Stanfield Scores Early Knockout
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
It didn't take long for Jon Stanfield to score the first knockout of the RGPS Grand Prix $800 Main Event when he got entangled in a hand early as the two players got into a bidding war preflop.
Stanfield and his opponent escalated the situation to play for keeps as the players got the chips in preflop after a series of raises with his opponent at risk for his tournament life.
Opponent: J♦J♥
Jon Stanfield: K♦K♠
Stanfield received welcoming news as the flop fanned out K♥5♠9♠ to put Stanfield well ahead of his opponent. The inconsequential 8♣ and 3♠ completed the board as Stanfield enjoyed an early boon in the opening minutes of the main event.
