Kovalchuk Makes Little Work of Tino to Win His Table

A short-stacked Tino Lechich managed to double through Oleksii Kovalchuk holding {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} against the latter's {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} on a {10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{9-Spades} board, but it would prove too little too late as Lechich fell a short time later.

It happened when Lechich held {K-Spades}{10-Clubs} and was dominated by the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} of Kovalchuk. There would be no come-from-behind victory for Lechich this time as the board ran out {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

Monnette & Guichard Advance

Manig Loeser found himself all in holding {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and at risk against Paul Guichard, who held the superior {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}. The {4-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} flop left Loeser looking for running cards, but when the {A-Clubs} on the turn left him drawing dead, he shook hands with his opponent and exited the tournament floor. The {J-Clubs} was put out on the river for good measure, and Guichard punched his ticket to Day 2.

Meanwhile, John Monnette won his table and has advanced to Day 2 with a stack of 63,600.
