McEathron Continues to Build

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

It's been a great hour for Canada's Ryan McEathron, who notched the first elimination of the day to pull out to an early chip lead, one that he just added to.

We picked up the action with approximately 1,000 in the pot and a board reading {10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}{a-Spades}. Italy's Virgilio di Cicco checked from the big blind and McEathron bet 600 from the cutoff. The Italian made the call and then checked once again on the {J-Hearts} river.

McEathron kept the pressure on with a bet of 900, and his opponent made a quick call. McEathron tabled the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for aces and deuces with a king kicker, and it was good as di Cicco flashed the {a-Hearts} before mucking his hand.
