Language First to Fall on Day 1a
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Mariette Language limped in and then faced a raise to 1,500 and the squeeze to 3,700 by Kyle van Blerk. She moved all-in with a shorter stack and van Blerk snap-called.
Mariette Language: 6♥6♠
Kyle van Blerk: A♦A♠
There was no miracle escape on the 7♠4♣2♠J♥5♣ runout and Language became the first casualty on Day 1a. Soon after, Darryll Shaff was also sent to the rail as 37 players out of 39 entries remain.
