No hand-for-hand was played in Day 1A as 6 players managed to bust in a matter of 5 minutes in the last few hands of the day. All of the remaining 30 players are bagging their chips for Day 2 and will be guaranteed at least a mincash as they are in the money. …
Level 17: 2000/5,000 (5,000) Entries: 31/201 Unlucky run for Aspen Oeye after he lost a massive pot with AQ against QQ earlier. He put his few remaining blinds all in with and got called by pocket Kings. Nothing helped Oeye on the board and he ended up bubbling the tournament. All of the remaining…
