Shortly after chipleader Rodolfo Guaigua was moved to a new table, he raised UTG+1 to 8,000. Scott Robbins reraised from the cutoff to 30,000, and Guaigua called.

Robbins said something along the lines of, “When you sat down with all those chips, I knew you’d be the one to bust me. So it’s been nice playing with you.”

The flop came Qs9h9d, Guaigua checked, and Robbins moved all in. Guaigua quickly folded AdJd face up, forfeiting the pot.

Robbins showed JsJc as he took the pot.

Scott Robbins  –  134,000  (45 bb)
Rodolfo Guaigua  –  347,000  (116 bb)

With about 99 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 105,000 (35 big blinds). Action will continue this evening until there are 53 players remaining, and everyone who survives this flight will make the money and advance to Day 2, which begins Sunday at 1:00 pm.
