We’ve seen some fast play in the first level of the $5K Six-handed NHE Event and Jason “JPOSU” Potter (pictured ledft) was an early casualty. After losing close to half of his starting stack with top pair, Potter got the rest of it in with A-Q on a Q-7-5 board but his opponent tabled 7-5. Potter couldn’t catch up on the turn and river and was sent to the rail.
James “mig.com” Mackey has already had his stack in the middle once today. We caught him calling a bet of 4K on the turn with the board reading T
8
4
A. The river was the 7. Mackey put his remaining 5.5K or so into what looked to be a 12K pot, but he did not get a call. He is now back over the 15K he started with.
One of the more interesting tables we’ve seen so far includes Stewart “StuMan123″ Yancik, Justin Bonomo, Cody “thugmoneymakr” Slaugaugh and Alexander Kostritsyn. Another table featured Garrett “GBecks” Beckman, Chino Rheem and Dario Minieri.
