Day 1a Star Meranda Falls Early

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

In a three-bet pot with just over 10,000 in the pot, Day 1a star Anthony Meranda, who was under the gun, was battling with Arthur Dore.

Meranda check-called bets of 4,400 and 19,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read K♠9♥7♠4♦J♥.

Meranda, with around 50,000 behind, checked for a third time, and Dore put him all-in for his tournament life.

Meranda, a TikTok influencer, flicked in a chip to call and tabled KxQx for a pair of kings. However, Dore had 9♣7♣ for nines and sevens and scored the bust-out.
