Loosey Goosey

Early action appears fast and furious inside the Merit Crystal Cove Tournament Room, as players seem to be taking full advantage of their 400 big blind starting stacks, seeing lots of flops and making some bigtime early bluffs.

In one such hand, Ioannis Anthanassiades fired at least two bullets (we caught up to the hand on the turn) holding {Q-Clubs}

at a

board; 1,000 on the turn and 5,000 on the river. He was looked up by Jazzar Moroun who tabled {8-Clubs}

for a rivered two pair.

The hand, while otherwise irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, just goes to show that these guys aren't messing around... 400 big blinds or not.
