Limit Hold'em

Craig Chait, runner-up in this event last year, was all in preflop as Thomas Taylor in the hijack and another opponent in the cutoff built a side pot heading to the 3?Q?5? flop.

The cutoff bet and Taylor called. The turn came the 4? and Taylor now led out with a bet. His opponent called, then folded to another bet by Taylor on the K? river.

Taylor turned over 5?5? for the flopped set. "You're good," Chait said as he tossed his 10?9? into the muck before heading for the exit.

Reigning PPC champion Brian Rast's seat at this table is also unoccupied, and he has also hit the rail on Day 1.
