Notables Chipping Up Early Including Sgorrano

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Several players have chipped up to double the starting stack or even more early on in the day. One of those is Jerome Sgorrano.

Just now Sgorrano bet 2,600 on a {10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} board against Andre Akkari. The Brazilian eyed the bet and eventually called. Sgorrano showed {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for a set of eights and that was enough to win the pot, moving to within a whisker of 30,000 chips halfway through the second level of the day.
