On a board reading Q♠10♠9♥, recent Chinook Winds Main Event champion Auddie Reynolds could be seen betting 3,600 into the big blind. Luca Russo then threw out two red chips, raising to a tune of 10,000.
Reynolds leaned forwards, tapped the table, and mucked his hand before leaning back, telling PokerNews, "This guys keeps bullying me!'
Early in the tournament it seems to be a laid back environment but as we get later in the day, we can expect the chips to fly less light-heartedly.
