Andriy Kovalchuk moved all in preflop and DJ Alexander shoved for more while the rest of the table got out of the way.
Kovalchuk: [Jc10s]
Alexander: [AcKc]
Kovalchuk would need to improve to stay alive, but the flop of [AsAd6d] did not help one bit. The turn [8d] left him stone dead and the river [Jd] just added insult to injury as Kovalchuk hit the rail while Alexander raked in the pot.
Alexander - 110,000
With 159 entries in Day 1E, 20 will make the money and 13 will advance to Day 2.
After shoving for the fifth time in a row, Phu Vo was finally called by Joel Grunberger to put him at risk.
Vo: [4h4d]
Grunberger: [QcJd]
No Queens or jacks came on the board, but the runout of [10d3h10c5s5d] gave Grunberger the win with tens and fives, queen kicker versus the four-kicker of Vo to send hi to the rail.
Grunberger - 160,000
