A Big Pot in the Early Going

Players started today's event with 4,500 hundred in chips, so it can be a little surprising to see someone commit half their stack before the flop.

That's exactly what happened at Andy Bloch's table though where three players, including Andy, limped in before the small blind raised to 500. When the big blind re-raised to 2,200, everyone folded except the small blind, who made the call and checked dark before a flop of {9-Clubs}

.

When the big blind instantly shoved, the small blind showed {A-?}

and mucked.
