Diana Piccioli has had nothing but good cards and a lot of luck to start the tournament.
She's picked up pocket aces twice, and although no once called her then, she did get most of two other players chips in a hand where she made a wheel.
It appears all this run-good runs in the family, as her son Bryan is the very same Bryan Piccioli that won the $1,100 No Limit Hold'em - Accumulator bracelet event at the World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific in 2013, collecting a $221,419 first-place prize.

An early gift has David Olshan near the top of the chip counts.
He got one player to commit 3,200 chips preflop with 
against his 
. Then when that player flopped a pair and a gutshot he committed the rest.
Olshan's jacks held and he now has more than twice what he started with.

An early double has veteran rounder Barry Kruger in the mix here in Event #8.
He made a Broadway straight against top two to bust one and make things a bit of a nightmare for the rest of the players on his table going forward.
