Short-stack Manny Rodrigues just became the first casualty of the day, the result of an unlucky river card in a hand aganist Paul Triandifillou.

All of the money went in before the flop and the players' cards were revealed shortly thereafter:

Rodrigues: {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {3-Hearts}
Triandifillou: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {Q-Spades}

Rodrigues maintained the lead in the hand through the turn as the board filled out {8-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}.

"Come on, diamond!" Rodrigues pleaded before the dealer revealed the river card -- the {Q-Hearts}.

"Are you joking me? The last card, eh?" Rodrigues quipped, before wishing everyone luck and exiting the tournament area.
