Winter Open

Event 1: Start-of-Day Leader Dianaty Takes a Hit, Shah Surrenders, Too

by

$350 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 17: 4,000/8,000/1,000 Ante

Anthony Dianaty has had a quiet Day 2 since starting with the chip lead. Still holding basically the stack he started with, Dianaty faced an early-position raise to 21,000 and called in late position. The flop came AsJd7c. The early-position player bet 25,000 and Dianaty called. The turn brought the 5s and the early position player checked. Dianaty bet 60,000 and the early position player promptly moved all in for 144,000. Dianaty folded and now sits with 500,000.

On a neighboring table, Sean Shah holds AdKd and has a lone opponent at risk with TcTh. The board runs out dry and Shah sends a double-up across the table.

Anthony Dianaty – 500,000 (62 bb)
Sean Shah – 319,000 (39 bb)

Players are now on their first break of the day. They’ll return to Level 18 and blinds of 5,000/10,000 with a 1,000 ante. The clock reads 54 remaining.
