Late registration has closed on Day 1a with 234 entries. Considering all starting-day flights are playing down to 15% of the field (and ITM), it should be 35 player who make it through to Day 2. That number is yet to be confirmed by the officials, though.
Rickbinder Singh limped from the Cut-off. George Holmes made the call from the Small Blind before Mohammad Modaber checked his Big Blind.
All three contestants checked the 8♥9♣3♠ flop before Holmes bet 25,000 on the 4♣ turn. Modaber folded, but Singh fancied a raise to 50,000. Holmes made the call, and the two combatants then checked the K♦ river.
Singh tabled J♥9♠, which was enough to take down the pot. “Did I make the blog?” Singh asked this poker.pro live reporter. That is indeed now the case, and he’s now famous.
Rickbinder Singh: 1,000,000
George Holmes: 457,000
