Dennis Draws First Blood
After the first five minutes of the afternoon produced no hands of note, Jason Dennis has just taken down two back-to-back pots without showdown.
On the first hand, Justin Liberto opened to 160,000 on the button and Dennis defended. The flop came 
and Dennis checked. Liberto continuation-bet 100,000 and was met with a check-raise to 350,000, which he called.
Dennis continued for 800,000 on the turn 
and Liberto called again. The river fell 
and Dennis thought for over half a minute before announcing he was all in. Liberto folded.
The very next hand saw a single-raised pot go to 
, where both players put in 200,000 and the river came 
. Liberto bet 280,000 and Dennis once again announced he was all in. Liberto folded after about five seconds, and Dennis is off to a fast start.
