Moreno Moving up the Leaderboard on Day 1A

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The cutoff bet 4,500 and got calls from both the small blind and Johnnie "Johnnie Vibes" Moreno from the big blind.

The flop came {3-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and it checked around.

The {a-Spades} turn built the pot as the cutoff bet 5,500 and both the small blind and Moreno made the call.

The {7-Spades} river brought the action to a halt and Moreno came out with the victory, with his {a-Clubs}{2-} being good enough to take down the pot.

Groll Hits 2-Outer On The River

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

After a raise to 4,000 from Ryan Groll in early position, Maria Konnikova folded and another player reraised to 10,000 just after her.

Action was back on Groll who decided to shove for 60,000. The other player thought for a while before calling.

Ryan Groll: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Opponent: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {a-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Groll managed to catch one of his two-outers on the river to survive.

Phillips Delivers Moore Pain

Level 11 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With his last 34,500 chips under the gun, Mike Phillips shoved for a little less than 14 big blinds.

Megan Moore went over the top for her final 53,500 from early position and was asked to count out her chips by the button, who eventually folded.

Mike Phillips: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Megan Moore: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The flop did not do Moore any favors when it ran {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs}, denying her any straight or flush draws.

The {9-Hearts} turn and {7-Hearts} river had her down to 19,000 chips while giving Phillips new life.

Kanit Goes Flush Over Flush to Double Up and Become Big Stack

Level 11 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Mustapha Kanit
Mustapha Kanit

Mustapha Kanit called from the big blind following a raise from a player early position, a call from middle position, and a call in the cutoff.

On the {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Spades} flop, the original raiser made a continuation bet to 12,000 and Kanit check-raised it 38,000, after the two other players folded. The early position player called.

The two players went heads up to an {8-Hearts} turn and Kanit bet 38,000. The opponent called again.

The river came the {5-Diamonds} and the Italian announced that he was all-in for 90,000. He was snap-called by his opponent.

Mustapha Kanit: {q-Spades}{2-Spades}
Opponent: {10-Spades}{8-Spades}

Kanit flush-over-flushed his opponent, received the full double-up, and is now one of the biggest stacks in the tournament.

Mizrachi Setup Up And Bust Before The End

Level 11 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

John-Paul Cao raised from early position, and Michael Mizrachi called from the button.

On a {a-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop, Cao bet 12,000 and Mizrachi raised to 28,000. Cao called to see a {q-Hearts} on the turn.
Cao checked, Mizrachi bet 40,000, and Cao committed the rest of his chips. Mizrachi called and was covered and at risk.

Michael Mizrachi: {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
John-Paul Cao: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The river came the {k-Hearts} but it did not change anything. Cao's two-pair was better than Mizrachi two-pair, and the latter was eliminated.
