Ryan Riess

On a board reading {a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}, Ryan Riess checked from late position and his opponent on the button bet 120,000. Riess wasted no time and called.

The river was the {10-Hearts}. Riess checked again, and the button immediately fired out a bet of 225,000. Riess grabbed some chips in his hand, looking like he was about to call, and said, "I don't beat much. I can beat ace queen."

After about a minute, Riess called. The button promptly mucked his cards and Riess scooped the pot. He now sits on almost double the starting stack early in the day!

Isabelle Tremblay's Aces Get Cracked

Level 3 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Isabelle Tremblay, a former NASCAR driver, is here at the Playground Poker Club vying for the first place prize of CA$1,000,000. Since retiring from the NASCAR scene, Tremblay has taken up a new profession on the felts of poker tables.

Tremblay raised from under-the-gun to 24,000 and received three callers. When the dealer spread the flop of {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, Tremblay fired 75,000 and both players in the small blind and big blind positions called.

The turn landed the {3-Diamonds} and the small blind checked. The big blind moved all in for his remaining 160,000. Tremblay announced call and the small blind would fold. Tremblay tabled {A-Hearts}{A-Spades} for top set, but was in bad shape when her opponent showed {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a flush.

The river was the {6-Hearts}, providing no help to Tremblay as her chip stack dwindles.

Harpreet Gill Doubles Up!

Level 3 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Harpreet Gill found himself facing a bet from his opponent of 130,000 on the turn. The board read {K-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} with nearly 150,000 in the pot already. Gill decided to make the call and the two players saw a turn.

When the {Q-Clubs} landed his opponent checked, and Gill moved all in for 760,000. His opponent quickly made the call and Gill was slightly worried. Much to his delight he was way ahead of his opponent.

Gill - {K-Spades}{4-Spades}
Opponent - {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The river was a meaningless {9-Diamonds} and Gill got a full double up and now sits among the chip leaders in the room. Look for Gill to use his big stack to apply pressure to his opponents and continue to increase his lead.

Here is a look at some other big stacks from around the room:

Updated Counts; Anthony Zinno and Sorel Mizzi Hop In

Level 3 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Ace-King No Good vs. Ace-King!

Level 3 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Hamidreza Kamali raised to 30,000 from late position. Ryan Yu was in the cutoff and three-bet to 101,000. Action came back on Kamali and he moved all in for 282,000. Yu called.

Kamali table {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and Yu tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}. It looked like it was going to be a chop until the flop came {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, giving Kamali the nut flush draw.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and the river was the {6-Hearts} and Kamali made his flush, avoiding the chop with Yu.
