Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Hand #1: Thom Schultz opened the action with a raise to 16,000 in middle position and saw action fold around to Peter Nigh, who three-bet to 63,000 in the small blind.

"All in," responded Schultz as soon as the dealer announced the three-bet, and Nigh called just as quickly.

Thom Schultz: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Peter Nigh: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Schultz connected with the flop {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades} but picked up four more outs to sweat on the turn {9-Clubs}. The river {10-Spades} was safe and he scored the dub, leaving Nigh short in the process.

Hand #2: At the same time on the adjacent table, action folded to Chris Quackenbush in the small blind and he completed. Peter Johnson checked his option and the two went to a flop of {4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, where Quackenbush check-shoved for 91,000 over a bet of 10,000 from Johnson. After a while in the tank, Johnson found a call.

Chris Quackenbush: {j-}{j-}
Peter Johnson: {8-}{5-}

An eight on the turn gave Johnson trips, with no jack falling on the river to bring about Quackenbush's elimination from Day 1a in 18th place. As a result, Johnson now looks to have the largest stack in the room once more with the field being just two eliminations away from reaching an early end of the night.
