Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Scott Dulaney opened to 15,000 from the cutoff and was called by Ben Lamb on the button and Cary Katz defended from the big blind.

The flop came out Q♦3♠10♥ and Katz checked to Dulaney who continued for 25,000 but then Lamb raised him to 100,000. Katz quickly got out of the way while Dulaney and Lamb got it all in, with Dulaney at risk.

Scott Dulaney: A♥A♠6♠6♥
Ben Lamb: K♥Q♠10♠10♦

Dulaney would need a lot of help to catch up to Lamb's set of tens, but the runout of 5♣9♦ was not his friend and the recent bracelet winner was sent to the rail.

Cary Katz	745,000 45,000	45,000

Lee Goes Runner Runner

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action folded to Eugene Lee on the button who opened to 22,000. The small blind folded and action was on [Removed:422] in the big blind who announced "pot" to the tune of 65,000. Lee thought for a moment and called.

The J♣5♠5♦ flop landed and Soyirgaz put in the last 70,000 chips he had behind. Lee thought it over and eventually "F*** it" was announced as he tossed in the last few chips.

[Removed:422]: A♥A♠K♥2♦
Eugene Lee: Q♥J♦9♣4♥

"I guess I can hit a jack." Lee said as the dealer burned and turned the 10♣ giving him more outs to a straight. The 8♠ landed on the river and Lee had hit his straight sending Soyirgaz to the rail early in Day 2.

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Arthur Morris was "moved" to a table with big stack Brandon Adams and recalled a hand in which he lost a large three-way pot with a flopped set of kings against a set of nines that went runner runner flush before then coming up empty-handed shortly after. He was forced to re-enter and tripled up almost immediately with A♦10♠10x8x against Ryan McKnight and another opponent.
