Little Reversal at the Top

Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
Cullen Dekker and Todd Guetta have swapped spots at the top after a recent heads-up pot between the two big stacks. We arrived at the table on the river with a completed 
board.
Dekker had bet 6,200 and Guetta was in the tank. After a few moments, Guetta made the call and Dekker announced "ace high." Guetta tabled the 
for a pair of kings and raked in the pot.

Reid Takes Early Lead
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Things escalated pretty quickly in a threeway pot between Canadian Colin Reid and two tablemates. After a player made it 600 preflop, Reid popped it up to 3,000, getting a call from the other player in the pot.
The original raiser moved all-in for around 10,000 sparking calls from both Reid and the three-bet flatter.

Three-bet Flatter: 
A huge cooler had Reid in great shape to take down a huge pot and after a 
run out, all the chips were pushed Reid's way.
Reid finished runner-up in this very event last spring. He's off to a good start to improve on that this time around.
