Day 1a of Event #3 is now complete with 14 players now waiting for Day 2. Brad Bishop leads the way with the only 1a stack more than 500k, while Lap Chi Duong isn’t far behind.
Razvan Radu bagged the smallest stack tonight, but he got there after a huge spot blind on blind. Andy Truong open-shoved the small blind with Radu on about 4 bigs. Radu looked down at pocket aces and snapped it off. He was well ahead of the queen-nine for Truong, and a couple of aces on the board gave Radu the double up with quad aces.
