With play being underway for just over 20-minutes we have seen a minimal amount of flops.
However all the players are starting to get very aggressive with three-bets and four-bets occurring nearly every hand.
Kyle Carlston has been the main advocate three-betting Marc Tschirch's 40,000-chip open to 125,000. Carlston then opened to 40,000 on the button, only to have John-Paul Kelly three-bet him to 100,000.
Carlston was having none of it, announcing pot to force an muck from Kelly.
Following his aggressive run, Carlston is now up to 420,000 in chips.
