Geir Hanssen kicked the hand off with a raise to 500 from under the gun at his six-handed table. The next player folded, but the very active Kevin Campbell re-raised to 1,300 in total from the cutoff. Paul van t Veer called form the button and Hanssen made the call, too.
Hanssen checked on the flop and Campbell stepped up with a 1,600 bet. van t Veer quickly raised to 5,300, which prompted a fold from Hanssen.
"You've got the flush draw, right?" asked Campbell.
van t Veer didn't answer him but did say, "You don't have the ace!"
"I wouldn't have bet the ace," said Campbell with a smile on his face.
A few seconds later, Campbell's cards were in the muck and van t Veer collected the pot.
A huge hand just went down over on Table 10 that has seen Kevin Campbell climb past the 50,000 chip barrier.
Kamil Dubik limped in from late position, the cutoff and button folded, but Campbell raised to 1,100 from the small blind. Dubik called and it was heads up to the flop. Campbell fired a bet of 900 and Dubik instantly called.
The turn saw similar action, Campbell increasing his bet size to 2,200 and Dubik beating him into the pot with a call.
"You don't like folding?" quizzed Campbell before the dealer laid the onto the river.
"Twenty thousand," said Campbell as he tossed four green 5,000 chips into the pot.
Dubik shrugged and called, turning over for a full house, a full house that was an expensive second-best hand because Campbell held for a higher boat.
"Very unlucky," said the talkative Campbell as he raked in the massive pot, going on to say to the player next to him that he was dreading being raised on the turn.
We've spotted the Swedish Unibet sponsored pro Dan Glimne in today's field, he's sat over on Table 3 in the less that perfect nine-seat. Glimne is regular on the Unibet Open tour and is one to watch here in Glasgow.
Peter Harkes tapped the table and checked with the flop reading and Chris Jonat wasted little time in betting 300. Harkes sat with his hand over his mouth, only moving to check-raise to 800, a bet that Jonat snap-called.
The turn brought the into view and Harkes greeted it with a 1,650 bet. Jonat placed two blue 1,000 denomination chips onto the felt and called.
The landed on the river and Harkes paused for almost 30 seconds before leading out with bet of 3,700. Jonat removed the hat from his head and flicked his cards into the muck.
As you'd expect from a tournament held in Glasgow, today's field has a significant number of Scottish players competing in it. Two such Scotsman are quite well-known out of their native country thanks to their ability to accumulate chips and make a nuisance of themselves at the poker tables.
Richard Milne is one of this aforementioned duo. Milne has more than $512,000 in live tournament winnings and is often seen grinding in the European Poker Tour events.
The other is Paul McTaggart. Known as "BobaFett" in online poker circles where he has more than $1.2 million in cashes, McTaggart has a solid record in Scotland with 11 recorded cashes to his name including several outright victories.
We'll keep an eye on these two players as the tournament progresses.
Kevin Campbell opened to 300 from under the gun and after one player folded, Mikkel Lorentzen three-bet to 1,000. This raise folded out the rest of the table until the action was back on Campbell.
Campbell picked up some chips and set the price to play at 2,700. Lorentzen glanced at the nearby tournament clock, paused for around 15 second before releasing his hand into the muck.
