Perrins Joins the Field
Among the big names to join somewhat late was Matt Perrins and he managed to receive a seat in the main room, overlooking the Hippodrome Casino when he turns around. He just got involved into a small pot as initial raiser on the button and the big blind defended.
On the flop, the big blind check-called a bet of 700 and checked again the turn. Perrins fired a second bet of 1,500 and that was enough to win the pot.

The House Of Rabalison
There was betting on the flop but the turn was checked and now small blind Kristaps Rigas Deks and [Removed:393] on the button were looking at the final board of .
There was 12,000 in the pot and Deks led out for 2,100. Rabalison raised to 8,500 and went in the tank, obviously not expecting this turn of events. He tried to puzzle it out and writhed in his seat for a spell before he called.
Rabalison showed him the full house and Deks mucked.
