First Hand
Level 26

The first hand has been completed and it resulted in Ramzi Jelassi getting a walk in the big blind. Hopefully, this is not a sign of things to come!
Warrington Three-Bets Jelassi
Level 26
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
From the cutoff and first to act, Ramzi Jelassi opened to 80,000. Next to act was the British pro Ben Warrington on the button and he three-bet to 200,000. Both blinds folded, which is exactly what Jelassi did.
Jelassi will not be able to boss the table as much as he would like today, as Warrington — a very talented player — will put up plenty of resistance.
Plauski Passes 5MM Chips
Aleh Plauski has narrowed the gap between him and Ramzi Jelassi thanks to winning a substantial pot from Mark Herm.
The action passed around to Herm in the small blind and he opened the betting with a raise to 95,000. Plauski called and it was heads-up to the 
flop. Herm tested the waters with a continuation-bet of 95,000 and Plauski called.
The turn saw the 
come into play and Herm kept up his story by betting 165,000. Plauski was going nowhere and he called again. The 
river put a fourth club on the board and it slowed down Herm, who checked. Plauski double checked his cards and checked behind.

Plauski won the hand with his pair of jacks, the Belarus national was ahead in the hand from the word go.

Herm in More Bother
Mark Herm's start to the day has gotten even worse after he lost another pot to drop to below a million chips.
He raised from the cut-off and David Boyaciyan defended his big blind to see a 
flop. Both players checked to 
turn where Herm's delayed 105,00 c-bet was check-raised up to 230,000 by the Dutchman. Herm called and then faced a 350,000 bet on the 
river. The American tank-folded.
