He Shoots... He Scores!

With the tournament still in the early stages, most players are still hovering around the starting stack, just building up or even falling way behind the average.

Not Darren Eiermann. The proud Long Islander is here today sporting his bright blue New York Rangers gear, and a quick scan of his chip stack shows he's been body checking the competition into submission like Mark Messier and Brian Leetch before him.

According to Eiermann, he has been on a tear to start the day, going top shelf with {A-}{A-} against an unfortunate opponent's {K-}{K-} to double up early on. He then hit the five hole hard with {Q-}{Q-} against {7-}{7-}. Both Eiermann and the man with the hand they call hockey sticks flopped sets, but Eiermann found a fourth queen on the turn for quads.

Eiermann now sits with triple the starting stack just three levels into the day, and he wanted to let his friends back home in Long Island know that he's off and running here in Atlantic City.
