It didn't take long for the first double of the day, which came just 20 minutes into Level 1. That's quite the feat considering players start with a 50,000 starting stack and the blinds are just 100/200 with a 25 ante. Even so, Brian Lemke and Jonathan Jaffe managed to get it all in preflop.

, but Jaffe held the mediocre ![]()

The ![]()
![]()
flop gave Lemke hit a set, and the
