Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Shane Uttley raised to 500 and was called by Neel Murthy as well as the small blind. On the 8♦7♥6♣ flop, Uttley continued for 800 and Murthy was the only caller. The next bet on the J♦ turn was worth 1,500 and Murthy stuck around. Both then checked the 2♥ river and Uttley's A♥A♣ won the pot.

On a table nearby, Alexandros Kolonias battled with Thomas Zanot and forced a fold with a pot-sized bet of 12,300 on the J♥9♣6♦2♣ flop.

In the same bronze section, Canada's Michael Khan has also chipped up significantly since sitting down and already reached six figures.

Brett Slezak

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

A player in early position opened to 500 and the button called. In the big blind, Stanley Lee three-bet to 2,300 and only the button called.

On the A♠7♦3♦ flop, Lee led for 2,000 and his opponent called.

The turn brought the J♠. Lee continued to fire, this time for 4,500 and the button quickly called.

The action slowed down on the flush-completing 8♦ as both players checked. The button revealed A♣4♣ which was no good against the A♥Q♣ of Lee as he dragged a sizable pot late in Level 1.

Baker Wheels it to Win

Herbie Teope

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action picked up on the flop with a board showing 3♦Q♦4♣ in a multi-way hand between three-time WSOP bracelet winner David "ODB" Baker, who was in late position, a player on the button and two other opponents.

Baker bet 1,500, which received a call from the player on the button and forced out the other players.

The dealer placed 2♦ on the board, and Baker led out with a 3,500 bet, which the player on the button immediately called. The pot quickly grew to a little more than 12,000.

The 5♣ arrived on the turn and Baker sized down to a bet of 2,100. The player on the button looked across the table at Baker’s wager, and then called.

Baker tabled A♥3♥ for the straight and the player on the button acknowledged Baker’s hand by nodding his head. The player on the button then turned his cards face up to reveal Q♥2♥ for two pair, which was no good.
