Quick Start

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

With re-entry options limited now to just the start of play on Day 2 and only for those who haven't re-entered already, odds are that this second Day 1 flight would play a little slower than the first.

But at least one player has some different plans. We caught Alan Thomas check-calling a 450 chip bet from his heads up opponent on a {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop. He then check min-raised another 450 chip bet on the {5-Diamonds} turn and went as far as to check-shove facing an 1,850 bet from his opponent after the {k-Clubs} river fell.

His opponent folded and Thomas is off to about as fast a start as one could expect here at WSOPC Choctaw.
