Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

On a board of {2-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades} Matt Rolfe moved all in for just over 17,000 and was called by Vahe Hovagimian who had slightly less.

Matt Rolfe: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Vahe Hovagimian: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Rolfe had the over-pair and the dominating lead against Hovagimian who had flopped top pair. The {2-Hearts} on the river would improve Rolf to a full house resulting in Hovagimian being eliminated early in proceedings.

*In the very next hand Rolfe opened from the cutoff and found no callers. Reza Vakili joked that good hands usually follow good hands. Rolfe then tabled his pocket aces after receiving the perfect starting hand twice-in-a-row.*
