Anderson Gets Some Chips Back

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

Day 1a of the Main Event was off to a bad start for Calvin Anderson, who just earned some chips back. It started with an open-raise by Anderson from under the gun and Michael Johnson three-bet to 1,600, which was called by two opponents including Anderson. On the {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop, only Anderson check-called a bet worth 1,300 by Johnson and they checked the {4-Clubs} turn.

Anderson then announced a bet of 5,000 on the {3-Clubs} river and used his T-25,000 chip he had left over. Johnson called and mucked when Anderson revealed the {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for a full house.

The turn was the {6-Clubs}. Both players checked to the {10-Diamonds} river where they checked again.

Wentz showed the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} but Meran had that beat with the {j-}{j-} and collected the pot.

Geyer On Fire

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

A player in early position raised to 800. He was called by a player in middle position, Richard Geyer III in the cutoff, and both the blinds.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. The action checked to Geyer who threw out a bet of 3,000. He was called by the players in the small blind, early position, and middle position.

The action was checked to Geyer again when the turn brought the {4-Hearts}. Geyer sized up his bet to 12,000 to only be called by the player in middle position.

The {3-Clubs} completed the board. Geyer bet a third time for 13,000 when it was checked to him. His opponent took just a few seconds before he folded.

Boeken then led out for 1,800 and was called by Wang. Boeken turned over {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for a straight and Wang mucked his hand.

Nut Flush for Richardson

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

On a completed board of {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and with 5,700 in the pot, a big blind player had 6,000 chips committed and was facing a raise to 17,500 by Adam Richardson. The big blind thought about it and ultimately called.

Richardson showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for the nuts as his opponent sent his cards into the muck.

Thiesen Wins a Big Pot With Bottom Set

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

Joining the action on the {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} turn, the big blind made it 5,000 to go and Lewe Thiesen called from an early position. Another hefty bet worth 15,000 followed on the {q-Spades} river and Thiesen quickly called. He was shown the {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} for ace-high with the nut flush blocker, which he had beat with {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for the bottom set.

Royal Flush Sighting

Haim Gabay was spotted standing up and pulling out his phone to record before he tabled his hand and it was quickly apparent why as he tabled the {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} on a board of {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Clubs} for a flopped royal flush.

He did not get a ton of value from it as his opponent folded on the river but nevertheless, Gabay excitedly recorded the uber rare poker hand and collected his chips.

"What a normal table this is. Royal flushes, set over sets, slow rolls, pirates (in reference to Scotter Clark's attire)! It's amazing!" said tablemate Gabriel Andrade as Gabay took down the pot with a smile.

Quoss Wins With Top Pair

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

Eric Fields raised to 500 and Fabian Quoss called in the cutoff. David Schwartz raised to 1,500 and Fields reluctantly called, Quoss quickly tossed in a chip for the call as well. On the {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop, the action checked to Schwartz and he bet 2,100, forcing a fold from Fields and earning a check-raise to 6,500 from Quoss.

Schwartz called to then check behind the {a-Clubs} turn and he called Quoss' bet on the {6-Diamonds} river for 4,500. Quoss revealed {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for the top pair and that won the pot.

Liptow Makes A Good Fold

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

The action was found on the river {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds} with about 3,000 in the pot.

Cory Liptow was facing a bet of 2,500 from Albert Morrow and Liptow open-folded {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}.

"I put him on a jack," said Liptow to the table.

"You were correct," said Morrow.

Liptow, a ClubGG qualifier, has chipped up a little bit in the early moments of Day 1a.
