Hsiung Dealt a Made Hand

Georgios Sotiropoulos raised under the gun and was three-bet by Kenny Hsiung one seat over. Action folded back around to Sotiropoulos who called.

On the initial draw Sotiropoulos took two cards while Hsiung stood pat. Sotiropoulos then check-called a bet from Hsiung.

The second draw saw Sotiropoulos take one card and Hsiung again decline to draw. Another check from the Greek was met by a second bet from Hsiung. Sotiropoulos called.

This same drawing pattern was repeated on the final draw and for a third time Sotiropoulos checked to Hsiung, who fired off another bet. Sotiropoulos wasted little time deciding to release his hand and Hsiung revealed that he had been dealt an eight-six, to which one player said, "what a rush!". Given that Hsiung started the day with just 32,000, his Day 2 has, up to this point, been something of a rush.

Elsewhere Allen Kessler was seen departing the tournament area.
