Leah Exits the Building Early
Niveau 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
Mike Leah opened on his first hand, everyone folded and he turned over aces for a good laugh. His second hand was much less funny as the board read 
and his opponent moved all in on him.
Leah made the call and turned over 
for a straight, but his opponent held for a rivered full house, leaving Leah with just 75 chips and he would exit the field on the very next hand.

Mellinger Takes an Early Pot
Niveau 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
The board showed 
, Thomas Mellinger checked to his opponent who also checked behind and the players turned over their hands to see who would take down the pot with around 4,500 in it.
His opponent turned over 
for top pair and Mellinger tabled 
for a flopped set. "I thought you turned the flush on me", said Mellinger as he scooped in the early pot.

Shuffle Up and Deal
The tournament director has now informed all dealers to shuffle up and start pitching the cards.
Double Stack Turbo Event Kicks Off With Day 1 at 11 a.m.
While "the Big Show" is still ongoing, there's plenty of other poker action still happening at the Rio. Starting today is Event #73: $1,000 DOUBLE STACK No-Limit Hold'em (30 minute levels) where players will get 10,000 chips for their $1,000 buy in.
The two day event is sure to be action packed, with 30 minute levels increasing the price of poker faster than usual. Last year, a similar event ran for Event #65, with Shai Zurr capturing the gold bracelet and a decent payday of $223,241. The Israeli made his way through a field of 1,413 players to secure the title after winning a heads up battle with Serbian Ognjen Sekularac.
Day 1 is scheduled to play 20 levels before the end of play. Players will take a 20 minute break every four levels with a 75 minute dinner break after the completion of level 12. Action kicks off at 11 a.m. and late registration will be open for eight levels, closing at approximately 3:40 p.m.
