Ozello Chips Up Without Showdown

Christian Zetzsche

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

John Lytle had vanished from the table just a few minutes earlier and the next interesting hand included Robert Ozello in the hijack and Gregory Bauer on the button.

Ozello leaped out of his chair to study the J♠8♠8♦Q♠10♥ river before he bet 12,000, because the light reflections on the table made it difficult to see the suits. Bauer went into a brief tank and then folded.

"Bluff?" Bauer asked and Ozello shook his head while saying "no, I was happy."

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Xiaoqiong Liu had a bet of 7,000 paid off on the J♠5♠5♥7♥A♣ river when her A♠8♠ had missed the nut flush draw but rivered aces and fives. After the hand, Gregory Bauer sighed vividly and John Lytle joked "if it folds to me, I will raise."

Robert Ozello in the big blind replied "and I might call" but neither of them got involved in the action thereafter. Bauer limped in and Aaron Eis in the small blind ended up all-in and at risk thereafter when his A♣Q♦ turned queens up on 8♣7♠7♦Q♥J♦.

However, Bauer had the best of it with 10♣7♣ for trips sevens and his stack of 48,300 covered by under one big blind.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

George St. Lawrence raised to 3,000 and Nicholas Funaro called in the next seat.

On the A♦5♦5♥ flop, St. Lawrence check-called for 2,200 and they checked the 7♦ on the turn. St. Lawrence bet the 7♠ river and Funaro folded to get shown the A♠.

"I had an ace too," Funaro told him and St. Lawrence replied "it was kind of a scary board".

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On the table of chip leader Colin Moll, Brandon Mueller was all-in right after coming back from the dinner break against Thomas Laviano.

Brandon Mueller: A♦3♦ All in
Thomas Laviano: J♥J♦

Mueller's flush draw on the 10♦4♦4♠ flop missed, but he spiked an ace on the A♥ turn to hold on the 8♥ river.

In the meanwhile, Stephen Press busted in the first hand coming back while Pranav Sarda jumped back into the action.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Almost all players had already gone into their 75-minute dinner break but one more table was still in action.

On the completed board of Q♣J♥6♣8♠Q♥, Xiaoqiong Liu checked out of the small blind and then faced a bet of 25,000 by Jordan Glazer in the big blind.

Liu eventually called two minutes into the break and mucked when she was shown the Q♦9♥ for trips queens by Glazer.

The action after dinner will resume at approximately 8.10 p.m. local time and Day 1a currently has 77 entries with 42 players remaining.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Gregory Bauer flopped a pair and turned a flush with Q♦8♦ on the 10♦8♣6♦9♦K♥ runout to double through Stephen Press and leave the latter short.

Amarender Puri put his hopes on J♥10♥ and ran into the A♥K♦ of Cleveland Richards. The A♣4♦2♠6♦4♣ board left Puri drawing dead on the turn.

Last but not least, Jordan Glazer was all-in with A♠A♣ against the pocket tens of John Lytle. On a board of 9♣7♣5♣3♠2♣, Glazer hit an unbeatable flush.
