Seat Open

We're under ten minutes into the first level here and already the call of "Seat Open" has been heard nearly every minute. In fact, players are busting so fast there's already a line five or six deep at the payouts table.

Alex Jacob Doubles Early

With the board reading {7-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {K-Clubs} Alex Jacob committed the last of his 17,000 chips and Matthew Bucaric made the call. Jacob showed {5-Clubs} {6-Clubs} for the flush and Bucaric mucked his cards even before the {Q-Spades} fell on the river. That double-up puts Jacob at around 60,000.

Dustin Dirksen Doubles

After a {7-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {9-Spades} flop Dustin Dirksen and Dan Deveau got all the money in the middle, with Dirksen's {10-Clubs} {6-Clubs} needing help against Deveau's {A-Clubs} {9-Hearts}. The {J-Hearts} didn't supply that help but the {10-Diamonds} on the river did, and Dirksen doubled up to 90,000.

John Ferguson Cripples Garrick Lau

John Ferguson raised on the button and Garrick Lau called in the big blind. Both players checked the {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {A-Clubs} flop but when the {6-Clubs} turned Lau bet 10,000, Ferguson raised 20,000 more, and Lau called. The river brought the {4-Hearts} and when Lau moved all in Ferguson called. John held an ace that beat the ten in Lau's and and Ferguson scooped a pot that gave him 63,000. Lau was left with just 2,700 and was eliminated a few hands later.
