Main Event Short Deck

International pros Tom Dwan and Martin Nielsen have decided not to join the action as both were not spotted at the opening deal.

Martin Nielsen loses his second bullet to Gavin with T♥ T♣ outdrawn by Gavin's T♠ 8♠ flush on a board J♠ J♦ Q♠ K♠ 7♣ .

Having busted after the dinner break, Ivan Lirui Wang waits then jumps in during the last level of Day 1 play. He quickly gets all his chips in with K♦ K♥ then empties out to Yang Yang's A♠ K♠ flush on a board J♦ T♦ 6♠ 7♠ 9♠ .

A♠ he tosses in the next bullet ticket, Martin Nielsen re-enters and sits back where he started the day. Both Wang and Nielsen found themselves all in. Nielsen J♠ 9♠ and Wang A♦ Q♥ , the board K♠ K♣ 6♥ T♣ K♥ is good for Wang to double up and Nielsen now tossing in his next bullet card.

Martin Nielsen doubles up with A♣ Q♠ on a board 8♠ 10s K♣ 8♦ 8♣ . Big stacked Tao Zong paid up but we missed his hand.

Within minutes of the first deal Martin Nielsen ramps it up on a flop K♥ 8♠ T♣ with 19,500 already in the pot. Button Nielsen bets 33,500 and is called. On the river 6♥, Nielsen shoves and wins it uncontested.
