It's been a great start to the $25,000 WSOP Super Main Event on Day 1a with 328 entries in the opening two levels of the day. Here is a look at the highlights from the first two levels. The players are heading on their first 15-minute break of the day.
Two players saw the K♥Q♦6♠10♣ turn, and Daniel Zack checked from the big blind to Matt Glantz who was under the gun. Glantz fired a pot-sized bet of 20,000, and Zack made the call.
When the 2♣ rolled off on the river, Zack check-folded to another bet of 65,000 from Glantz.
Glantz slid his hand toward Zack for him to look, and the dealer enforced a 'show one show all'. The 8♥7♥ bluff was shown face-up as Glantz pulled in the pot.
