Luis Dominguez

There was a ruckus shortly before tournament staff sent players on their 40-minute dinner break. After a series of raises, Luis Dominguez put his 400K stack in the middle and Steven Harmell called with a bit more to put him at risk.

Dominguez: JdJs
Harmell: AsQs

It was a race and Harmell took the lead on the AcTd5c flop. The 9h turn made little difference but the shouting began when Dominguez spiked the two-out Jh on the river to double up.

Luis Dominguez – 830,000 (55 bb)

Ryan Hogan

Ryan Hogan was down to 630,000 from his previous chip leading stack and put them in the middle against Courtland Twyman with the board reading Td7c5h4c.

Twyman: 9c8c
Hogan: AsAc

Hogan was ahead with the aces but had 14 outs to dodge on the river with Twyman looking for any club, six or jack. Hogan could barely look but his hand held after the Kd river. They counted down the stack and Twyman was just under 600,000 to exit the tournament.

Cesar Fuentes

Event 1 is down to 10 tables and moving along nicely despite the average stack sitting at 46 bigs. We expect a big slowdown as the afternoon moves along and the really big money shows up on the horizon.

Cesar Fuentes is one of those heading in the right direction and the former WPT RRPO final tablist is up to 885,000.
