Davies Leading, Paur Out
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/1,000, 1,000 ante
Seth Davies built a healthy chip stack in the early going of the first level and that continued on the first hand after Jennifer Tilly arrived at the table. The two players were engaged in a three-bet pot with a little over 70,000 in the middle and the board reading 9♠7♦2♥J♣.
Davies led out with a bet of 40,000 and Tilly used one of her time banks before dumping her cards in the muck.
"Is this a rebuy tournament?" Tilly asked after losing a third of her stack already. (Yes, one reentry only!)
Davies showed A♠A♥ as he collected the pot to hold an early chip lead over the rest of the field. On the other end of the spectrum, Taylor Paur was eliminated and the first casualty in this event.
