Junichi Nakagiri
Junichi Nakagiri

The first hand of the day has resulted in the first casualty.

The action folded around to Daniel Demicki in the cut off who raised to 20,000. Junichi Nakagiri then moved all in for his remaining 68,000 from the small blind. Jason Mo folded his big blind before Demicki made the call.

Demicki: {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Nakagiri: {A-Spades}{8-Clubs}

Nakagiri was in great shape to double up until the board ran out {2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades}{k-Hearts} to see Demicki spike a pair on the river resulting in the Japanese player hitting the rail.

Jennens Takes a Chunk From Lin

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Tyler Jennens raised from the small blind to 24,000 and Team PokerStars Pro Celina Lin called from the big blind.

The flop came down {2-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Jennens bet 20,000 after which Lin raised it up to 54,000. Jennens tanked for a bit before making the call.

On the turn the {6-Hearts} hit and both players checked.

The river was the {K-Hearts} and Jennens checked once again. Lin put together a bet of 69,000 and slid it forward.

Jennens paused for a while but eventually he made the call. Lin tapped the table in defeat, Jennens showed the {8-} and that made the Team PokerStars Pro muck her hand. Jennens did not even show his second card and he raked in this pot.

The action folded to Daniel Demicki who raised from the small blind to 25,000 and Shintaro Baba moved all in immediately from the big blind. Baba was all in for right around 140,000 and Demicki called instantly.

Demicki: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Baba: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The board ran out {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and while it looked like Baba was going to receive a double up, it was the river that sent him to the rail.

Daniel Demicki kicked things off with a raise to 20,000 from under the gun. The action folded around to Tai Tan on the small blind who moved all in for 291,000 in chips. Demicki looked over at Tan’s stack before making the call.

Demicki: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Tan: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Tan was trailing against the pocket pair and would find no help as the board ran out {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{j-Diamonds} to see him eliminated in 11th place.

Quad jacks for Demicki see him soar up to 1,260,000 in chips.
