From the small blind, Dan Idema opened to 750 and the big blind called as the dealer spread a 
flop.
Idema continued for 1,100 and the big blind came along as the 
fell on the turn.
Tapping the table this time, Idema would then be confronted with a bet of 1,900 which he folded too while slipping to just under 20,000.

flop and Shawn Cunix folded from middle position. Andrew Badecker raised to 4,200 and his opponent answered with a three-bet to 10,000. Badecker evaluated his options and four-bet shoved. His opponent called saying, "you probably have a king" and the hands were tabled.
Badecker:

Badecker was well ahead in the hand and stayed there through the 
turn. Then the river came and it was a

The World Series of Poker Main Event always attracts athletes and celebrities alike. From Matt Damon to Emmitt Smith, Ben Affleck to Paul Pierce, we are used to seeing very familiar faces grace the halls of the Rio during this time of the summer.
Today, in the Black Section of the Pavillion Room, there sits a fútbol star that very few Americans would recognize. The player is trying to keep a low profile, wearing a Yankees hat low enough to cover his face and speaking very infrequently, but the Audemar watch on his wrist and the half dozen or so Spanish reporters circling his table aren't helping his cause.
His cover was completely blown when he stood up, towering over the table at six-feet four inches (that's 1.92 meters for all of you across the pond). It was at that point we realized that the giant of a man with the five or six-figure watch on was FC Barcelona and Spain superstar Gerard Piqué.
Piqué is no stranger to the felt, finishing third in a €5,000 side event at EPT Barcelona in September of 2011 and playing in a few side events at the Season 9 EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo, and last week Yahoo! reported that Barcelona is set to offer him a contract extension. The 26-year old defender is widely regarded as one of the best centre backs in the world, and his résumé includes a World Cup win, a Premiere League title, four La Liga titles, two UEFA Champions League titles, and three consecutive selections (2010-2012) to the UEFA Team of the Year.
Unfortunately for Piqué and his Spanish teammates, they were recently defeated by Brasil in the Confederations Cup Final, but he's off to a great start here. With 96,000 chips he is well above the projected average stack entering into Day 2, and we will certainly keep our eyes on him as he tries to make a deep run and add another trophy to his already overly impressive collection.

David Peters has doubled up after having a set of tens paid off moments ago.
We joined the action on a board reading 
where Peters led for 2,200 from his seat in late position. His only opponent at this stage of the hand was the gentleman seated on the button, who called. The river was the 
and Peter sat riffling a pile of blue 500 chips while he decided what action to take. Peters' every move was been watched by Joseph Cheong at the other side of the table. After 45 seconds, Peters moved all in and his opponent called.
Peters turned over 
for a set of tens and his opponent sat with his cards in his hand, completely motionless for 10 seconds before mucking.

With 8,500 in the pot and a board reading , Jake Cody checked from the under-the-gun position and the player in the hijack bet 4,100. Cody made the call and the dealer promptly burned and put out the 
on the river.
Cody checked for a second time and the hijack fired out a big bet of 18,000. The large bet seemed to perplex Cody and he hit the tank. Several minutes passed by as Cody took turns counting chips, fidgeting in his chair and mumbling to himself. After about four minutes had gone by, Cody tossed in the chips to make the called and his opponent simply said, "Busted draw."
The hijack then showed the 
for a pair of sevens and missed clubs. Cody seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and then tabled the to claim the pot.

Gordon Huntly raised to 700 from UTG+1 and found two players willing to call that bet. The first was seated in the cutoff, the other on the button, meaning it was three-handed to the 
flop. Huntly checked and his opponents checked behind.
Huntly led the turn for 1,100 and both players called almost immediately. The flush-completing was the river card and Huntly checked. The cutoff bet and was snap-called by the button.
"You both have a flush, huh?" said Huntly
Neither player responded. Huntly folded and the button mucked when the layer in the cutoff turned over 
for the second-nut flush.
Huntly recently finished 10th in The Little One for One Drop and is poised for a deep run here as he has plenty of chip at his disposal.
