Paggeot's Rush Ends Day 1a
The hand began when a player from middle position raised to 10,000 and was called by Corey Paggeot in the big blind.
The flop came 10♣5♦7♥, which led to a check from Paggeot. His opponent fired 10,000 and was called again.
Paggeot checked again on the 4♣ turn. His opponent bet out 25,000, and Paggeot responded with an all-in. His opponent called to be at risk after considerable thought.
Opponent: Q♥10♠
Corey Paggeot: 5♠4♦
Paggeot turned two pair, which was bad news for his opponent, who held top pair.
The 9♥ river did not change the state of the hand as Paggeot secured the knockout and ended Day 1a as the final 13 players remaining were permitted to bag and advance to Day 2.
