Martin Gives Pause With Top Boat

Level 1 : 75/150, 0 ante

Jesse Martin put in a bet of 6,000 on a board of {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{3-Clubs} in early position, and his neighbor on his left put in a raise to 15,000. Martin thought for a couple of minutes and finally opted to call. His opponent turned over {q-Spades}{10-Spades} for tens up, and the 2017 bracelet winner showed {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for tens full.

One for "Fossilman"

Level 1 : 75/150, 0 ante

Greg Raymer is playing at one of the more accessible tables at Amazon Tan today and already attracted some viewers on the rail. They saw "Fossilman" limping along on the button after a few players had limped.

The flop was {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Charles Elliot bet 600. Robert Cain called, as did Raymer. On the {3-Diamonds} turn, Elliot bet 1,600, Cain called, Raymer made it 5,100, and both players folded. Raymer removed his trademark sunglasses and the 2004 WSOP Main Event winner moved up to 67,000.

A player from early position raised to 500 and Jesse Sylvia three-bet to 1,375 from middle position. He was called by the player to his left and the initial raiser. The flop came {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and the action was checked to Sylvia who bet 2,500. The player to his left raised to 7,500 and the player in early position folded. Sylvia called and they were off to the turn.

Both players checked when the {2-Spades} fell on the turn and the {9-Spades} completed the board. Sylvia bet 10,000 and his opponent called rather quickly. Sylvia tabled {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and his opponent showed him {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. Sylvia picked up a nice pot early on to get his day started the right way.

Baumann One-Outs, Eliminates Selbst

Level 1 : 75/150, 0 ante

In a hand that occurred on the stream, Vanessa Selbst raised to 400 with {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} and got action from Gaelle Baumann on the button ({7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}) and Noah Schwartz in the big blind ({j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}).

The flop came {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Selbst bet 700. Baumann called and Schwartz folded. On the {7-Spades} turn, Selbst checked. Baumann bet 1,700 and Selbst made it 5,800. Baumann called. On the {4-Diamonds} river, Selbst overbet the pot slightly with 16,200. Baumann moved all in for Selbst's last 20,000 or so.

"Are you serious right now?" Selbst asked nobody in particular. "Oh my God.

"This might be a quick Main Event for me. I don't know if I'm good enough to fold this. I guess you could have ace-seven of hearts so I have to call."

Baumann showed the quads to eliminate Selbst.
