Gibbs and Tran on the Scoreboard Early

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

The field has quickly grown to 142 entries, with new entries including Luke Edwards, China's Wenling Gao, 5k Challenge finalist Ehsan Amiri, Ladies Event Champion Michelle Psarras, 2017 Main Event champion Michael Kanaan and Jeff Tran to name but a few.

We caught the latter involved in an early hand, with Tran the instigator, making it 600 to go on the button and picking up a single caller in big blind Anthony Mcnamara.

The flop fell {j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and unable to contain his excitement, Tran led out of turn for 1,000. As Mcnamara was yet to act, he was given his full options, choosing to check, meaning Tran's bet was null and void and he had to take it back for acting out of turn.

The {8-Hearts} turn saw no betting action, and the {2-Hearts} river was also checked, meaning Tran's {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} was good for the pot.

Over on Ken Demlakian's table, Edward Kim opened the action with a raise to 600 from the cutoff with Demlakian calling from the button and small blind Rod Gibbs and the big blind also coming along for the ride.

The {2-Spades}{10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop saw checks from every one, with the {10-Spades} turn bringing in a bet of 1,600 from Gibbs. Demlakian was the only caller.

The {5-Clubs} river saw Gibbs fire another 1,600 barrel, and that was enough to get Demlakian to give it up.
