Larson Claims Early Lead with Double Elimination
David "TheClubber" Larson is the early chip leader after scoring a big double elimination.
We missed the hand unfold, but we learned after the fact that four players saw a 
flop when Larson checked the big blind holding the 
. After some action in between, Larson check raised and both Roland "prngls12" Israelashvili and Thomas "tamacron" Alcorn called while Michael "ParxBigStax" Marder got out of the way.
On the 
turn, Larson jammed and both Israelashvili and Alcorn called off.
Roland "prngls12" Israelashvili: 
Thomas "tamacron" Alcorn: 
David "TheClubber" Larson:
Israelashvili was ahead with a set but both Alcorn and Larson had up-and-down straight and heart flush draws.
The 
on the river have Larson the better flush, and just like that Israelashvili and Alcorn hit the rail following David "Twizzlersyum" Prociak, the tournament's first casualty, out the door.
