Isaia Among the Early Chip Leaders; Ruivo Adds Chips

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

In the cluster section in front of the main live stream tables, another player in particular has already nearly doubled his stack and that happens to be Italy's Alessio Isaia. Stavros Petychakis was the one to take most of the hit as he sits below one third of the starting stack.

Two other well-known players are on the same table including Jonathan Pastore and Manuel Ruivo. The latter opened and picked up two callers in Jay Glass and Atun Topic. They check-called the K104 flop for 500 before the 8 turn was checked. After the A river, the action checked to Ruivo and he won the pot uncontested with another bet.
