Tomer Maltese started this one and finished it big.

Maltese bet out 8,500 and Ben Ludlow moved all-in for his remaining 15,000. Joshua Neblett called taking he and Maltese to a flop. The board came out and Maltese moved all-in for his last 33,000. Neblett called and the cards were turned up and it turned out Maltese wasn’t kidding showing for a set of tens. Neblett was holding and Ludlow showed . Neither got any help the rest of the way and Maltese picked the side and main pots to move to 93,000 (31 bb).

33 players are still standing as Day 1B nears its conclusion here at the Venetian.
