Event 9: Dani Dayan Doubles Twice

$1,100 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
$100,000 Guaranteed | Structure | Payouts
Level 16:  3,000/5,000 with a 5,000 ante
Players Remaining:  23 of 189

Dani Dayan came into Day 2 with the shortest stack but she’s making her best effort to stick around. After one small double up, she got her chips in the middle once again, this time against Lewe Thiesen.

Dayan: Kh8c
Thiesen: As9h

Dayan was live but needed to catch. She missed the Jd9c7c flop, Thiesen paired his nine but she picked up a gutshot draw/backdoor flush draw. The straight got there on the Tc turn and she doubled after the 3h. But it was immediately apparent to Dayan who started to get up.

Then she saw the turn made her straight and she stacked up her new pile.

Dani Dayan – 93,000 (19 bb)

Ha Nguyen

Ha Nguyen was all in from the cutoff for about 50,000 with Js5h, and he needed to improve to stay alive against the Ah10h of Giuseppe Iadisernia in the big blind.

The board came Kd8d7s9h3d — Nguyen turned a gutshot straight draw, but improved no further. Iadisernia won the pot with his ace to eliminate Nguyen in 24th place.

Giuseppe Iadisernia  –  278,000  (56 bb)
Ha Nguyen  –  Eliminated in 24th Place  ($1,825)

With 23 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 164,000 (33 big blinds). The remaining players are all guaranteed at least $1,825 each, and the next pay jump is $2,250 for 21st place.

Event 9 drew 189 entries for the $1,100 two-day tournament and it nearly doubled its $100,000 guarantee. It played down to the money on Sunday evening and 24 players return for Day 2 to play down to a winner.

Erik Nomberg leads the field for the return with Jesse Lott, William Firebaugh, Lewe Theisen, and Stephen Brite rounding out the top five.

They are each guaranteed at least $1,825 but they all want the $46,020 awaiting the winner.

Cards go back in the air at 2 pm and we will have all the action until we have another RRPO Champion.
