Mohamad El Rais opened for 1,200 from the cutoff and Renn Pfeiffer called from the big blind. The flop was 8A5 and El Rais called a 1,100 bet from Pfeiffer. Both players checked the 8 turn and the 7 river before Pfeiffer turned over A10 to take the pot with a pair of aces.

On the next hand, El Rais raised again to 1,200. Lewis Grabowski called from the button and the blinds got out of the way before a flop of 528. Both players checked the flop and the 10 turn to see 7 on the river. El Rais fired a bet of 1,100 and Grabowski gave it up.

Meanwhile, Sam Greenwood is at the same table and he has chipped up to well over 100K in the opening rounds of the day. Additionally, PokerStars Ambassador Sam Grafton has taken his seat across from Greenwood.
