Level 9 Concludes; Kuether's Domination Continues
Level 9 of Day 2a/b of the 2014 World Series of Poker has come to a close! Players are currently taking their final 20-minute break of the evening. When they return from this break, they will play one more two-hour level before bagging and tagging for the evening
Joe Kuether continued his domination this level, working his chip stack above the 400k mark. Our Live Reporting team caught up to find Kuether scoop a sizable pot with a flush to bring his stack to this point. Other big stacks heading into the break belong to Curtis Rystadt, Munir Shahin and start-of-day chip leader Martin Jacobson. Jacobson crossed the 300,000 mark roughly halfway through the level after hitting two pair with king-jack.
Annette Obrestad took a particularly gross beat just after the dinner break, getting her money in with a flopped straight against David Farber. Farber hit running cards to make a full house and sent Obrestad packing.
Other eliminations during this level include: David Gorr, Brian Meinders, Aaron Johnson, and David Sklansky.
