A Hot Start

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

Jim Edwards is off to a hot start having won a few early pots. But when he made mention of the fact he'd rather go on a winning streak a little later in the tournament, several tablemates joked he's not likely to be here then.

Regardless, he raked in a nice pot after calling a David Conron reraise to 600 chips preflop. The flop fell {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and after Conron checked, Edwards fired in a bet of 600 himself. Conron called and the turn came the {8-Hearts}.

After another Conron check, Edwards sent 1,000 in the middle and Conron called. The {4-Clubs} river saw another check from Conron and when Edwards bet the paltry sum of 100 chips, Conron called again. Edwards turned over {a-Spades}{7-Clubs} and it was good enough to give him the pot and the early chip lead.
