Christopher Battaglia
Christopher Battaglia

William Willis limped in from under the gun and the cutoff raised to 2,500 to start a calling train that included Chris Battaglia on the button, the small blind and Willis.

Action checked to the raiser on the flop of 48J and he continued for 6,000. Battaglia and Willis both called. Battaglia and Willis checked again on the A turn and the cutoff sized up to 12,000. Battaglia raised to 35,000 to bring folds from both opponents.

"I'll show this one," Battaglia said before flashing 44 for a set of fours. "The next one is Pay Per View."

Roberts Gets Greedy

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Shannan Roberts
Shannan Roberts

In a heads-up pot on a board of 6105Q, Shannan Roberts checked and Rodney Spriggs bet 7,500. Roberts called.

Roberts checked again on the 9 turn and Spriggs contemplated a bet size before putting out a single red 5,000-chip. "I don't want to be greedy," he said.

Roberts responded by check-raising all in for around 15,000 and Spriggs called. Roberts showed 55 for a set of fives to beat out the KQ of Spriggs.

"I was being greedy," Roberts said with a grin.

Daniel "Donk" Hughes
Daniel "Donk" Hughes

Daniel "Donk" Hughes has been running hot throughout Day 1a and his RunGood has continued as he was seen eliminating Brandon Nuss a few seats to his left.

The losing hand had been flipped and the board washed, but Hughes held AxKx and told the table that he had flopped his opponent dead.

"It's been a while since I've flopped somebody dead!" he remarked.
