Bryn Kenney

The first player to bust after the end of the registration period was Yaqi Sun, who shoved for 148,000 with the {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and was called by Jason Koon with the {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}. The board came {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and Koon claimed the pot.

Alan Sass was all in with the {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} and Hui Ping Wan made a straight with the {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, Marius Torbergsen's hand ended up third best on a king-jack high board.

Andrew Robl made quads with {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} against the {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} of Torbergsen, the board came {Q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

Bryn Kenney played two hands of Short Deck Ante Only, he folded the first as Patrik Antonius got it in with {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and lost to {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. Then, Kenney moved tables and jammed {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} into the {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts} of {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{8-Spades}{J-Clubs}{6-Spades} and that was it for Kenney.

First Break of the Day

Level 9 : 0/0, 8,000 ante

It is difficult to sum up in words just how crazy the action has been over the last two hours, and especially the last level to register, but right now there is silence in the tournament area. That's mainly due to the fact that the players have been sent into the first 10-minute break and the registration will close when the cards get back in the air.

Right now there are 93 entries according to the screens!!!
