On the very first day of the World Series of Poker it may take some time for players to blow away the cobwebs now they're back at the Rio.

One such player who happens to have good memories of the WSOP is the 2016 Main Event Champion Qui Nguyen who was in the field for Event #2. He was in early position and opened to 5,050. The player on the button stared and asked for a clarification before three-betting all in. The remaining players folded and Nguyen also folded.

"I tell you what," his opponent said, "I had a big pocket pair."
