Live Team Starts Well

The early advantage around the tables is with the live team as they have started strongly, although it is still very early.

Players are starting with 5,000 chips with the blinds at 25/50.

Van Marcus is down to 1,200 in chips, without even getting to showdown against Michael Guzzardi, while Stewart Scott is keeping the pressure on Chris Evans who has slipped to 2,000 in chips very quickly.

Things started a little better for Dean Nyberg who picked up pocket kings first hand, and made a straight on the second hand, to gain the early lead over Ben Savage.
