$2,100 Updated Chip Counts

$2,100 Event is now heads up

Samuel Panzica (left) and Michael Harvey (right) play heads up

Michael Harvey was all in on a [5c][Qs][3d][2h] board holding [2s][2c] and was up against John Racener's [Ad][4c]. The turn card had given Michael a set, but unfortunately for him it gave John a straight. Michael begged for the dealer to pair the river, and the [3s] was just what he needed. The stacks were counted down, and John was left with just 60,000.

John was able to double up one or two times, but he eventually fell in 3rd place when his [8s][8h] lost to Samuel Panzica's [As][8c]. An ace hit the turn, and John will have to settle for a $50,820 payday, plus a $7,500 Bay 101 Shooting Star seat.

The remaining two will battle it out for the first place prize of $121,710, Second place will take home $83,180, while both players have already locked up a $7,500 Bay 101 Shooting Star seat as well.

Phil Hellmuth has taken his seat

Halfway through Level 7, Phil Hellmuth has finally arrived and taken his seat in this Main Event.

6th Place: Ty Reiman ($25,920)

Ty Reiman has been eliminated from the $2,100 Event when his pocket queens ran into the pocket aces of Michael Harvey. Ty will earn $25,920 for his efforts.

Main Event is now on dinner break

Players in Day 1A of the Main Event are now on a 1 hour dinner break. When they return at approximately 6:30pm PST, blinds will be 250/500 with a 75 ante.

$2,100 Chip Counts at Break

Danny Qatami was eliminated in 7th place for $21,530, leaving just six players in the $2,100 Event. Those six are now on break. As blinds head to 6,000/12,000 with a 2,000 ante, here are updated chip counts in seat order:

Ty Reiman - 598,000
John Racener - 503,000
Stuart Tuvey - 435,000
Zo Karim - 328,000
Samuel Panzica - 639,000
Michael Harvey - 519,000

Cate Hall gets lucky to triple up

Cate Hall was all in and was called in two spots. Mike Sexton had the most chips and held [As][Qs], and he was in the worst shape. Cate held [7s][7h] but was behind the third opponent's [Ah][Ad]. As the WPT cameras surrounded the table, the dealer put out the [Tc][7d][Td] flop, giving Cate a full house. The [Qc] gave Mike a chance at winning the pot, and Mike pointed out that he had more outs than the player with two aces. The [7c] hit the river to give Cate quads, and she will more than triple up her chips. Meanwhile, Mike will ship over a chunk of his chips to his opponent.

8th Place: Alex Greenblatt ($17,260)

Zo Karim has won another flip and has eliminated another player. This time it was Alex Greenblatt with [Ad][Qh] against Zo's [8s][8c]. The board ran out [2s][Jh][3d][Th][4d] to keep the eights in front. Alex will exit this tournament in 8th place, collecting $17,260 for his efforts.

9th Place: Bob Kumar ($12,930)

On one of the first hands of the final table, action folded to Zo Karim who moved all in, having Bob Kumar in the big blind covered. Bob made the call holding pocket eights, and it was a race against Zo's queen-ten. The flop was safe for Bob, but the turn gave Zo a gutshot broadway straight draw. That gutshot straight filled on the river, giving Zo the nuts and sending Bob to the rail in 9th place. He will collect $12,930 for his efforts.

Mike Sexton is in the action

Mike Sexton was on the button and had a bet out in front of him on a [Qs][Kd][6h] flop. His opponent made the call, and checked again when the [2h] hit the turn. Mike bet 6,000, prompting his opponent to go into the tank about his decision. He eventually elected to move all in, prompting Mike to talk the hand out loud. Eventually, Mike made the call, and his opponent showed him [Ac][Kc]. Mike was relieveed to see that as he flipped over his own [Ah][Kh], except Mike had a freeroll to win the whole pot. The [Tc] hit the river, however, and the two players would chop the pot.
