Event 1: Table 5 Tussles

$570 Deeper Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 24: 12,000/24,000/4,000 ante

Chip leaders Scott Menard and Gaston Miculitzki were 1-2 in the chip counts but Table 5 has turned out to be a major speed bump in their chase to the championship.

Miculitzki dropped about 500,000 and Scott Menard ran into Ory Hen – a event winner at the 2014 Seminole Hard Rock “Rock N’ Roll” Poker Open

On a board of Jc5s3d10c, Menard fired out a bet of 130,000 only to have Hen go over the top for 450,000.  After a short time in the tank, Menard laid it down.  Hen asked if Menard wanted to see it and then showed J-10 for two pair.  Hen and Menard have now started chatting and it appears this will be the table to watch for a while in Event 1.

60 players remain with a minimum payout of $2,250 for the remainder of the field.
