Keagan Forced In

Today is the day for Jeffrey Knowling versus Keagan Cheatwood and hand-for-hand on the money bubble was no different.

With Nowling in the UTG+1 he open jammed for 55,500 on 2,500/5,000/5,000. Cheatwood flatted behind him and action folded around. Nowling was at risk but dominating Cheatwood, A♦K♦ versus A♥J♦.

The flop of Q♦T♣7♣ changed Cheatwood's outs from any jack to any king. The 4♥ hit the turn and the A♣ completed the board to secure Nowling's double up. Cheatwood was left with 10,000.

The first hand after break, Cheatwood found himself forced all in with 4,000 going to the big blind ante and 6,000 posted for his big blind.

There was a late position limp before Nowling jammed out of the small blind. The limper folded out and Nowling tabled a monster with Q♠Q♦. Cheatwood hadn't looked at his cards yet so the whole table got to sweat together as he turned over A♣J♦. Fair fight.

Fair fight until Nowling spiked a set on the A♦Q♥5♥ flop. Cheatwood turned a broadway draw with the K♦ but bricked out on the 7♠ river. Bubble burst.

All remaining players have secured $280. The top 13 players will bag up and return tomorrow for the day 2 restart.

Jeffrey Nowling 160,000
