Picking up the action on a {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop with four players in the pot, Brian Meek moved all in for 13,400. Chris Klodnicki was the lone caller.

Meek: {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Klodnicki: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The {9-Spades} turn and {8-Hearts} river weren't enough help to Meek, ending his Day 1a.

The following hand, Theo Tran opened to 1,800 in middle position and Klodnicki called from the next seat. The flop came down {K-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Tran bet 2,000. Klodnicki called to see the {Q-Hearts} turn which both players checked. The {Q-Spades} landed on the river and Tran bet 10,000. Klodnicki mulled it over for about 20 seconds before calling with {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, besting Tran's holdings.
