Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
A healthy pot of around 16,000 chips was already brewing in the opening level with Michael Briggs and Steven Rochin heads-up on the turn. The board read 6♣4♠2♣3♥ and Briggs shipped all in as the bigger stack. Rochin wasted little time before calling off his stack of 18,100 and the cards were tabled.
Steven Rochin: 10♠10♦
Michael Briggs: A♦6♥
Briggs flopped top pair but it was Rochin who was in the lead with his overpair. The river was the K♦ and Rochin held on for a double up, leaving Briggs with just a few big blinds.
Briggs was eliminated on the next hand and instantly hit up the registration desk for a second bullet.
