Last Minute Joy for Some
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Just before the end of the day, Team PokerStars Pro Jan Heitmann found pocket aces to knock out a gentleman holding pocket jacks. Heitmann's rollercoaster of a day ended on a high - he's at around 100,000 going into Day 2.
Across the room, EPT Snowfest winner Vladimir Geshkenbein won an enormous pot right at the death as well - he finishes the day on 181,500, among the bigger stacks.
And a more modest bit of good luck for Salvatore Bonavena as well - his queens came good against a lady opponent's aces when the board ran out and he doubled to 40,000.
