Fitzpatrick Now Chasing McKuin, Roetker Getting Short, Ha Gone

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 1,000 ante
Jason Fitzpatrick

Steven McKuin has taken over the chip lead with a series of big pots and eliminations since the break, leaving Jason Fitzpatrick chasing him down for what was once his Day 1a chip lead.

In a recent pot, Drake Roetker, who is now battling a short stack raised to 8,000 in middle position and got three-bet to 28,000 by Fitzpatrick. Roetker called for just under half of his remaining stack.

On the 866 flop, Roetker checked and Fitzpatrick bet the pot, which would be an all-in call for Roetker is he chose to do so.

Roetker instead quickly folded to leave himself hope of surviving until the final five, who will move on to Day 2 in the money.

Meanwhile, Thai Ha was recently eliminated, leaving ten players in the field, meaning the next elimination will send players to the final table of play.

Picking action up on the flop with 13,000 in the pot and a board of K102, Thai Ha checked his small blind to Matthew Liu who bet 5,000 from the button.

Ha called and the duo proceeded to check the 8 turn.

On the 10 river, after a final check from Ha, Liu bet 21,000 which got a snap-call from Ha.

Liu rolled over 10866 for a full house of tens over eights.

Ha mucked his hand and now needs to do some work to give himself a chance moving on to Day 2 for a shot at a second title this series.

Meanwhile at the other table, Kaleb Harwell was eliminated to trim the field to 11 players.

Chang Gets Surprising Win Versus Kuney

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 500 ante
Danny Chang

With about 40,000 in the middle on a completed board of 74383, Danny Chang bet 13,000 from under the gun against Michael Kuney in the cutoff.

Kuney cut out calling chips and thought about his decision for a bit before electing to call.

"Good call," complimented Chang who reluctantly showed the 8 for a pair of eights.

Kuney showed A7XxXx and told Chang that was it, just a pair of sevens.

Chang showed the rest of his hand, J986 and his lone pair of eights was good enough to take the pot as Kuney gathered his pair of sevens and sent them to the muck.
