 11,000, while Jabbour climbed to 95,000 after the hand.
Attenborough dropped another 6,000 the following hand against Billy Argyros, who took the rest of his chips the hand after to bring Attenborough's Day 1B to a premature end.
