There were three limpers before Pierre Gautreau shoved the small blind for 12,800. David Battaglia called from the big blind and one limper, Nate Olivencia, came over the top all in for 25,300 more.
It folded back to Battaglia and he called with the 
. It was the best hand with Gautreau holding the 
and Olivencia on the , but the 
flop changed that fast. The 
turn was a good one for Gautreau and the 
river was even better, making him a straight.
Gautreau tripled, Olivencia took the side pot with trips, and even though he finished third, Battaglia still ended the hand with the bigger stack of the three.

One of Western New York's top tournament players, with almost $670,000 in career live tournament earnings, Buffalo, NY's DJ Mackinnon knows his way around a typical tournament's starting day.
He jumped in here in the seventh level, but despite a meteoric rise to almost 70,000 in chips already, he said the action hasn't been too exciting.
"It's boring," he said, referring to the story of the hands he'd played that saw him chip up fast. "It's all boring on Day 1's."
Keeping up with the latest beefs on Poker Twitter seems to have grabbed a bit more of Mackinnon's attention today, as it does on most Day 1's, while he climbs the counts, preparing to do battle when things get really exciting on Day 2 Sunday.
