"That's what happens when you're the first to bust," one player joked.
The flop fell 
. Josephy led out for 1,600 from the small blind, the player in the big blind folded, and both Jaffe and Stern called. The turn was the , Josephy checked, and Jaffe fired 4,200.

It didn't take long for the first double of the day, which came just 20 minutes into Level 1. That's quite the feat considering players start with a 50,000 starting stack and the blinds are just 100/200 with a 25 ante. Even so, Brian Lemke and Jonathan Jaffe managed to get it all in preflop.
Now you might expect to see two big hands in a spot like that, perhaps aces versus kings, but that wasn't exactly the case. Lemke, who was all in and at risk for 49,975, did in fact hold the 
, but Jaffe held the mediocre 
. We're not sure of the betting, but the fact remained the chips got in preflop.
The 
flop gave Lemke hit a set, and the 
turn left Jaffe drawing dead. The meaningless 
was put out on the river for good measure, and a rather calm Lemke raked in the pot. Meanwhile, Jaffe was left with just 2,700 and was eliminated a few hands later.

David Peters sat down at Table 5 and in his very first hand opted to raise to 525 from early position. The raise cleared the field all the way around to Dwyte Pilgrim in the small blind, he called, and the two saw a slop of 
.
Pilgrim proceeded to check-call a bet of 800, and the both players checked the 
turn and river. Pilgrim tabled the 
for two pair, and it was good as Peters gently flicked his cards to the muck.
