The match-up between Weston Mizumoto and John Smith offers an interesting dynamic, with Mizumoto being many years younger than the veteran.
Mizumoto asked Smith about his history in the event and was in awe as Smith reeled off his Heads-Up record.
Through the polite discourse, they tangled in a hand, that saw Smith take a small lead.
Smith opened to 6,500 from the button and was called. Mizimoto check-called for 7,000 on the 8♣5♠5♦ flop before folding to a bet of 10,000 on the 7♥ turn.
On a nearby table is the duel between Sam Soverel and Faraz Jaka. It appears the match has been back and forth in the early goings, with stacks looking even.

On a wet board of J♣8♦9♣K♣, and 65,000 in the middle, Cary Katz led out with a bet of 50,000 and Artur Martirosian called.
The river brought the 8♥ and Katz fired out another bet, this time for 165,000. Martirosian used two time bank cards before eventually tossing his cards into the muck.
It is proving to be a back and forth match between the two early on.
