Eriquezzo Continues To Climb After Bubble

Ryan Eriquezzo (New Haven, CT)

We mentioned that Ryan Eriquezzo was one of the biggest "gainers" through the money bubble that stalled play for close to a full level to start Day 2 and he hasn't slowed down since we entered the money as he just sent a player to the rail and moved himself close to the 250,000 chip mark.

The action was picked up with Eriquezzo raising from early position and the table would fold around to Barry Weprin, who would move all-in for just over 60,000 from the small blind.

Eriquezzo would snap call and the two would be flipping [Ad][Kc] against Weprin's [6c][6h].

The board would run out in Weprin's favor until the river, [2c][4d][2d][8c][Kh], with the final card ending his Event 1 run in 30th place.

"There it is," Eriquezzo would say, expecting a pair the whole time, never looking too concerned about the outcome of his flip.

Eriquezzo looks to be picking up where he left off last night, as he ended yesterday's Day 1 session with a big double to move close to the chip average, having already increased his stack by close to 100,000 chips today.

With that increase, after a quiet Day 1 in which he flew under the radar for close to the entire day, he's reasserted himself as a player that needs to be considered for this Event 1 title, as he has one of, if not the, best tournament resumes of the remaining field.
