Kurt Lichtman opens to 5,500 but then Zyad Qasem immediately raises him to 16,000 and Hershall Keeton smooth calls. 

Lichtman doesn’t take too kindly to this raise and decides to move all in for 163,500 total, which results in a hasty fold from Qasem. 

“Alright, I’ll call ya,” Keeton announces as he tosses in a chip and tables Club JSpade J, but he is in bad shape once he sees the Diamond KHeart K of Lichtman. 

No jacks appear on the runout of Club 9Diamond 4Diamond 3Diamond 2Heart 5 and Lichtman is awarded the substantial pot for a full double-up early in Day 2. 

Kurt Lichtman – 330,000 (132 bbs)
