Anderson Takes an Early Lead
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
The pot already contained over 2,000 and the board read 
.
"Bigsmd" had bet 1,500 from the button after both Joseph Anderson (big blind) and Jonathan Hayward (cutoff) had checked. Anderson called but then Hayward raised to 4,000. Bigsmd thought about it for a while and then decided to fold. Anderson called once more.
The 
on the river completed the board, Anderson checked again. Hayward continued with a bet of 11,525. Anderson looked at the board and his own stack and then opted to call. Hayward reluctantly tabled 
and was beaten by the 
of Anderson who had hit two pair on the river.
