Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Benjamin Hamnett sat down next to Gigi Menes and Ka Kwan Lau, while Huidong Go took a seat one table over. And then there was also Pierre Calamusa, who entered the competition in level one.

In one of the first few hands, Calamusa was facing a raise to 250 by the hijack and three-bet to 850 while eating an apple. The opponent eventually folded {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} and Calamus revealed his {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}, pointing to the middle of the table while simply saying "queen."
