Tomovic Takes a Seat; Nikiel Off to a Good Start
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Aleksandar Tomovic, a Serbian poker pro with nearly $350,000 in live tournament earnings, has taken his seat to the right of Rafal Nikiel. He sat down just in time to witness Nikiel rake in the first large pot of the day.
Anatoliy Zyrin raised to 400 on the button and was called by Seyed Zadeh in the small blind and Nikiel in the big blind. The flop came 
and Zadeh checked. Nikiel led out for 700 and Zyrin raised to 2,100. Zadeh folded and Nikiel called to see the 
on the turn.
Nikiel checked and Zyrin checked behind as the 
completed the board. Nikiel fired 3,500 into the middle and Zyrin tossed his cards to the muck sending the pot to Nikiel.
