Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

WSOP Main Event finalist (2016) Kenny Hallaert was in the big blind when a player in early position opened to 500. The Belgian player defended and saw the flop J♠K♥J♦. Hallaert checked and the initial opener checked back.

On the turn 10♥, Hallaert took the lead, betting 1,000. His opponent called.

The 6♥ landed on the river and Hallaert bet once more, this time to 3,000. His opponent raised to 6,500 and after a few seconds, Hallaert folded.

The action folded around to the small blind who limped in and Frederic Normand raised to 800 in the big blind. His opponent called and the flop came Q♥J♥7♥. The small blind checked to Normand who bet 400 and his opponent called.

The turn brought the 4♠ and the small blind checked again. Normand sized up a bet of 1,600 this time and his opponent still called. The river was the 10♠ and the small blind instantly led out with a bet of 3,000. Normand went into the tank for well over three minutes on the first hand.

"Sorry guys," he said after a couple of minutes which got some chuckles from the table. Normand eventually called and his opponent showed K♥ for a missed flush draw while Normand held 4♣4♦ for a set of fours.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

While her most memorable hands were displayed on the screens in the room, Gaelle Baumann opened to 600 from the hijack and was called by both players in the blinds.

On Q♥6♦10♦, the small blind took the lead, betting 1,800. The big blind called, as did Baumann.

On the turn Q♣, the small blind said "1,800 again." This time, the big blind folded, but Baumann didn't give up and called.

The 3♠ came on the river and the small blind sized up to 4,500. Baumann immediately folded and let the pot go to her opponent.

Cole Ferraro opened to 500 from under the gun and picked up two callers along the way. The flop came A♠A♣4♥ and the action checked to the hijack who bet 800 and only Ferraro called.

The turn was the 7♥ and both players checked to the 3♠ on the river. Ferraro led out with a bet of 1,000 and his opponent quickly called. Ferraro turned over J♠J♥ and his opponent was unable to beat it.

On the next hand, the cutoff raised to 700 and Ferraro defended from the big blind. The flop fell 6♠5♦3♥ and Ferraro checked to his opponent who bet 600. Ferraro check-raised to 2,500 and his opponent countered with a three-bet to 6,000. Ferraro thought for a brief moment but decided to lay his hand down.
