Who Will Bite Into the Lemon?
Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Marvin Torres raised to 13,000 and then folded when Gary Citron jammed for 129,000 in the small blind.
One hand later, Tutu Russon raised to 20,000 and earned calls from Brett Toker as well as Josh Liebenthal. Citron moved all-in again and this time, Russon called while Toker and Liebenthal folded.
Tutu Russon: J♥J♦ 
Gary Citron: A♠J♣
"Give me an ace for the boom," Citron demanded and got his wish granted until the 8♠5♣4♦A♣ turn. The 9♦ river then let Toker sigh a "for fuck sake" as he mentioned in table chat to have folded pocket nines.
With now 17 players left, Day 1a is just one elimination away from the conclusion.
