Preliminaries All Preflop

Shamus

No flops on any of the three tables here in the early going, with all hands ending preflop with raises and/or reraises.

Eugene Katchalov just open-pushed all in from the small blind, and James St. Hilaire thought about it for a minute before letting it go. Katchalov has 375,000, and St. Hilaire 840,000.
