Day 1A: Queen-Duey Doubles Mendez
Short-stacked Briongos Mendez moved all in preflop for his last 25,000 and was called by Billy Johnson to put him at risk.
"Agh, you got me," Mendez said as he flipped over Q♦2♥ and was shown A♠7♣ by Johnson.
Fortunately for Mendez, he managed to hit a deuce on the flop 2♠5♣10♠ and then locked up the hand with another 2♣ on the turn! The board completed with the 8♣ and Mendez was shipped the pot for the double.
Mendez - 61,000
Johnson - 22,000
