Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

Stephen Chidwick opened to 600 in the small blind, and Eitan Borreda defended from the big blind.

Chidwick continued with a bet of 1,200 on a flop reading and Borreda quickly folded, sending one of the first pots of the day in the direction of the one-time bracelet winner.
