All Eyes on Steicke
Bad Timing for Martin Comer
First, Comer raised from the cutoff to 2,050. Boatman was in the big blind and pushed all in for 13,250 after the small blind folded. Comer was unwilling to play for that price.
On the very next hand, Comer raised again, this time to 1,600. Boatman was in the small blind and reraised to 4,600. Comer called to a flop of . Boatman immediately moved all in for 13,575 and Comer called.

Comer:
Boatman's aces held up as blanks hit the turn and river. He moved to 37,500 in the counts.
"You should have called me last time," said Boatman. "I had nothing!"
McFadden Back
In the last hand McFadden moved his last 14,000 chips into the pot on the flop . With action on Daniel Kochan who took a few moments to think, smiled at McFadden and asked "Do you want a call?"
Before McFadden had a chance to answer Kochan tossed the call into the middle and McFadden answered by tabling for a set. It was well ahead of the held by Kochan.
With the board completing with the turn and river McFadden achieves the remarkable and rolls back ever closer to average stack, and looks set to progress through day one.
Rivered Set for Antonius
The board ran out a very dramatic to send Wong to the rail and Antonius up to 91,000 chips.
Pavlou Chips Up Through Saab
Four players limped up to see a flop. From there, Pavlou fired 700, and was raised to 1,700 by David Saab. Pavlou was the only player who made the call and they went to the turn.
The turn saw Pavlou check to Saab, who also checked behind. The river came the a scare card for Saab. Pavlou immediately fired 6,000 into Saab which sent him into the tank. After at least three minutes in the tank muttering to himself and trying to question a stoney faced Pavlou, Saab eventually made the call.
He was obviously shocked when Pavlou matter-of-factly said, "Quads" and tabled . Saab hastily mucked.
Saab drops to around 40,000. Pavlou joins him at around 40,000.
