Early Action

I'm yet to witness an all in, but the generous 20,000 starting stack does seem to be creating bigger pots and triggering unusually large bets. Wandering through the playing area, I spotted such a hand on Table Tilly.

Stefan Raffay made it 250 from the cut-off, Fredrik Keitel reraised to 1,050 from the button and Stephane Campilla called in the small blind. Raffay folded and the two remaining players saw a {5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} flop where Keitel took it down with a massive 6,100 bet.

This kind of overbet seems to be indicative of a lot of pots I'm witnessing within this opening level.
