Upon returning from break, Jack Effel began two bracelet ceromonies.
The first was for Renji Mao, who won the $800 No-Limit Hold'em and the second was for Jim Collopy, who won the $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo Eight or Better.
The room filled with applause for each.
The players will take their first break of Day 1.
Rachel Hopper bet 5,500 from the big blind on a J♥5♥2♦ flop. Li Fang called all in for his remaining 2,400 from the cutoff, and Pedro Velasco called from the button.
When the 6♠ peeled off on the turn, Hopper moved all in and Velasco called.
Rachel Hopper: Q♥7♦5♠3♥
Pedro Velasco: A♦J♦K♠3♠
Li Fang: 9♦5♦5♣6♣
Fang's trip fives led for the main pot, and Velasco's jacks led Hopper's pair of fives with a straight draw. The Q♦ river gave Hopper two pair to take the side pot.
A total of three players were all in preflop; early position had 9,400 left from their starting stack, middle position had 9,400, and Todd Hatch put them both at risk with a dominating stack.
Early Position: A♥K♥K♦Q♣
Middle Position: A♦A♣9♥4♥
Todd Hatch: 6♦6♠7♥4♦
Middle Position was ahead preflop with a big pair, but Hatch had plenty of boards that could favor him. This ended up being the case when the flop fell, 10♣6♣8x, flopping Hatch a set. The turn brought a 9x, which had the early position player rooting for a jack to make a straight and the middle position player needed an ace to pull ahead.
The river paired the board with the 10♦ and Hatch was awarded the pot.
Hatch can also be credited with the title of this post.
"Tiny House" Tom Ulch led out 3,000 from the small blind on an action flop of J♣Q♦10♣ and Martin Carnero called.
Ulch ceded the lead on a 2♦ turn, and Carnero bet 1,000. Ulch checked again when the river came 9♥, and Carnero moved all in, covering Ulch. Ulch grimaced and folded.
"Nice hand," said another player at the table.
"Yeah, nice hand, you b*****d," said Ulch, then paused before saying, "I mean that in the nicest possible way."
"Don't worry," replied Carnero. "It's a long day. We will be able to talk as much sh*t as we want."
