Robert Brubaker
Robert Brubaker

Both Robert Brubaker and Corbin Benjamin have been spotted at Table 15 with stacks of over 150,000. With under 70 players remaining and four levels of play left in the night, these two players will likely be ones to watch as play unfolds throughout the evening.

Wells Doubles Through Ajayi

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

There was around 40,000 in the pot on a board of {q-Spades}{k-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Anthony Wells was all in from middle position for a total of 29,300. Action was on Dapo Ajayi in the hijack and he was in the tank.

After some time, a clock was called on him. He was seemingly in the process of doing some calculations and committed to the call long before a countdown was necessary.

Anthony Wells: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Dapo Ajayi: {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

"I knew you had a jack!" exclaimed Ajayi, though his pair of queens was behind the kings of Wells.

The river fell {2-Hearts} and Wells secured the double, raking in his newly accumulated chips.

Simon Doubles Through Keeline

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

According to an account from Ben Keeline, David Levy opened from middle position to 2,500 and Jesse Simon went all in for 19,300 from Levy's direct left. Keeline was in the hijack and went all in over the top for 55,400, getting Levy to fold.

Ben Keeline: {a-}{q-}
Jesse Simon: {8-}{8-}

The board ran out in Simon's favor, coming {2-}{2-}{6-}{3-}{8-} to secure a double from the 2016 WSOP Colossus champion.

Pupillo Felted by Kurtz

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Kevin Kurtz on Day 1b
Kevin Kurtz on Day 1b

Nick Pupillo was seen exiting the tournament area with a seat card occupying the space where his chips formerly sat. The pot was in the process of being shipped to Kevin Kurtz, who had a winning hand of {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} still tabled on a board of {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}.

(Pupillo later revealed that he had {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and gotten all his chips in on the flop after flopping Broadway to Kurtz' set of kings which later filled up to a full house after the board came with running fours.)

While this ends Pupillo's chances at advancing for Day 1c, he is likely to be seen for tomorrow's final initial flight.

Ajayi Hitting Post-Dinner Heater

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Dapo Ajayi
Dapo Ajayi

After having around 40,000 coming back from the dinner break, Dapo Ajayi had already won a pot to chip up to a stack of around 70,000.

A player in early position shoved all in for 9,000 and Ajayi three-bet from middle position to 20,000. Action folded around to the big blind who shoved all in for 33,000. Ajayi made the call and all three hands were tabled.

Dapo Ajayi: {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Big Blind: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Under The Gun: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran out {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} to give Ajayi a pair of aces and earn the double knockout, vaulting him to a stack north of six figures shortly after the close of the registration period.
