Event 1 Day 1B: Not Family Friendly

$570 Deeper Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 3: 75/150

It’s already getting wild out there in the Day 1B flight.  With six players seated at the table, everyone decided it would be fun to get in on the action and it turned into a family feud.

After a pre-flop raise to 450 from the small blind and everyone calling, a flop of 5c4d7d hit the board and shockingly all the players checked it.  After a 8c hit the turn, the pre-flop raiser bet out 1100.  He was called the next two players and then Ian Davis decided to make a push and went all-in.  After all the action Davis had one caller and the hands were turned up.

Davis: 4h5d
Opponent: Jc8h

Davis and his two pair faded the Ts on the river and raked in the huge pot leaving this family one relative short.

The board read 10s9h5c3h when Stu Patterson bet 6,000 from the big blind. UTG+1 and a player in middle position both called, while two other players folded.

The river delivered the Jd and UTG+1 bet 15,000. Middle position folded and Patterson tanked for a minute before calling. Patterson revealed Kc9d and Patterson was up to 105,000 after the hand.

Event 1 Day 1B: Second Flight Flying

Level 12: 800/1,600/200 ante

They are underway in the second starting flight for Event 1 with another group looking to get a piece of the $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. The first flight drew 253 entrants and this one looks to easily top that number.

Players begin with 25,000 in front, will play 30-minute levels, and late registration or re-entry is available until the start of Level 9. That gives players four and a half hours to mix it up with a chance to come back on Sunday, approximately 10:30 this evening. Plenty of time to get to the ballroom and have some fun.

If players miss out today, there are still four more flights over the next two days.
