There was over 50,000 in the pot, and the flop read AQ10 when the small blind bet 47,000. Mira Felice called from the hijack, and Jesse Yaginuma folded on the button.

The turn fell 8, the small blind moved all in, and Felice called to cover. The two players then flipped over their cards.

Felice: KJ
Small Blind: 88

River: 4

Felice had flopped the Broadway straight, so that was it for her opponent. When you’re hot you’re hot, and thus Felice increased her chip lead to 745,000.

Play continued hand-for-hand on the bubble to attempt to end play for Day 1B after that. Play will conclude when one more player is lost, and the remaining 20 will advance to Day 2 on Sunday.

Mira Felice – 745,000 (93 bb)
