It all started when Jacob Gagnon raised to 1,000 from late position and both the button and Jon Peck, from the big blind, made the call.

Jon Peck: A♣Q♣4♥3♦All in
Jacob Gagnon: A♦5♣4♦3♠

They were already chopping with trip fours, ace kicker, then the A♥ on the river gave both players fours full of aces, delivering a chopped pot.

Not A Bad First Hand

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action picked up after a player in the cutoff raised to 600 and was called by the players on the button and in the small blind. Rous Marek then three-bet to 3,300 and was called by the cutoff. The button and small blind folded and the players were heads-up.

The flop came out A♣2♠K♣ and Marek bet 6,500 which his opponent called. The 9♠ came out on the turn and Marek shoved all in. His opponent tanked briefly before making the call. Both players had identical stacks and therefore were both at risk.

Cutoff: Q♣J♦J♣3♣All in
Rous Marek: A♥A♦J♣5♥All in

The river was the 9♦, improving Marek's top set to a full house, and the player in the cutoff was eliminated.

"Not a bad first hand," remarked Marek's table mate.
