Nearby, Jackie Liu’s opens are getting pressed. Here she calls a short shove from Judah Balin after a light HJ open of A7o. Balin fades her ace with two tens.

…then K3 decides to lay the pressure, but Liu will make the call, turn over nines and hold.

Event 1E: Dobrilovic Gets In (Again) Under the Wire

POSTED BY: kaelaine

|CATEGORY: 2018, Event 1, Event 1 (Day 1E)

$540+$60 Deep Stack NLH
$2 Million Guaranteed

Level 13:  Blinds 1,000/2,000/300 ante
Total A-E Entries:  3,095
1E Entries:   1,446

We were scratching our heads over the last-minute entries into this flight.  During the break, the entry count increased by eight and we were wondering who would register for Flight E with Flight F starting in a few minutes.

Those 8 players sat down with 25,000 chips, giving them only 12.5 big blinds to work with.  My question was answered by none other than Tom Dobrilovic, who sat down to his fresh stack on table 14, two seats to the right of Johannes Mueller’s big stack.

“Why?” was the question and Tom responded that he didn’t want to be here playing until 2:30am (when Flight F will wrap up) after playing all day.  He’s got his work cut out for him if he’s going to get chips in a bag in Flight E.

On lucky table 13, Josh Lassiter has surpassed Andrew Kim, with just about 400,000.
