The river improved Nguyen and she apologized, then let out an "oops." For Sabat it was the first bullet in the event and he will re-enter.

Roy Jams Once More

[user38873]

Nível 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Earlier today, Jonathan Roy was spotted jamming into Chino Rheem on the river and this time he got the job done preflop. A big stack had opened to 800 and Roy three-bet to 2,800. He then faced a reraise to 9,000 and moved all in, a snap-fold followed and the pot was shipped to Roy.

Luke Marsh has also chipped up. After his deep run in the $25,000 PokerStars NL Hold'em Players Championship (22nd place, for $150,600), the Brit is off to a great start again with more than two times the starting stack.
