Perfect Start for Casey Jr.
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
While walking through the tournament area to find any familiar faces in today's field, a large heads-up pot emerged and the board was reading 
. The player in the small blind led for just over 1,000 chips and Gerald Casey Jr. raised it up to 2,350 before his sole opponent called.
The American then faced a bet of 2,500 on the 
river and again raised, making it 13,000 to go for almost the entire stack. It took a while for the opponent to call but Casey Jr. got his nut straight with the 
paid off and almost doubled up the stack after only a few minutes.
