Van Zadelhoff Wins a Small One

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

Before the blinds went up, Steven van Zadelhoff opened to 300 from under the gun and was called by Mark Zajdner in the cutoff as well as a player on the button. "Let me guess, you're gonna mow me down," said van Zadelhoff to Zajdner prior to the flop being dealt.

Despite his previous statement, van Zadelhoff did lead out for 300 on the {5-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop. Zajdner called while the button folded to send the two players heads-up to the turn.

Action checked through the {j-Hearts} turn to the {7-Spades} river where van Zadelhoff sized up a bet to 1,500. "That's all you," remarked Zajdner as he tossed his hand into the muck to send a small pot the Dutchman's way.

Wigg revealed {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for a flopped set and added the chips to his stack as Leecy mucked.

Babekov Chips Up

Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante

A player limped from under the gun and action folded around to Mark Babekov in the small blind, who checked. Darren Elias followed suit out of the big blind to send the three players to the flop.

Babekov checked on a flop of {3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Elias threw out a bet of 200. The under the gun player called only to see Babekov raise to 800. Both Elias and the under the gun player called.

Babekov led out for 1,500 on the {3-Hearts} turn, which was enough to force his two opponents to fold and keep himself chipping up early in the day,
