Quenneville Busy Early
We have only seen two flops so far and in both hands were we did so it was Canada’s Troy Quennville who won the pot.
In the first Xixiang Luo opened the action from under-the-gun with a raise to 38,000 with Quennville making the call from the big blind.
Both players checked the rather wet 
flop, before Quennville took a stab for 54,000 on the 
turn. That was enough to get Luo to give it up and the Canadian won his first hand of the day.
Three hands later it was Quennville who was the initial aggressor, popping it up to 35,000 from the cut off. Ben Lai shot him a suspicious stare and threw in the call from the small blind, Nick Petrangelo folded the big blind and it was heads-up to a flop of 
.
Lai checked, Quennville bet 38,000 and the Hong Kong player quickly folded and the Canadian won another.
