Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

In one of the last hands of Level 2, Ryan Messick opened for 300 under the gun and Albert Riccobono called from the hijack. The players in the blinds came along and it was four-way action to the flop.

Both blinds checked, Messick continued for 800, and only Riccobono called to see the turn.

Messick bet again, this time 1,800, and Riccobono came along.

When the completed the board on the river, Messick upped his bet to 3,000 and this time it did the trick as Riccobono laid down his hand.

Former WSOP Main Event Champion in the House

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

There is a poker celebrity in the house here in the Parx Big Stax XXXII 1100 Championship.

In 2004, Greg Raymer became a poker household name after he bested a field of 2,576 players to win the World Series of Poker Main Event for $5 million. You might remember him defeating David Williams in heads-up play and competing at a final table that hosted such memorable faces as Josh Arieh and Dan Harrington. The "Singing Dutchman" Marcel Luske bubbled that final table finishing in 10th place for $373,000.

Raymer is looking to continue his hot start to 2020. In fact, it was just over a month ago that he topped a 520-entry field to win the Heartland Poker Tour East Chicago $1,650 Main Event for $171,411 and his record fifth HPT title.

Raymer, the 2012 HPT Player of the Year, was also a recent guest on the PokerNews Podcast, which you can listen to by clicking here.

Small One for Laieta

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

After a player limped under the gun, Chris Laieta raised to 400 from the button. The player in the small blind called, as did the limper, and it was three-way action to the flop.

Two checks saw Laieta continue for 500 and that did the trick as both his opponents released.

Not an exciting hand but indicative of the action here in Level 1 where the stacks are big and the blinds small with no ante.

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

Charles Maltzman opened for 300 under the gun and John Tavss and Robert Williams called from the small and big blinds respectively.

All three players checked the flop and two more checks on the turn saw Maltzman toss out a delayed continuation-bet of 300. He failed to shake either opponent though as they both called to see the river.
