With a rather generous 15,000 starting stack, it's of no surprise that we haven't seen any early exits. I did spot a couple of smaller hands on my travels, however.

With the board reading {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

, Nik Lackovic bet 400 and Farhad Kia insta-called. Both checked the raggy river, Kia taking it down with {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

.

I also spotted Dmitriy Golovin betting 2,000 on the river of a {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{A-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

{6-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

board. Trevor Neufeld made the call and showed {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

, but was pipped on the turn by Golovin's {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{6-Spades}
