Matias Scaffo opened with a raise to 300 from middle position. He was called by Georges Hajjar from the cutoff, Brett Trevillian on the button, and one more player from the small blind.
On the 
flop, action checked to Hajjar who put out a bet of 700. Trevillian called, as did the small blind and Scaffo.
The turn was the 
. Action checked to Hajjar again who put out a second bet, this time for 2,650. Trevillian called. The small blind folded, but Scaffo called.
On the 
river, Scaffo led out, putting in a small bet of 350. Hajjar raised, making it 3,050 and Trevillian folded. Thinking the hand was over, Hajjar went to turn over his cards. Apparently, Hajjar thought he was just calling Scaffo's bet, but he was wrong. Trevillian asked for a floor to be called over to rectify the situation and it was eventually decided that Hajjar would have to keep his bet of 3,050 in the pot. Scaffo eventually decided to call, but Hajjar showed him 
for trips and that earned a muck from Scaffo.
Despite his mistep, Hajjar took in the big pot and jumped up the counts early here on Day 1. Recent, Hajjar made the final table of the PokerStars Cup here in Uruguay, earning himself $5,000 after making a deal at the final table, and it looks as if his luck is already carrying over into today as well.

Andres Infante opened with a raise to 650. Action folded to Rodrigo Astorga who was in late position and he three-bet, making it 2,000 to go. Action folded back to Infante who called.
The flop came down 
and Infante checked to Astorga, who continued with a bet of 2,200. Infante called.
Both players then checked down on the turn and the 
river. Astorga showed 
for a pair of jacks, but it was no good as Infante had outflopped him with for a pair of aces. With that Infante scooped the pot and recovered some of his lost chips.
