Jordan Morgan raised to 600 under-the-gun and was called by a middle position player, the cutoff and the big blind. The big blind checked dark and the flop fell Q107 and Morgan bet 1,100. The middle position player called and the other two players got out of the way.

Here’s the twitter pages of players who are still in contention.
We joined this hand in progress: On a board of 66310, Kent Washington called a 8,800 chip bet from the under-the-gun player. The river brought the 10 and Washington’s opponent bet a bit less this time, throwing out 8,500 into the middle. Washington tanked before calling the bet, which was more than half his remaining stack. His opponent tabled the AA for aces and tens. Washington mucked and was down to just 7,000.
Not too long after Washington moved all in for 6,100 with the K9 and was called by a player who held the A7. Washington failed to improve and was eliminated late on Day 1B.
Jordan Morgan Doubles Up an Opponent
We caught up with the action after Morgan had already mucked and was counting out about 12,000 chips to send over to an opponent who had pocket aces exposed on the felt. Morgan was on the button and apparently doubled up his opponent who was in the small blind. Morgan is now at 20,000 in chips.
Justin Marchand – 22,700
Stephen A. Murphy – 7,800
Big Hands:
Somerville Stumbles
Jason Somerville limped in from early position and Christian Klauser raised to 2,700. It folded back to Somerville who made it 6,000 to go. Klauser responded by moving all in for 20,000 and was called by Klauser. They were off to the races when Somerville showed AK and Klauser showed 99.
The flop was 5K7, putting Somerville in the lead, but when the turn was the 10 and the river was the 6, it gave Klauser a flush to win the pot and cripple Somerville to 9,000.
Terrance Chan Doubles Through Jordan Morgan
We caught up with the hand in progress and saw Jordan Morgan tossing in a few more chips and then trying to muck his hand when Terrance Chan showed pocket fives on a board of 9 7 5 4.
The dealer then correctly made sure that the hand was turned up and the table saw Morgan’s J7, giving him a pair of sevens, and no hope for winning the hand. Although we aren’t sure how the money go in, we are sure that Chan now has 18,000, while Morgan slipped to 13,000.
Aguiar Makes Full House and Stacks Chips
After a bit of a raising war preflop between Jon “FatalError” Aguiar and his opponent, they saw a flop of A23. They got the rest of the money in on the flop and Aguiar showed A2 and was ahead of the AJ.
The turn was the A and the river was the K. Aguiar took the pot and shot his stack up to 32,000 while knocking out his opponent.
Shaun Deeb was talking to a friend at the table and said “He doesn’t like to be recognized. Make sure you call him by his online name.”
Andrew Lichtenberger Eliminated
Andrew Lichtenberger open shipped for 2,300 with the 88 and was called by an opponent with the AQ. The flop came KQ10, giving Lichtenberger’s opponent middle pair. The pair of queens held and Lichtenberger was gone.
Eric Baldwin Wins a Nice Pot
Reigning Card PlayerPOY, Eric Baldwin (18,000 in chips), three-bet preflop with the 85. A player in early position made the call and both players saw a flop of J98. Action went check-check. The 5 hit the turn and action went check-check once again. The K fell on the river and Baldwin’s opponent once again checked. This time Baldwin fired out a bet of 4,200 and it was quickly called. Baldwin tabled two pair and his opponent mucked A-K. Baldwin is now at 25,000.
