We have already had two of the players from last years final table make a big splash today. Jimmy Guenther and Gus Pasquella were involved in the pot of the day in which Guenther turned a royal flush. Another player who made the final table in last years championship has been flying a bit under […]
Day 1A saw a total of 341 entries and we are now down to just half the field with 170 players remaining. While there are a handful of players over the 100,000 chip mark it looks like only one is over 200,000. Not only is Debbie Yurga (Suit Up Poker League) over 200,000 but she […]
The under the gun player moves all in for his last 12,700 and it folds to Robyn Serlin on the button. Serlin makes the call and the blinds quickly get out of the way. The all in player shows 7♥7♣ but Serlin is in the lead as she turns over Q♠Q♦. The board runs out […]
