We pick up the action on the flop in a three-way pot over at Table 2. The board showed {4-Spades} {3-Hearts} {5-Clubs}, and there were 3,700 chips already piled in the middle of the table. First to act was Ernest Opena, and he checked. Eric "Rizen" Lynch put out a bet of 1,700, and both Taylor Bell and Opena called.

Fourth street brought the {10-Spades}. Opena again checked, allowing Lynch to bet 4,000. That was enough to fold Taylor Bell, but Opena flicked in an over-sized chip to make the call.

The river came the {J-Spades}, and both men checked. "I got aces," announced Rizen, tabling {A-Hearts} {A-Spades}. Opena double-checked his hole cards, flashed them to his neighbor at the table and mumbled, "I guess I should have gone broke that hand." After spinning them into the muck, the dealer pushed the pot to Eric Lynch, who has chipped his way up to 28,000 here in the early going.
