On a heads-up turn of K♠Q♥10♦4♠, Jeff Platt led out for 27,000 and Rommel Damasco made the call to see the J♥ fall on the river.
"Seven thousand," Platt announced as he tossed out the bet into the pot close to 100,000. Damsasco rolled his eyes and shook his head, but tossed in a call nonetheless.
Platt then rolled over 8♠9♠ for the bottom end of the straight on the river and Damasco checked it twice before he shook his head again and tossed in his hand to award Platt the pot.
There are currently 34 players remaining in Day 1b and with 29 advancing, this means they are only a few spots away from the money/bag bubble!

After a preflop betting war, Baljinder Bhupal and Adam Curchack got all of the chips into the middle, with Bhupal at risk.
Baljinder Bhupal: K♦K♣
Adam Curchack: Q♥Q♦
Although Bhupal had the best of it going into this battle, the flop of Q♠3♥2♣ was not his friend as it immediately gave Curchack the advantage with top set of queens.
Bhupal failed to improve on the 5♣J♣ runout and he was eliminated while Curchack scooped the big pot.
"Gotta get lucky in this game," someone commented, to which Curchack nodded enthusiastically.
