Just before play began, the tournament staff brought out the nearly $500,000 and the coveted WSOP Circuit Gold Ring that are up for grabs just to remind everyone what they're playing for.

Slow and Steady

Of the eight hands played thus far, only one has seen a flop. Preflop raises have been successfully winning the blinds and antes. Nicholas Manganaro took the only pot to see a flop when his lone opponent, Bernard Lee, folded to Manganaro's continuation bet.

Ron Koenemann Doubles Through Samuel Shamburg

Ron Koenemann raised to 18,000 from middle position. Action folded around to Samuel Shamburg in the big blind who moved all in. Shamburg had Koenemann covered so it was Koenemann at risk. He made the call and the players showed:

Koenemann: {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Shamburg: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Shamburg had Koenemann in a bad spot, but the flop of {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{7-Clubs} gave Koenemann outs. The {J-Clubs} on the turn was just what he needed to take the lead. The {Q-Diamonds} on the river helped neither player and Koenemann's flush was best. He doubled through Sam Shamburg.

Of the 20 hands seen thus far, only three have seen a flop. With the exception of the Koenemann double-up, we've yet to see a showdown or even a turn card.
