On the first hand of Day 2d, Natalie Ramos moved all in for 14,500 from the button and Chad McMahon called in the small blind.
Natalie Ramos: A♠Q♦
Chad McMahon: A♣K♣
Ramos was dominated but she smacked the 10♠K♠J♣ flop by hitting the Broadway straight. The J♠ turn also gave her a draw to a Royal Flush, but McMahon spiked the J♦ on the river to make a full house.
"Wow. First hand. I hope that's how the day is going to be," McMahon said as Ramos wished the table luck after a brief appearance here today.

On the river 2♣ the big blind decided to make a move and placed a bet of 4,000. Dean thought for a second and called. The big blind insisted Dean show his cards first and he flipped over K♥J♠ which apparently was the winner as the big blind mucked.
