Ranciato Fills Up Early
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo
Three-handed on a board of 5♥Q♠8♦Q♥, action checked to a player on the button who tossed in a bet of 3,500. The hijack called before Joe Ranciato, in the cutoff, raised to 12,000.
The button quickly folded, but Ranciato's remaining opponent tanked for about a minute before giving up his hand.
Ranciato turned over Q♣8♣ for a full house as he took the pot. "I was calling to call for half. I knew you had the full boat," the hijack told Ranciato after the hand.
Actor James Woods and six-time bracelet winner Jeff Lisandro have taken their seats here since play began.
