Scott Zakheim opened the action and Carlos Guerrero moved all in for 84,000 from the button. The blinds released and Zakheim quickly called.

Zakheim:
Guerrero:

Zakheim was in good shape to earn another $500 bounty with his kings and he improved to a set on the flop. Guerrero picked up a heart flush draw on the turn but the river was a blank.

“Always a sweat,” Paul Domb joked from the other side of the table.

We had a little action to start the day with short stacks trying to double up.

First up was Arthur Gavrilov moving all in for 55,000 and David Levi called in the small blind. Gavrilov showed and Levi was similar with . The all-black card flop ensured they would chop the pot.

The second was a bit more dramatic. Adam Zeltser shoved for 79,000 after A.J. Gambino opened to 15,000. Paul Domb called in the small blind and they were heads up.

Zeltser:
Domb:

Zeltser was in a lot of trouble and looking at a seventh-place finish. That changed when the dealer spread the board to give them both two pair sevens and fives with an ace kicker.

“That could be a $32,000 card!” Zeltser joked with the table.

Six starting flights and a long play down Day 2 were not enough to crown an Event 1 champion. At the end of the day, there were 12 players still in contention and they return to the Event Center today at 2 pm and we will crown our champion.

There is a lot of money up for grabs today with $291,665 awaiting the winner of the opening tournament.

They will return to blinds at 100,000/200,000 with a 200,000 big blind ante and levels will increase to 60 minutes when the final table is formed with nine players remaining.
