Matt Affleck
Matt Affleck

Matt Affleck won a nice pot in the very first hand of the tournament. On a {6-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop, Affleck checked from the big blind, and after his opponent bet 150 he check-raised to 450. His opponent called, then after the {4-Hearts} turn, Afflect checked again and called a bet worth 800 from his opponent.

Both players checked on the {q-Diamonds} river. Matt tabled {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} for a full house and started chipping up right away.

On a {k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop, Brian Reinert check-called a bet of 400 against a single opponent and the turn brought the {8-Spades}. Both players checked and Reinert bet 850 on the {q-Clubs} river. His opponent folded and Reinert showed {k-Hearts}{q-Spades} for a rivered two pair.

Meanwhile, in the Pavilion room, Martin Jacobson opened from the small blind and the big blind called. The flop came {6-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and both players checked. The 2014 Main Event champion bet 200 on the {j-Spades} turn and his opponent called. Jacobson then bet 600 on the {4-Spades} river and this time his opponent let his hand go into the muck.
