Humberto Brenes raised from early position and it folded round to Yu-Chung "Nevan" Chang, who went all in from the small blind. Brenes obliged with a call, putting Chang at risk.
Nevan Chang: J♥J♦
Humberto Brenes: 9♥9♦
With both suits covered Chang just needed to fade a nine — but he went one better and flopped a Jack with the board running out 4♣J♣8♣5♠3♥, giving Chang a welcome double-up.

The players relayed an exciting hand that occurred.
Jake Daniels raised in the cutoff position and the player on the button called.
The flop came out 7♥6♥8♥ and Daniels bet 800 and the button called.
The turn showed the 5♠ and Daniels bet 1,000, the button reraised to 2,800 and Daniels then made it 6,300. The button thought for awhile and folded face up 8x8x for the set. Daniels turned over 9♥5♥ for the straight flush and was off to a good start.

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.
