Event 1A: Getting There

$250 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 4: 100/200

Low drama is the standard early in these large field events while players get settled. Zach Kessler’s tables are rarely quiet but the first loud explosion of the series occurred there.

That was enough to get our attention as two players were sent to the desk to re-enter. The anonymous 8-seat was involved in a three-way all-in drawing thin with a backdoor straight draw against Kings and unimproved AxQx.

The turn and river came out perfect/perfect to send half the table to its feet and two players to the rail.

An exciting moment in an otherwise mellow affair so far.

There is one more level before the first break and it is closing in on 150 entrants.
