Event 11 (am): In the Money

$175 + $25 +$20 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)

Wilmar Gil (Tampa) breaks the bubble with AA against his opponent’s 55. He’s up to 210k and is tied with Wally Maddah (Tampa, FL) for the chip lead.

A look at the first players in the money:

Place-Name-Payout

11th Frank Cox $485.00
12th Dewey Petty $462.00
13th Michael Teichman $439.00

Championship Event: 14th Place, Alex Ivan – $4,741

$1,500 + $100 + $50 No Limit Hold’em Championship Event (Re-Entry)
Blinds: 5k/10k/1k ante

It went all downhill for Alex Ivan after winning a big pot earlier and his demise would come at the hand of Steve Diamantas when Ivan shoved with A-4 only to run into Steve and pocket Aces. Ivan finishes in what surely is a disappointing 14th place.

At the other table, Ryan Sponaugle found a double up courtesy of Robert Quintana in a blind vs blind confrontations that went well for Ryan and his Ace high.
