Lingenfelder Jumps Above Half a Million

Christian Zetzsche

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Guppie Lingenfelder raised preflop to pick up two callers but only Keegan Pillay called a bet of 11,500 by Lingenfelder on the K♥7♠4♥ flop. On the 9♠ turn, Lingenfelder bet another 24,000 to earn a call and emptied the clip with a third barrel for 56,000 on the 6♦ river.

Pillay went into a brief tank and folded. Lingenfelder first flashed the A♠ and then mashed his two cards once more, also showing the A♥ as well.

Kalil Wins Pot Off Appel

Christian Zetzsche

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Gareth Kalil raised it up preflop for Hennie Appel to call from two seats over. They checked the 8♦8♣3♥ flop before Kalil bet the 6♥ turn for 11,000 and the Q♠ river for 24,000. Appel called the first bet and reluctantly folded to the final bet.

Other players teased Kalil in showing his cards and he revealed the Q♥ only.

Van Eeden Doubles Through Kotsikaris

Christian Zetzsche

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Kosta Kotsikaris raised to 12,000 and was called by Lagen Zackey in the cutoff. Tony van Eeden then jammed for 60,000 in the small blind and Koutsikaris started some table chat. "Do you want the call?" he asked before realising that Zackey was still in the hand and instantly apologizing.

The call by Kotsikaris followed after one time bank vanished and Zackey folded.

Tony van Eeden: 8♦8♥ All in
Kosta Kotsikaris: 5♣5♠

Van Eeden had the superior pair and improved to a full house on the 9♠4♣3♥8♠4♥ runout.

Player	Chips	Progress
Lagen Zackey	235,000 40,000	40,000
Tony van Eeden	135,000 135,000	135,000

Leon G More Than Doubles

Christian Zetzsche

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Four players limped in and David Ng then raised to 24,000 in the big blind. Only Leon G called with a short stack behind and the K♥9♥2♥ flop was checked by both players. Ng bet the 9♦ turn small and folded to a shove, shrugging and remarking "I have nothing".

By picking up the other limped chips, Leon G more than doubled in the hand.

In the meanwhile, there were two other eliminations to reduce the field to the last 29 players with 24 of them set to advance.

Player	Chips	Progress
Leon G	91,000 -19,000	-19,000
David Ng	55,000 -95,000	-95,000

Elizabeth Eliminated but Will Return for Day 2

Christian Zetzsche

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Shannon Elizabeth had defended her big blind off a short stack and flopped second pair on 10♥7♥4♣ with the Q♣7♦. However, the K♥Q♥ of Mathew OrdHume got there when the board completed with the 4♠ turn and 8♥ river to end her run.

She can still enter Day 1d but also has chips from Day 1a at her disposal. The attempt to run up a bigger stack was however not successful.

Feature Table Rotation

Christian Zetzsche

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Shannon Elizabeth lost a big pot just before the end of the live stream table change and returned to the outer tables with fewer than the starting stack. In the meanwhile, Guppie Lingenfelder has become one of the current chip leaders.

Player	Chips	Progress
Benjamin Lingenfelder	415,000 325,000	325,000
Keegan Pillay	285,000 -45,000	-45,000

Final Break of the Night for Day 1c

Christian Zetzsche

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Only 33 players remain upon completion of level 12 on Day 1c, all vying for one of the 24 top spots to secure their seat for Day 2. They have been sent on a scheduled 15-minute break during which the feature table line-up will change.

In the meanwhile, Day 1d has returned from the first break for level five with 48 players out of 59 entries remaining. This has basically reached the guarantee and the late registration remains open for another three hours.

Corront Eliminated by Stegers

Christian Zetzsche

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

The cards of Merwan Corront were already dragged into the muck and the Frenchman left the table after his remaining short stack was sent over to Joseph Stegers.

On a board of 7♣5♠4♦4♥A♣, the A♥Q♥ of Stegers were good enough to score the knockout.
