While the two remaining quarterfinal matches are still stuck at 1-0, the first semifinal match is now 1-0 in Ari Engel’s favor.

It took five bets to get Engel and Jonathan Little’s chip in the middle and it was a flip with Engel’s 6d6h against AcKd. The board ran QsJh3c5dQc to send the big pot to Engel, leaving Little with only 1,500.

He put tossed them in on the next hand and his Kd6d went down to Qh4d to give Engel the 1-0 lead.
