Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Nick Alafogiannis, from nearby Toronto, Canada, was one of four players to see a {2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, but the only caller when Marcy Jo Phillips bet 1,000 into it.

The turn brought the {10-Hearts} and another bet from Phillips. This time it was 2,200 and Alafogiannis called again. The river card was the {6-Diamonds} and it didn't slow down Phillips at all.

She led out for 4,000, but Alafogiannis had other plans, clicking it back to 8,000 total. Phillips called, but mucked when Alafogiannis showed {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for the flopped full house.

He's now up among the early leaders with a better than 50,000-chip stack.
