Mark Jackson and Burke Delange had gotten all their chips in the middle preflop, with Jackson being at risk.
Mark Jackson: A?A?
Burke Delange: KxKx
The board ran out an insignificant 10?5?10?2?7? and Jackson doubled up, while Delange was left with only a few chips.
However, once the hand was finished, he noticed that his stack was not what it should be. The floor was called over and it was figured out that Delange accidentally received the 1,000 in blinds and antes at the end of the hand. The situation was rectified and play continued.
The turn read 7?6?5?Q? and Kevin Oharra check-called a bet of 8,000 from his opponent.
The 10? landed on the river, and Oharra took the lead, firing 10,000 into the middle. His opponent tossed in two reds to match the bet and Oharra tabled A?J? for a flush on the river before his opponent mucked his hand.
Tyler Walker opened from the cutoff to 1,100 and called when Bradley McCarter three-bet to 3,500 in the small blind.
On J?Q?9?, McCarter bet another 2,500, then checked after Walker called. Walker decided not to check the 8? turn, but to add 7,000 chips to the pot. McCarter check-called.
The 8? landed on the river, and Walker bet 10,000. McCarter quickly called and flipped K?K?. But his kings weren't enough, as Walker had 9?9? for a set hit on the flop that became a full house on the river.
Patrik Antonius just recently joined the field and was heads-up from under the gun against a player in middle position on a 4?4?5? flop.
Antonius checked to his opponent, who bet 1,800. Antonius then check-raised to 5,500 and, undeterred, his opponent re-raised to 12,500. Antonius called.
Both players checked on the 8? turn, but then Antonius bet a paltry 3,000 when the 8? completed the board. His opponent thought better of it and folded — conceding the pot to the high-stakes cash game specialist.
Erich Gmur and Amanda Botfeld had reached the turn on 10?7?6?2?. The pot already amounted to 17,000 when Gmur added another 6,000 to that from early position. Botfield was sitting in the next seat over and made it 20,000 to go.
This sent Gmur into a tank of several minutes, eventually coming up with a call. The river then fell the 5? and both players quickly checked.
Gmur was first to show and tabled 10?9?, but Botfeld had him outkicked with J?10?.
"I wanted you to fold!" Botfeld exclaimed in a relieved manner. She grabbed the chip lead in her section of the Horseshoe Convention Center as Day 1b cruises along.
Cole Ferraro opened to 1,000 in the cutoff and was called by the big blind. The flop came Q?10?5? and the action checked through to the 3? on the turn and the 6? on the river. Ferraro thought about betting the river but opted to just check it back. The big blind tabled 5?4? but Ferraro held A?6? for the better of the two pairs.
Hands #2-4:
Ferraro took a break and folded three hands in a row.
Hand #5:
Ferraro raised to 1,000 in early position and the big blind just called. The flop fell 8?7?7? and the big blind check-called a bet of 800 from Ferraro. The turn was the 8? and both players checked to the 8? on the river. Ferraro made another bet of 2,000 on the river and his opponent called. Ferraro tabled A?Q? while his opponent held A?K?, both playing the full house on the board.
Hands #6-7:
Ferraro laid down his next two hands, including his big blind.
Hand #8:
The action folded around to Ferraro in the small blind who made it 1,200 to go. Gerald Cohen called in the big blind and the dealer fanned the flop of 10?9?3?. Ferraro led out with a bet of 1,400 and Cohen dumped his cards to the muck.
Hand #9:
It folded around to Ferraro on the button but he also let his hand go and let the blinds fight it out. It was a profitable orbit for the young 22-year-old who won his first WSOP gold bracelet last year and is hoping to make a deep run in this year's Main Event to record his second straight cash in the biggest tournament in the world.
Rick Salomon raised 800 in middle position and he was called by both Jeff Fenster and the big blind.
The flop came A?9?3? and once the big blind checked, Salomon bet 1,500. Only Fenster called.
The 7? hit the turn and Salomon continued for 2,000 and Fenster called so quickly it almost beat Salomon's chips in the pot.
The 8? completed the board and Salomon slowed down with a check. Fenster bet 5,000 and Salomon instantly called. Fenster tabled A?10? but it was no good as Salomon out-kicked him with A?Q?.
The following hand, Joshua Whitson raised 1,200 under the gun and Rick Salomon three-bet 5,000 from a couple of spots to his left. The table folded around to Whitson and he made the call.
The dealer fanned a flop of 9?6?3? and Whitson check-called a bet of 5,000.
The 4? turn and the A? river were checked down and Whitson tabled J?J? before Salomon mucked his hand.
