Joseph Cheong takes a big lead.

Hugo Lemaire had the button and opened to 15,000. Joseph Cheong called.

The flop fell {3-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{k-Hearts}, and Cheong checked. Lemaire fired 14,000, Cheong check-raised to 51,000, and Lemaire called. The turn was the {10-Spades}, and Cheong led for 77,000. Lemaire tank-called.

The {8-Spades} completed the board, and Cheong tossed out 156,000. Lemaire tanked for nearly a minute, staring at both Cheong and the board, before he finally called.

"Two pair," Cheong said, tabling {k-Spades}{3-Clubs}.

Lemaire unhappily mucked, and Cheong now has a massive lead.

Match 1: Mirzikinian Takes The Lead

Warwick Mirzikinian limped blind on the button and Aubin Cazals checked his option. The flop fell {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Cazals bet 9,000. Mirzikinian called to see the {Q-Hearts} turn which Cazals checked. Mirzikinian bet 25,000, Cazals called, and the {A-Hearts} river fell. Another check from Cazals led to a bet of 100,000 from Mirzininian.

Cazals pondered for about 60 seconds before he called, but he quickly mucked when Mirzikinian tabled {2-Spades}{2-Hearts} for a full house.

Match 1: Nearly Even

Aubin Cazals raised to 18,000 on the button and Warwick Mirzikinian called from the big blind, delivering a {J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop.

Mirzikinian checked, leading to a Cazals bet of 25,000. A check-raise was on Mirzininian's mind as he popped it to 75,000. A call from Cazals landed the {4-Spades} turn where Mirzikinian bet another 75,000. Cazals called again, landing the {10-Hearts} river. Mirzikinian bet a cool 100,000, enough to get Cazals to give it up.
