A raise in early position to 250 is met by several callers, including EPT Monte Carlo runner-up Denes Kalo. Craig Marquis reraises on the button to 1,125 and everyone passes, save Kalo. They see a flop of and Kalo checks to Marquis, who bets 1,775. Kalo then raises to 3,950 and gets a thin, icy stare from his opponent who then mucks his hand.
A good start then for one EPT Monte Carlo finalist, but not so good for another. Isaac Baron has not been doing so well, he's down to 13,200 early on, but given the super slow structure of this tournament, it's easily recoverable.
