Early Elimination
Level 1
: 25/25, 0 ante
As a result of the small (3,000) starting stacks, it isn't surprising to see players taking risks early.
With the board reading 
a player had bet 1,100 and Brian Wong pushed all in. The other player looked almost sick while deciding if he was willing to put the rest of his chips into the pot. He eventually made the call and found that his 
for a flopped set had been bested by Wong's 
for a turned straight. The river brought the 
and Wong sent the other player to the rail.
After the hand Wong's stack was up to around 6,300.
Duhamel Off to a Good Start
Level 1
: 25/25, 0 ante
On a 
board, Jonathan Duhamel checked and his opponent bet 800. Duhamel min-raised to 1,600 and his opponent folded.
The very next hand, Duhamel raised from under the gun to 75. The same opponent from the previous hand was next to act and made it 200. It was folded back around to Duhamel who put the player all in and the opponent made the call. Duhamel showed 
and had his opponent who held 
crushed. The board ran out 
as Duhamel chipped up to 6,500 while his opponent hit the rail.
Selbst Playing "Conservatively"
Level 1
: 25/25, 0 ante
When we caught up with the action, Vanessa Selbst, who was in the big blind, was facing a bet by the small blind with the board reading 
. Selbst stated "I'm gonna play conservatively here" before making the call.
The other player revealed his 
for a pair of aces while Selbst flipped over the for a flush.
"Wow, that is conservative," said the player holding ace-three. Selbst replied with "I thought you had a flush too."
After the hand Selbst's stack was around 5,000.
