Delaney and Karamalikis Done

Already shortstacked, the Delaney and Karamalikis shipped their stack into the middle with a set. The only problem was that one of their opponents was sitting on a bigger set. They were eliminated from the tournament after failing to improve.

Khalil and Neilson Chip Up

Ali "The Peppermint Hippo" Khalil and Daniel Neilson have given their chip stack a boost at the expense of another team.

Three players took a {9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop. One of the teams fired out 1,000, while one of the other teams got out the way. Khalil made the call and it went heads up to the turn. The turn {8-Spades} saw the other team lead 1,000, and Khalil come over the top all in. The other team made the call and tabled {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for middle pair, a flush draw and a gutshot straight draw.

With his opponent having a lot of outs, Khalil's {8-Diamonds}{q-Spades} certainly wasn't home. However, the river blanked the {6-Spades}, shipping the 15,800 pot to his team.

Garp and Lundmark Make Good Start

Tobias "Fabregarp" Garp and Kent Lundmark have made a good start to the day. They currently have 15,000 in chips, despite losing a 12,000 chip pot just before the break, which left them with 6,000 after they ran {A-?}{a-?} into {Q-?}{q-?} and the opposing team spiked a {Q-?}.

With Garp in control, they have steadily accumulated chips and are seeming confident about their chances in today's event.

Re-Buy Cards

Players apparently have the option to bring the extra 5,000 chips into play at any time up to the end of level two. Some teams have opted to bring their full stack in straight away, while others are sitting on the rebuy card, hoping to save it till the end of the level and "shortstack" the tournament.

Delaney and Karamalikis Take Early Hit

With Ben Delaney in the game, the Delaney and Karamalikis team has taken a hit to their chip stack. Another player opened to 300 and Delaney came over the top for 1,200. The other player came right back over the top moving all in. Delaney made the call and tabled {a-Spades}{k-Spades}, his opponent in very good shape rolling over {A-Hearts}{a-Clubs}.

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{k-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, leaving the Delaney team with 1,300 in chips. Delaney promptly brought the teams full stack into play by using the rebuy card and boosting them to 6,300.

First Change

No casualties to report in the first level, as teams now change. All teams are now playing a little deeper as their full stacks of 10,000 are now in play.

Six Tables

With the breaking of some of the shorter handed tables, the event has been merged together to form six tables. Registration is still open and the event may draw a few more pairs ready to challenge for the title.
