Mike W. Knocks Out Bubble (Event #1A)

The bubble has officially broken in Event #1, Flight A ($600 NLH Multi-Flight).  Mike W, the chip leader turned the nuts holding [jc][10c] on a [7h][9s][qh][8s] board against his opponent's set of queens.  A third player also folded a set of sevens on the turn.

The [4h] river did not improve his opponent's hand, and he is sent to the rail, with the remaining 41 players making the money and making Day 2.

Mike W. Wins 200,000 Chip Pot (Event #1A)


Level 13
Blinds: 800/1,600
Ante: 200


According to players at the feature table, a big hand just played out resulting in the elimination of Ryan Mostafa.  Mostafa raised pre-flop and got a few callers, including Mike W. on the button.

The flop came [kc][ks][4h].  After a betting war between Mostafa and Mike, they were the only two players heading to the turn.

When the turn came the [2s], the players got it all in.  Mike W. had flopped a boat holding [kd][4d], and Mostafa had turned a boat holding [kh][2h].

The [qd] river did not change the outcome, and after a close count of chips, it's determined that Mostafa is eliminated from play.
 
Mike W. is now sitting with 230,000 in chips, and is the current chip leader of this flight.

Quads For Rohan Long (Event #1A)

Rohan Long shoves all in from middle position, and the player on the button asks for a count.  Upon hearing the total of 2,950, the player calls and both blinds fold.

"I just want Wesley (the dealer) to bust me before he gets moved to a new table," Long says as he turns over [3d][3s].  The button shows [ah][4s].

The flop comes [6s][6d][3c], giving Long a full house.  The [6h] comes on the turn, and Long calls out, "Ace, ace, ace," seemingly really wanting to be eliminated.  But it's the [3h] on the river, giving Long quad threes.

Rohan Long - 7,000

Joe Heinzmann Takes One Down (Ev.#2 $300 Omaha Hi-Lo)

Level 3 
Blinds: 50/100

On a board reading [8d][5h][3d], a player in the small blind bets 100.  The players under the gun and in the hijack both call.  Joe Heinzmann raises to 200 on the button, and all three players call.

When the turn comes the [9d]. It checks around to Heinzmann who bets 200.  Only the player in the small blind calls.

When the river comes the [qc], the small blind checks, and Heinzmann bets 200, and his opponent calls.

"Flush, nut low," Heinzmann says as he turns over [ac][2d][4d][4h].

The small blind looks at his cards, and mucks them face down.

Joe Heinzmann - 14,000
