Buffalo's Greg Sutton could not ask for a better start to today's tournament.

He's cracked kings twice, making a wheel and a set of eights. Plus, he made a straight to beat another player's set of threes.

Sutton is already over 40,000 in chips and in the early lead.

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Diana Piccioli has had nothing but good cards and a lot of luck to start the tournament.

She's picked up pocket aces twice, and although no once called her then, she did get most of two other players chips in a hand where she made a wheel.

It appears all this run-good runs in the family, as her son Bryan is the very same Bryan Piccioli that won the $1,100 No Limit Hold'em - Accumulator bracelet event at the World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific in 2013, collecting a $221,419 first-place prize.
