With his bags packed a little heavier than usual, Jimmy “gobboboy” Fricke can now start looking for a flight to make his move to Vegas official. Jimmy has all his clothes packed up and is making the move to Nevada, with a brief stop in Niagara Falls to play the tournament here. Early on day 1 he ran pocket aces into a player that had flopped two pair. The chips went in on the turn and with no help on the river Jimmy left the building to make the final plans for his move to Sin City.

Alec “traheho” Torelli (left) is probably going to be on the same flight back to Vegas, with his elimination coming within moments of Fricke’s. Again, Torelli’s overpair to the board fell to a flopped two pair.

After the completion of the second level the players are all on break, none with bigger smiles than Noah “fouruhaters” Schwartz. After a flop of Q-T-4 Noah had to think he was in good shape with a set of tens, but after another ten on the turn he had all but a lock on the hand. When the chips went in Noah saw he was up against another huge hand, a flopped set of queens turned into top full house on the turn. The player with queens was left with only 1 out on the river, and when it didn’t hit Noah was able to cold deck his way into a large pot and continue to pile up chips.
