Fireworks Early!
On the first hand of the day, the table folded around to the blinds, and we nearly looked away for a moment. Brandon Croft was in the small blind, and he opened the pot to 70,000. From the big blind, Mike Summers announced a reraise all in for his 466,000. After a moment to make sure, Croft made the call, and Summers was in danger as the cards were turned up:
Croft:
Summers:
There was an ace on the flop for Summers as it came to pull him into a big lead. The turn didn't change anything, and the river sealed the deal and the double for the at-risk player.
Things change quickly around here, and that first pot of the day was worth nearly a million chips. Put Summers at 959,000 now, while Croft falls out of the chip lead and back under a million with 928,000.
