$10,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Set To Begin!

Welcome to PokerNews' Day 1 coverage of the Event #40: $10,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship.

Heads-up poker is a format with which the best players in the world are intimately familiar, having often spent hours honing their games against fellow elites online in both cash and sit-n-go formats. Additionally, they've all made plenty of deep runs in tournaments and often found themselves heads up for championships.

Plenty of heavy hitters are expected to enter the field, and last year, some big names found themselves going far in the event. Online legends Randy "nanonoko" Lew, Ben "Sauce123" Sulsky, Phil Galfond, and Justin Bonomo all made deep runs into the money, as did the one and only Phil Hellmuth. However, it was bracelet winner Mark Radoja topping the 162-player field and claiming the $331,190 first-place prize by beating Don Nguyen who then followed that performance up by also taking second in the $50,000 Poker Players' Championship.

The plan for Day 1 is to play four rounds, leaving only 16 players left by the end of the night. Be sure to tune in as we bring you all of the live updates right here on PokerNews.

Eight First-Round Matches

With 136 entrants, there will be eight matches in the first round. The winners of those eight matches will then join the 120 players who are receiving byes.

The 16 players who drew matches in the first round will get half of their buy-in back. In essence, they are each playing a $5,000 satellite to reach the second round.

We will have those matches for you shortly.

First-Round Matches

Here are the matches for the first round of Event #40. Please note that the bracket has not yet been determined. Once these eight matches have winners, the 128-player bracket will be set.

Jaka Gaining the Upper Hand

Nível 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

In a three-bet pot, Faraz Jaka bet 1,400 and was called by Cary Katz on a {q-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop. Both players then checked the {a-Diamonds} turn, and Jaka bet 2,400 on the {a-Clubs} river. Katz quickly folded, commenting that Jaka was "certainly expecting a call."

A few hands later, Jaka raised a Katz river bet to 5,200 with the board reading {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. Katz called, and Jaka showed {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for a straight, leaving Katz shaking his head.

Jaka Extends His Lead

Nível 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

Cary Katz raised to 400 on the button, Faraz Jaka three-bet to 1,300, and Katz called.

The flop came {2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Jaka continued for 1,000, Katz called, and the {8-Spades} fell on the turn. Jaka bet 2,000 this time and again Katz called. The river then brought the {3-Clubs}, and Jaka bet 3,800. Katz mulled it over for about 30 seconds before he called, but mucked when Jaka tabled {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}.

Brock Parker Defeats Jacob Baumgartner

Nível 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

Jacob Baumgartner has been the first player eliminated from the heads-up championship.

With the board reading {3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{5-Spades}, Baumgartner raised a Brock Parker bet to 5,500. Parker came back with 10,400, and Baumgartner pushed all in. Parker quickly called.

Parker: {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Baumgartner: {4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}

Baumgartner had flopped trips with two unders, but the turn gave Parker a nearly-unbeatable boat.

"Three," Baumgartner called hopefully, but the dealer peeled off the {10-Spades}. "Nice hand."

Baumgartner bumped fists with Parker after the dealer counted out about 26,000 in Baumgartner's stack, meaning Parker had him covered.
