Small Slip for Cernuto

After that raucous opening ceremony, the mood in the room has quickly turned sober as the first level proceeds. Players are starting with 30,000 chips -- 300 big blinds -- so patience is the word as these first hands play out.

Just now we saw a hand in which three players, including Miami John Cernuto, limped, the small blind folded, and the big blind checked. The flop came {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}, and all four checked. The turn was the {3-Spades}, prompting a bet of 300 from the big blind. Only Cernuto called.

The river was the {9-Spades}. This time the player in the big blind bet 800, and Cernuto gave him a quick look before tossing out the chips to call. Cernuto's opponent showed {10-Hearts}{2-Clubs} for trip deuces, and Cernuto mucked. Cernuto slips just under 29,000 here in the early going.
