Matthew Wantman has just emerged victorious in his first-round battle with Eric Wasserson.
Wantman raised the button pre-flop to 3,500 before calling a Wasserson three-bet of 10,500.
The flop came down KxJx10x, no flush draw. Wantman called a continuation-bet of 5,500, before the turn Jx checked through.
Wasserson saw the green light and when the 6x landed on the river, he moved all-in for roughly 45,000.
Wantman called, his hand beating the queen-high bluff of Wasserson, to see him progress to round two.
Matthew Wantman: A♦J♦
Eric Wasserson: Q♦3♠

Harvey Castro and Cary Katz have been engaged in a very tight affair thus far with neither player being able to hold a significant lead. Castro opened to 4,000 on the button and Katz three-bet to 15,000 in the big blind which Castro called.
The flop fell K♦10♦6♠ and Katz led out with a large bet of 40,000 on the flop and Castro wasted little time before dumping his cards in the muck.

Kevin Rabichow and Rick Salomon are battling on table 78. Rabichow raised to 3,500 on the button and Salomon called.
The flop came 6♥6♦5♥. Salomon checked, and Rabichow bet 2,000. Salomon decided to call and see a turn.
That turn card was the 8♥, and Rabichow kept betting when Salomon checked to him, this time for 4500. Salomon again called.
The river was the 9♣ and Rabichow didn't stop betting. He now announced a bet of 12,000, and Salomon pretty quickly called. Rabichow rolled over the J♠4♥ for a bluff, and Salomon showed 9♦5♦ for the winner.
Salomon still has some work to do to catch up to his opponent.
