With still another 40 minutes left in the re-entry and late registration period, there are now 35 entries (including 5 re-entries) which means that the tournament has now surpassed the $6,000 guarantee!

On table 20, Ryan Garonce limped in under the gun and was joined by Martin Dyotte in the cut off position, only to see Diego Aguilar announce “pot.”  Both Garonce and Dyotte made the call.

The flop came and Garonce checked, followed by a bet of 7,500 by Dyotte. Aguilar then potted all-in, forcing Garonce to shake his head as he mumbled “really? On my first hand?”, which then resulted in a fold. Dyotte made the call, and right away Aguilar said “good call, I’m not that strong”!  Dyotte replied “me neither, but I think I am good”. The hands were opened:

Dyotte:
Aguilar:

Aguilar had a draw and Dyotte had top pair. The turn was the and the river was the , and the dealer shipped the pot to Dyotte. Aguilar was still left with chips but as this post was being written up, Aguilar was seen walking over to a cash table as he must have busted out a few hands later.

The first break of the evening is coming up shortly which will give us a chance to put together the first leaderboard of the evening.
