Event #1 | $175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 19 (Blinds 4,000/8,000/1,000) | Structure
Total Event #1 Entries: 958
Event #1 Players Remaining: 89

| Michael Tait (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) just became everyone's favorite player, as he eliminated Sean Shah and Scott Efron, to send the Event #1 field into the money. |
With play just two spots from the money, an unknown player would limp under-the-gun, with Sean Shah raising all-in (for 144,000) from middle position. The next three players released, with Michael Tait then re-shoving for over 540,000 (having the table covered). A short stacked Scott Efron would call-off from the big blind, and the hands would be tabled:
Tait: A♠ A♣
Shah: K♥ K♦
Efron: A♥ J♠
Runout: J♣ 6♥ 9♦ 7♠ 3♠
Unless something very special happened, Michael Tait was in line to burst the money bubble, pending his pocket aces held...which is exactly what they did. Shah and Efron would wait to see if any other players were eliminated in the same hand, but everyone else across the field stayed seated. Event #1 of the 2018 Battles At The Beach is now in the money, with everyone guaranteed at least $305.
Michael Tait: 825,000 (103bb)
Official results will be posted as each pay jump is reached.
