A player in the hijack raised to 300 and the button, Kevin Gerhart in the small blind, and the big blind all came along.
Gerhart drew one, the big blind drew two, the hijack took one, and the button took two.
Gerhart led for 700 and the action folded to the button who put in a small raise to 1,500. Gerhart put in the call and his opponent announced that he was bluffing. Gerhart showed 10x9x7x6x2x which was good enough to drag the pot

The player in the hijack raised to 400 and Gershon Distenfeld called in the cutoff. Greg Raymer defended his big blind and all players drew one card.
The hijack then bet 800 out of turn, with Raymer's 1,200-chip bet hitting the felt not a second after. The floor was called over and it was ruled that the hijack's bet stood, with Raymer having all options.
He then checked, after which Distenfeld folded. Raymer raised to 2,500 and got a quick fold from his opponent.

Alex Epstein opened to 300 from under the gun and Mike Thibodeaux called in the small blind.
Both players drew one card. Thibodeaux led for 600, Epstein raised to 1,500, and Thibodeaux made it 3,000 to go.
Epstein snapped it off and got the bad news immediately as Thibodeaux had made a wheel against Epstein's eight-seven to drag a large pot early in the day.
"That's a wheel-y good start to the tournament," remarked tablemate Clint Wolcyn.
