1G: "Sorry in Advance"; Levesque Gets there on Oyekan to End Day, Players Bag
Caleb Levesque opened UTG to 25,000 and the action folded around to Arit Oyekan who moved all in for 118,000.
Levesque then went into the tank for a good while, counting out his chips.
"Well, I did it to myself, you're ahead," He said as he made the call to put Oyekan at risk.
"Sorry in advance," Levesque announced as he tabled 6♠3♠ against the T♠T♣ of Oyekan.
Sure enough, the flop of 4♠9♣5♣ gave him an open-ended straight draw for a big sweat. The turn 8♣ took away two of his outs as Oyekan picked up a flush draw, but that didn't matter as the 2♦ hit the river to give him a straight to eliminate Oyekan as the table erupted.
With this elimination, play has stopped in Day 1G and the players have bagged up as follows:
1. Matt Bond - 774,500
2. Hunter Thomas - 574,000
.3 Caleb Levesque - 376,000
