8 Max Survivor 2K Bounty to ITM ($1,000)

Ankit Wadhawan fired a 36,000 three bet against an utg open and saw Raffaele Sorrentino click back to 75,000 on the button. Wadhawan responded with an all-in for 238,000 (40 BB), snap called by Sorrentino with the ladies.

A crucial flip, Wadhawan paired up his overcards on board J♣ 3♦ 8♣ K♣ 8♥ , shipping the 80 big blind pot his way as well as the overall lead across Day 1A.

On the next deal, Vishal Ojha opened utg and was once again met with an all-in, this time from Raffaele Sorrentino for 153,000 (25 BB). Ojha put in the call, in search of a bounty token.

Board 9♦ T♥ Q♥ A♥ Q♣ however, ran a boat for Sorrentino, costing Ojha yet another chunk off his stack.

Fresh off his win at yesterday's Championship Warm Up, Martin Sedlak is seen back on the grind at today's Day 1A 8 Max Survivor games, attempting to secure a spot into the Day 2 rounds.

Sedlak defended his big blind against Raffaele Sorrentino's 2,000 cutoff open, and check called another 3,500 on flop 7♠ 4♦ 2♦ . On turn 5♣ , Sedlak went ahead and led 2,800, enough to get Sorrentino out of the way.
