Kempe Off to a Fast Start

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Rainer Kempe made the final table of this event a year ago and is already looking like a force in this tournament after getting a double-up on Level 3.

Kempe was on the button and all in for his last 57,300 against an opponent in the big blind. The small blind, who called Kempe's original raise before the big blind shoved, thought about the decision for a moment before folding.

Rainer Kempe: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Big Blind: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

"No pair versus pair. I know which one is going to win," Daniel Negreanu said after both players turned over their hands. The board ran out {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{q-Spades}, no help to the big blind, and Kempe dragged in the pot.

Ivey In the Mix

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

A player in late position opened to 700 and Phil Ivey three-bet to 3,000 on the button. The blinds got out of the way to send the action back to the late position player who, after some thought, opted to call.

On the {2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop the late position player checked to Ivey, who continued for 2,000. That bet was not enough to shed his opponent, who made the call.

The late position player checked for a second time on the {j-Clubs} turn and Ivey, in no mood to slow down, fired off 3,400. His opponent reluctantly folded, tossing her {a-}{q-} holding face up into the middle and saying "nice hand" to send the small pot the ten time bracelet winner's way.

Saout Collects Schutten's Bounty

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante
Brek Schutten
Brek Schutten

Brek Schutten was facing a raise to 15,000 from Antoine Saout on a flop of {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} before he moved all in for his last 33,000. Saout snap-called.

Schutten showed {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} and needed to hold up against Saout's {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a flush draw. The {k-Clubs} on the turn was safe, but the {k-Diamonds} on the river completed Saout's flush and sent Schutten to the rail early on Day 1.

Lee Holds to Double

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Jangkyu Lee moved all in for his last 27,000 on a flop of {8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and an opponent in the big blind called.

Jangkyu Lee: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Opponent: {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Lee needed to dodge a flush draw to stay alive in the tournament and began chanting for a spade as the turn came the {q-Clubs}. The river was a harmless {5-Diamonds} and Lee secured the early double up.

Cheong Left Short

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante
Joseph Cheong
Joseph Cheong

Picking up the action on the turn, Joseph Cheong out of the small blind was involved in a pot with a player in early position. With the board reading {q-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}, both players were all in with Cheong having the covering stack.

Early Position Player: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Joseph Cheong: {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}

The flop had contained something of a cooler and Cheong looked set to become a big stack early in the day. It was not to be, however, as the {q-Spades} rolled off on the river, giving Cheong's opponent the superior full house and the pot.

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

Andrew Lichtenberger raised to 1,700 from the button before current Player of the Year front-runner Daniel Zack re-raised to 4,200 in the blinds.

Lichtenberger called and they saw a flop of {j-Spades}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. Zack threw out an orange 5,000 chip, announcing a bet of 4,800, and Lichtenberger quickly gave up his hand.

Chris Moorman has taken a seat at this table, while his wife Katie Lindsay is sitting one table over.

Foxen Continues Early Aggression

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

Alex Foxen opened to 600 from under the gun and was called by a player in the cutoff.

Foxen checked on a flop of {8-Spades}{j-Hearts}{6-Spades} and then raised to 3,000 after his opponent led out for 800. That was raise was enough to elicit an instant muck from the cutoff player and keep Foxen chipping up early in the day.
