Gavin Griffin fired out 225 on the flop and Erik Cajelais was the only caller. The latter then check-called bets of 600 on the turn and then snap-called 1,600 on the river.
Griffin tapped the table and muck, Cajelais showed for the pot.
The Pavilion Room is packed to the gills today and as a result any players who are buying into the tournament late have to wait until the start of level 2 to get to play.
Just another reason to get your seats in these WSOP events early!
Cards are now in the air! The tournament clock shows 371 entries so far but we imagine that number will increase significantly during late registration.
Starting in just around 20 minutes time is today's evening event, the "round of each" half Pot-Limit Hold'em, half Pot-Limit Omaha event. Alternating between two of the most popular forms of poker every nine hands, it's a game that will see the action go extremely fast, perhaps more so during the PLO phase.
Players are starting with 7,500 chips and we're expecting a large field for this late start as many players see this as one of the "easier" events of the series. As well as this, there will be a lot of players who have busted the noon $1,500 event and will simply be desperate to get back into the action.
As mentioned, we'll be starting at 5pm and playing eight levels today.
