After finding themselves delayed by the weather, the poker gods made an early appearance on Day 1A of the 2014 PCA, conjuring a rivered one-outer in the second level. And so the poker begins… PokerStars Blog caught up with the beneficiary.
Russell Crane bet 1,125 on the 
board, and Carter Gill made the call to see the 
land on the river. Crane fired a bet of 2,650, and Gill gave it up. This moved Crane up to 45,000 and dropped Gill back to 26,000.
