The opening level is rarely a hotbed for big hands, major eliminations or whirlwind poker action, but we were treated to a straight flush on Freddy Deeb's table.

On a {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

flop, Soren Blanner led out for 700 with {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

, his neghbor made it 1,800 and Blanner made the call. After both players had checked the Blanner-friendly {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

turn, Blanner fired out 2,000 on the {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

river, and was duly called. Funnily enough, his hand was good.

"Hey, I folded queens on the flop," declared a relieved Ola Brandborn.
