We came to the table as the river was being dealt out, with Alex Masek heads up with his opponent. The board read 
, and Masek bet out 200 into a pot of about 700 after his opponent check. His opponent took little time in calling, and Masek showed 
for two pair. It was no good however, as his opponent showed 
for a better kicker. Masek lost the pot, and is down to about 18,000, which is still plenty healthy this early on.

Chris Summers and David Miscikowski may not be household names yet, but they do know a lot about each other's games. These two played plenty together in the WSOP-C Main Event at the Bicycle Casino in January. Both players fell just short of the final table glory, as Miscikowski finished 11th and Summers finished 10th. Well the two of them are here today and not only are they at the same starting table, but they are rubbing elbows sitting side by side! Both will surely be looking to top their performance in LA this time around, and we will be sure to keep an eye on them.

After a player limped in middle position, Jonas Mackoff raised his button to 200. Both of the players in the blinds called, as did the limper.
The flop was 
and action checked to Mackoff who continued for 450. The player in the small blind came along while the other two opponents folded. The turn was the 
and this time it was Mackoff's opponent who led for 525. Mackoff made the call.
The river was the 
and the player first to act fired out once again, this time for 1,125. It didn't take long for Mackoff to release his hand and drop down to under the starting stack.
