The easiest way of chipping up is getting your opponents to fold before a flop even comes out. Michael Tureniec took advantage of his button by reraising to 1,500 after the cutoff player made the initial raise to 500. Tureniec's reraise was enough to fold everyone and get all of the chips.
Annette Obrestad had similar success by putting in the first raise preflop. Nobody wanted to play, prompting Obrestad to flash pocket kings. Peter Hedlund, sitting to her left, flashed a look of mock surprise.
"You won with kings?" he asked Obrestad. "I've lost all my kings so far."
