Altman Gets After It on the First Hand

Level 1 : 1,000/1,000, 1,000 ante

On the first hand of the day, Barry Hutter opened to 3,000 on the button which was met by a three-bet to 18,000 from Pierre Calamusa in the small blind. Brian Altman was sitting in the big blind and took some time before counting out a four-bet to 37,000. Hutter quickly folded and Calamusa called.

They went heads-up to a flop of {9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Calamusa check-called a bet of 22,000 from Altman.

On the {5-Diamonds} turn, Calamusa checked again and Altman ripped all in for around 90,000. Calamusa thought it over for a minute before ditching his {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} into the muck.
