Balsiger the Bully

Jake Balsiger just arrived here in the gold section of the Brasilia Room and he's already making his presence felt on the felt.

After a limp under the gun and a limp from the cutoff, Balsiger raised to 275 from the button. Both blinds folded quickly, while the player under the gun thought for a good minute before letting his hand go. The player in the cutoff thought for a bit too before also releasing her hand.

Balsiger is down a few hundred from starting stack already, but we can expect to see him stir up some action here on day one.
