We found Solange Lucas and Brian Court playing Flight B next to each other and they have something in common. Both players already locked up seats for Day 2 on Sunday but would like to improve their standing.

They each found a bag last night but are taking advantage of the best-stack-forward format today. If they run good today, their smaller bag will come out of play on Sunday and they will play their biggest stack.

Amato was in trouble with the smaller pair but flopped a set on the Jc5d2h board. His lead did not last long when Ristich made a set of sevens on the 7h turn. The river 4s finished the board and Amato was eliminated late in the day.

Miller Ristich – 80,500 (32 bb)
