Both Theo Tran and another opponent committed 200 preflop to see a 
flop.
Both players checked to see the 
land on the turn and Tran faced with a 300-chip bet.
Tran then bumped it up to 700 and his opponent made the call as the 
fell on the river.
Tran's 525-chip bet was check-called by his opponent as Tran tabled his 
for a flopped set to take down another pot and virtually double to 3,400 in chips.
Facing a raise to 75, Kenny Nguyen three-bet from the button to 300, only to have the original raiser four-ball it back; making it 1,375.

The turn and river landed the 
and to see Nguyen hit the rail for an early exit.
The floor was just called over to Jonathan Aguiar's table. Apparently a hand had been dealt, and a player in early position had entered the pot before it was discovered one of the late position players had only been dealt a single card.
The floor came over and explained that unfortunately the player's hand was dead. "He can't play one card?" asked another player, eliciting a few chuckles. "No, you need two," was the response.
Another player in late position came in, and ultimately it was three to the flop, including Aguiar from the big blind. The flop came 
, and all three checked. The turn was the . Aguiar bet 50 and got one caller. The river was the . Aguiar checked, his opponent bet 100, and Aguiar let it go. Aguiar has about 2,700 at present.
"Your one card wasn't an ace was it?" asked the player who'd earlier queried the TD. "A deuce," was the reply.
"Man! I got knocked out set over set in the first level!" uttered a player over the phone to someone.
He then went on to explain the exact details of the hand - that at times were inaudible - but we seemed to get the gist of it.
He called on the button. He bet and was called. He bet and was raised, and then called. He was then all in on the river and lost.
That's poker!
Three players, including Valdemar Kwaysser, saw a flop of

Kwaysser showed 
for kings, but his opponent tabled 
for two pair and took the pot. Kwaysser slips to 1,900 as we approach the end of Level 1.

With 575 in the pot, Chris Moneymaker fired out 325 after it was checked to him by two opponents on a flop of 
.
The first passed, but the second raised it enough to put Moneymaker all in. The 2005 WSOP Champion obliged for his last 825 and we were off to a showdown.
Moneymaker: 
Opponent: 
Unfortunately for Moneymaker he would be drawing dead when the 
landed on the turn before the meaningless peeled on the river.
"Good luck everyone!" he uttered as he quietly left the table.
On a board reading 
, Nam Le checked the action over to his opponent who fired out 400.
Le made the call as the landed on the river and Le took the lead by firing out just 100.
His opponent quickly looked him up tabling his to best Le's 
as he slipped to 1,700 in chips.
Shortly after that last hand in which Nam Le slipped to 1,700, he was involved in another in which he (big blind) and another player (early position) had begun to build a pot preflop. The flop then came 
, and the pair got the rest of Le's chips in.
Le held for a diamond draw while his opponent had 
. No diamond, ace, or king came to save Le, and he became an early elimination.
