We walked up to a pot brewing between Victor Ramdin and a young player in Seat 1 whose face we don't recognize. The board read 
when we walked up, and there was about 14,000 in the pot already. Ramdin checked pensively, and his opponent stacked out a bet of 11,075 and dumped it across the line. Ramdin instantly called.
Seat 1 tabled 
for the set, and Ramdin could not beat it. He mucked, dropping to about 7,100 in the process.
In a raised pot, the flop was 
between Adam Levy and one other player. Levy was up first and checked before his opponent also checked.
The turn was the 
and Levy checked again. His opponent took a stab for 1,700 and Levy called to see the 
add a fourth diamond to the board on the river. Levy checked and his opponent checked.
Levy showed the 
for a pair of aces and his opponent mucked his hand. Levy moved back to 20,500 in chips by raking in this pot.
On a 
flop, a player in the blinds put out a bet of 700, drawing a raise to 2,025 from his heads-up opponent, Joseph Cheong. The bettor called the raise, bringing them to the 
turn. The blind checked to Cheong now, eventually calling a bet of 3,325 to see the 
river. Both men checked.
The gentleman in the blinds tabled 
for top pair with the ace, Cheong triple-checked his cards before returning them to the muck.
Cheong has dropped to 22,600 here in the early going.
Pat Walsh just doubled up when his pocket kings were able to spike against his opponent's pocket aces. Walsh flopped a king after all of the money went in preflop and he's now up to about 60,000 in chips.
With 5,200 in the middle, the flop was 
between Scott Montgomery and Victor Ramdin. Montgomery checked and Ramdin bet 2,000. Montgomery opted for the check-raise and made it 6,225 to go. Ramdin tanked for a minute and then gave it up.

Matt Waxman took a breather from eating his burger to raise to 300. Ali Eslami called blind from the big blind and the flop came down 
. Eslami checked, still having not looked at his hand, and Waxman bet 375. Eslami made the call.
The turn was the 
and Eslami checked again. Waxman bet 1,100 and now Eslami said he had to look at his hand. He squeezed and peeked, then made the call.
The river completed the board with the 
. With a pair of fives now on board, Eslami checked. Waxman bet 1,825 and Eslami came back with a check-raise to 6,825. Waxman called.
Eslami tabled the for trip fives and won the pot. Pretty good for not looking at his hand until the turn.
