Zalac Takes the Lead
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
We arrived at the table to find Ivan Zalac opening to 300 from the button, before being met with a raise to 1,500 from the player on the big blind. Zalac then bumped it up to 2,900 which was called, as both players saw the flop come down 
.
The player on the big blind thought for a minute, before throwing out a bet 3,250, which was snap-called by Zalac, as the 
fell on the turn. Zalac would again snap-call a bet of 4,000 and then a bet of 5,000 as the 
completed the board.
His opponent tabled 
for a pair of fours, as Zalac tabled his 
for a pair of aces. He took a moment to take in the hand, before raking in the pot.
Zalac now has 34,000 in chips and the early chip lead in the tournament.
