The first two hands of the final table has gone to PokerStars Qualifier Daniel Laidlaw.
The action on the first hand started when play was folded to Hugh Cohen on the button. Cohen opened to 10,000 and Daniel Laidlaw made the call from the big blind, as a 
flop was dealt. Both players opted to check as the 
was dealt on the turn. Laidlaw would lead for 16,000 on this card and Cohen would make the call and watch as the 
fell on the river. Laidlaw continued the betting, this time firing out 34,000. When Cohen mucked his cards the first pot of the day went to Laidlaw.
The very next hand saw play fold to Marcel Schreiner on the button, where he made it 10,500 to go. Laidlaw was in the small blind and he three-bet to 30,000. It would be too strong for all the players as the first two pots of th day went to Laidlaw.
