Jorge Leidi

Nancy Birnbaum moved all in for 21,000 and Jorge Leidi called to put her at risk. The three-time Hollywood champ (and three-time WSOPC ring winner) was flipping with her KhJd against Leidi’s 3c3d.

“King in the window!” Birnbaum said when the Kd appeared in the dealer’s hand.

Then the table jumped when the last two threes in the deck followed the king. Birnbaum paired her king on the Kd3h3s flop but Liedi made quads to overkill the win. The drama-free 2c turn and 8d river finished the board to send her out.

Jorge Leidi – 145,000 (36 bb)
Nancy Birnbaum – Eliminated

Event 1 Day 1C: Kai Oki Sends Two Out

$100,000 Guaranteed | Structure
Level 14: 1,500/3,000 with a 3,000 ante
Day 1C Entries: 316

Kai Oki

With about 80K in the four-way pot and the flop reading 6c3d2d, Kai Oki was in the big blind and bet about 100,000. A full barrel of 5K chips that was enough to cover the other three players in the hand. Frank Russo was next to act and sitting with 88,000.

After several minutes to think it through, the clock was called and he folded before time ran out. The player in the cutoff shrug-called at risk for 51,000 and the button called all in as well for 55,000.

Oki: QcQh
Cutoff: AdQd
Button: 8s8c

“Watch a seven come!” Russo declared for the sevens he said he mucked.

Oki was ahead with the over pair queens and the big hand held up after the 9c turn and 3h river.

Kai Oki – 324,500 (108 bb)
