Wild Action Leads to Maran with an Early Lead
The action got started with a raise to 1,100 from Toni Bisconti and she was called by the player on her left. Gary Knechtel made it 6,000 to go on the button and Dae-Hyung Lee ripped all in from the small blind as the big stack at the table. Nawaung Maran woke up with a monster in the big blind and stuck in the last of his 80,000 chips as well. The action folded back to Knechtel on the button who was unable to lay his hand down as he called off his last 64,000 chips.
Gary Knechtel: KxKx
Nawaung Maran: AxAx
Dae-Hyung Lee: JxJx
The flop came 10x9x8x which made things sweaty for Maran who was holding the pocket aces. Lee was looking to score an early double knockout with an open-ended straight draw. However, the 2x and 4x runout bricked out and Maran held on to score a huge pot in just the second level of Day 1a.
