Event 1 (Day 1B): Losing Lutz...Ng Remains

Level 15 (Blinds 1,200/2,400/300)
Total Day 1B Entries: 150
Day 1B Players Remaining: 32

Kevin Lutz (Bellmawr, NJ) was one of the shorter stacks remaining, and when he got his final chips in pre, he wasn't in the best of shape.  He held K♠ 8♠ up against K♣ Q♠, but the flop would change things dramatically (3 8♣ 10).  Lutz grabbed a pretty strong hold on the hand, but the drama would rise when the J♠ hit the turn (giving his opponent more outs to a straight).  Lutz's night would be over when the A hit the river, and he would be left to tell the story to friend Eric Rivkin seated in tonight's satellite.

With the loss of Lia Lyongs, Elaine Ng remains the only female player in the field.  She currently has a stack less than 20 bigs, leaving her some work to do during the final (45) minutes.
