Early Action

[user75032]

In the first ten minutes of the day, we've had two showdowns already. On Table 56, Christina Lindley managed to double up her exceedingly short stack to a somewhat less short stack.

A few minutes later Eric Blair and David Paredes played a pot over on Table 60. Blair bet 75,000 on a flop of {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{j-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

. Paredes, sitting in position, called to the {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

turn. Both players checked. Blair checked again on the {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

river, then called a bet of 125,000 from Paredes. Paredes tabled {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

for a pair of jacks, which was enough to take down the pot.
