Lam Doubles Through Oya in Massive Pot

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Picking up the action on a flop of {k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{k-Hearts}, Alex Epstein bet 2,300 from the button before Masashi Oya raised to 5,300 in the big blind.

Aaron Lam then made it 16,500 from middle position and Epstein called. Oya then moved all in and Lam quickly called for his last 129,000. "That's what I get for three-betting the button," Epstein said as he folded, saying he had pocket tens.

Lam showed {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for the flopped full house, while Oya had {k-Spades}{8-Clubs} for trip kings. The board ran out {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and Lam doubled up in a 275,000-chip pot, leaving Oya, who began the day with more than 140,000, on crumbs just 30 minutes in.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Jannalla Wadlington limped under the gun and Todd Dimartino raised to 1,800. Jeremy Barron called in the small blind and so did Wadlington.

Both checked on the {k-Clubs} turn and Wadlington bet 5,000 when the river showed a {8-Spades}. Dimartino quickly mucked his hand and Wadlington added the chips to her stack.

Lumni Zhuta raised to 2,000 in early position and Mehdi Daruwala three-bet to 6,000 in the hijack. Kenneth Cleeton was in the big blind and made the call, followed by a call from Zhuta.

The action checked through to the {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and Cleeton led out for 13,000. Zhuta quickly folded but Darawala took some time, looking unsure of what to do, and eventually decided to toss his cards into the middle.

After the hand, Cleeton told PokerNews he had queens full of jacks.

Spitale Gets Full Value

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

On a completed board of {k-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{a-Spades}{3-Spades}, Quang Vu led out for 11,000 into his heads-up opponent, Franco Spitale. Spitale then responded by putting in a raise to 32,000, which sent Vu into the tank.

"Thirty-two, right?" Vu inquired after a bit, when the dealer confirmed, he put in the call.

Spitale then tabled {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a turned full house and Vu mucked.

Jaffee Off To Great Start

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Jared Jaffee
Jared Jaffee

Picking up the action after the flop, Jared Jaffee in the small blind was involved in a hand with Alex Jim from early position. With the board reading {8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Hearts} Jaffee checked and then called a bet of 6,600 from Jim.

Both players checked through the {2-Hearts} turn to the {8-Spades} river where Jaffee, fingering his chips in thought, eventually tossed out a bet of 22,200. Jim called only to see Jaffee pound his {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} (flush) holding down onto the table as Jim released his own hand into the muck.

Jim appeared to have been sucked out on, the result being that after grinding his way up to 83,800 on Day 1, Jim has blown through half of his chips early in the first level of play. Jaffee, meanwhile, who did not have a hard time garnering momentum on Day 1, has continued to grow his already juicy stack.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The action folded to Erik Seidel in the cutoff who made it 1,800 to go. Michael Berk called from the big blind and they went heads-up to a flop of {a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}.

Berk checked to Seidel who continued with a bet of 3,000. Berk thought for over a minute before splashing in a check-raise to 8,500. Seidel was having none of it as he countered with a three-bet to 20,000 and Berk instantly mucked his cards.
