Top Pair Good for Buzgon
In Level 3 with blinds of 125/250 and an ante of 30, Daniel "loxonbagel" Buzgon opened the action with a raise to 575 in the cutoff and was called by both Mike "FortheThr1ll" Haberman on the button and "TiltedHard", who defended their big blind.
Action checked through the flop 
and the turn came 
. Both "TiltedHard" and Buzgon checked again and Haberman bet 1,000. Only Buzgon called, and both players checked the river 
to take the hand to showdown.
Buzgon showed 
for top pair and Haberman mucked, earning Buzgon the pot. However, Haberman is the one who finds himself with the early chip lead after taking nearly every chip that "vigman@135" had in their stack at the end of Level 1.
