Cappello: {X-}{X-}/{J-Clubs}{10-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}/{X-}
Kessler: {X-}{X-}/{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{2-Hearts}/{X-}
Akkari: {X-}{X-}/{3-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Hearts}/{X-}

Allen Kessler was all in when he completed on third street, and Joseph Cappello and Andre Akkari were heads-up on the side.

Akkari folded when Cappello bet on seventh street, and Cappello showed {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for two pair, aces and jacks. Kessler's {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} was no good.

Cappello indicated that he had aces in the hole while Kessler had buried tens to start the hand. Kessler was eliminated, and Cappello is now sitting with the chip lead.

Tablemate Andrew Barber joked after the hand about Cappello's chip stack, "I've never seen anyone win the tournament on Day 1 before."
