Event 1 Flight G: Chip Leader Hunter Ritchie Helps Burst the Bubble

$360 Ultimate Re-Entry No Limit Hold’em
Level 14: 2,000/4,000 with a 500 ante
Flight G Players Remaining: 82 of 821

Hunter Ritchie

With 84 players remaining, a player raised all in from under the gun for about 55,000 and Hunter Ritchie called from the next seat over with AdKd, leading his opponent’s Ah8s.

The board came down Kh7h2d10dJh, giving Ritchie a pair of kings to eliminate his opponent.

On the first hand of hand-for-hand play, a short-stacked player committed his remaining 34,000 with 9h[0d] and ran into the JcJh of an opponent. No help arrived, and with that the remaining 82 players locked up seats for Day 2.

The chip leader appears to be Ritchie with about 455,000.

We’ll have full chip counts available later tonight, and a full Day 2 table and seat draw about 2 hours after Flight H concludes.
