Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Norman Moncrief raised to 400 from under the gun, and John Renzi promptly three-bet to 1,400 as next to act. Ryan McCarroll made the call in the big blind, and Moncrief came along to the 6♥4♣K♣ flop.

McCarroll and Moncrief checked to Renzi, who continued for 600. McCarroll folded before Moncrief check-raised to 1,500.

Renzi called to the K♥ turn, where both players checked. Moncrief then led out for 3,000 on the 5♦ river, and Renzi thought it over before sliding his cards to the dealer.

"I wouldn't lie to you," Moncrief said as he showed the K♦ while raking in the pot.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Anthony Calabrese raised to 400 from under the gun, finding a call from Jason Rivkin in the cutoff.

Calabrese continued for 800 on the 5♠5♣8♥ flop, and Rivkin called to see the 9♣ turn. Calabrese slid out a bet of 2,500, and Rivkin replied with a raise to 9,500.

After taking some time, Calabrese tossed his cards into the muck and Rivkin collected the pot.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Walter Euken opened to 300 in the cutoff, and Frank Kent defended his big blind to the 2♥3♣7♣ flop.

Kent led out for 600, and Euken made the call. The Q♦ turn saw Kent check, and Euken fired a 1,000 chip into the middle.

That was enough to claim an early pot, as Kent let his hand go.
