Limit Hold'em

Ralph Perry opened with a raise from the hijack seat and Ian Johns raised again from the cutoff. Action folded back around to Perry who just called.

The flop was {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Perry checked to John's who bet, and Perry called.

On the {A-Clubs} turn, Perry check-called another bet from Johns. He checked called a third bet on the {Q-Spades} river. John turned up his {A-Hearts}{A-Spades} for a full house and that would earn him the pot, chipping up to right around 270,000.

2-7 Triple Draw

Picking up the action after the first draw, Ian Johns bet from the hijack and he met a raise from Alexander Kostritsyn in the cutoff. Jared Bleznick was on the button and he called before Johns raised again, making it three bets. Kostritsyn called as did Bleznick.

Johns then stood pat and Kostritsyn stood pat as well.

"You guys are both pat?" Bleznick asked? The dealer nodded and Bleznick decided to take two.

Johns then bet and only Kostritsyn called. Both players stood pat once more then checked it down. Johns showed up his {8-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} for an eighty-five perfect and that allowed him to take down another big pot, pushing towards the 300,000 chip-mark early on Day 1.

Last night, Johns tweeted about winning a mega satellite into this event, and it looks as if his run good in continuing from there into the event itself.
