The ESPN Main Stage often gets overlooked on Day 1. After all, there are hundreds of tables spread across three rooms to follow, and the "mothership" contains just the one. With that said, we didn't want to ignore ten-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner and Poker Hall of Famer Doyle Brunson, who went to dinner with his daughter Pam and good friend Dewey Tomko.
We went to catch a hand with "Texas Dolly" but didn't find much. In the one hand we witnessed, four players, including Brunson, put in 900 each preflop to see a flop of . All four players checked and then three checks on the turn saw the button bet 1,500. The big blind folded and then Brunson did the same from early position. The hijack followed suit and the button won the pot.
Even after losing that small pot, Brunson is still sitting with a decent stack of 58,000.
There was a raise from the cutoff, a raise that Eugene Katchalov called from his seat in the big blind. Katchalov and his sole opponent watched on as the dealer put the flop into view. Katchalov checked, the cutoff bet 1,100 and Katchalov called.
The turn was the , which put three clubs out there and it paired the board. Katchlov led for 2,500 and his opponent dwelled on his options for a few moments before flicking his cards into the muck.
We caught a big pot brewing between three players, and watched as two all-bets of roughly 13,500 each were quickly called by Matthew "Hanks" Honig.
Showdown:
Honig:
Opponent #1:
Opponent #2:
With both of the all-in players holding big aces, Honig was in a highly advantageous position with his cowboys, and while the brought the table a decent sweat, the turn () and river () came clean to secure Honig two stacks in one fell swoop.
As we left the scene of the crime, professional player Joe Tehan jokingly asked his to improve our upcoming report by adding in the following caveat: Honig had just chipped up a few hands before by rivering Tehan out of a sizable pot.
Apparently, Honig held a dominated , as Tehan had , and the board ran out to give Honig a bit of momentum heading into his three-way dance against the two big aces.
We happened upon Table 399 to see the player in the hijack bet 1,500 into a pot of 4,700 with a board reading . Daniel Cates was contemplating what to do from the button and eventually settled on a raise to 4,800. The hijack only had 15,000 or so behind and opted to preserve his stack with a fold. With that, Cates is up to 109,000.
Meanwhile, Danny Illingworth and Clement Tripodi are also sitting with big stacks with 100,000 and 120,000 respectively.
