There was a raise from the cutoff, a raise that Eugene Katchalov called from his seat in the big blind. Katchalov and his sole opponent watched on as the dealer put the flop into view. Katchalov checked, the cutoff bet 1,100 and Katchalov called.
The turn was the , which put three clubs out there and it paired the board. Katchlov led for 2,500 and his opponent dwelled on his options for a few moments before flicking his cards into the muck.
The ESPN Main Stage often gets overlooked on Day 1. After all, there are hundreds of tables spread across three rooms to follow, and the "mothership" contains just the one. With that said, we didn't want to ignore ten-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner and Poker Hall of Famer Doyle Brunson, who went to dinner with his daughter Pam and good friend Dewey Tomko.
We went to catch a hand with "Texas Dolly" but didn't find much. In the one hand we witnessed, four players, including Brunson, put in 900 each preflop to see a flop of . All four players checked and then three checks on the turn saw the button bet 1,500. The big blind folded and then Brunson did the same from early position. The hijack followed suit and the button won the pot.
Even after losing that small pot, Brunson is still sitting with a decent stack of 58,000.

We happened upon Table 394 to see Jonathan Depa tabling the on a board. His opponent on the button mucked and Depa pulled in a pot of about 10,000. That normally wouldn't be too special, but the fact that he was adding to his stack of 115,000 was as it makes him one of the biggest stacks in the room.
We arrived at the table to see the player under the gun plus one open to 800, before getting called by 2012 Main Event final table bubble, Gaelle Baumann, make the call, as well one other player from the blinds.
The flop came down , as the big blind checked his option, before the original raised threw out a continuation bet of 2,100 in chips. Only Baumann made the call, as both saw the fall on the turn.
Another bet of 3,000 was too much for Baumann, as she mucked her hand. Her opponent paused for a moment, before showing his , as he raked in the pot.
