Reyes Bags 1A Chip Lead

After a grueling day of play, the first flight of the $300K GTD Multi-Flight Opener has finally come to a close.

David Carter went all-in from UTG+1 with blinds recently raised to 6,000/12,000/12,000. From the lojack, Marissa Hamed jammed over the top for slightly more. Action folded around and cards were on their backs.

Hamed: A♣K♦
Carter: Q♦J♦
Board: 7♠3♠2♣7♥9♠

Carter went unimproved on the middling runout and was eliminated in ninth place for $510. The remaining eight players began to verify their chip counts to bag up for the night. Players will return for Sunday's Day Two Restart but also have an opportunity to multi-bag.
