On the river of a 
board, with about 15,000 in the middle, Joseph Elia faced an all in bet of worth around 8,000 from his heads up opponent. Elia gave it a little thought before making the call.
His opponent tabled the 
for just a pair of tens and Elia turned over the 
for two pair and sent his opponent to the rail.

Jeff Wells is off to a great start after busting two players in a hand. The dealer was quick to point out Wells' stack as we passed by and Wells informed us on what had transpired.
Wells had flopped a set of sevens and was able to get paid off by not one, but two opponents, besting a pair of sevens and a pocket pair of nines.

The first three levels are in the books and the players have been sent on a 10-minute break.
Tablemates of Russ Campanella may need to think twice before tangling with the early leader. Campanella has been on a tear and will make things happen with any two cards.
Campanella has disposed of multiple opponents thus far including knocking a player out holding five-deuce where he ultimately turned a boat and his opponent made a flush on the river.
