Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi opened for 5,360 from the small blind before he called a three-bet to 15,900 by Ole "wizowizo" Schemion in the big blind.
Shakerchi check-called for 10,000 the 
flop before both players checked the 
turn. Shakerchi bet 35,209 on the 
river and Schemion called.
Shakerchi showed 
for top pair top kicker, which was good enough to win the hand after Schemion mucked his cards.
On the second hand of play, Teun "tinnoemulder" Mulder opened for 8,000 from the small blind. Marius "DEX888" Gierse three-bet to 22,000 from the big blind before he called a four-bet by Mulder to 47,000.
Mulder check-called for 26,000 on the 
flop before leading out for 44,175 on the 
turn. Gierse called and the 
river completed the board. Mulder jammed for 130,325. Gierse used some of his clock before he folded to give Mulder an early chip lead.
Cards are virtually in the air with five players to kick things off.
