Kroesen Eliminated by Caridad

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

Only 12 minutes into Day 1a, the first player has been eliminated and that happened to be Ricky Kroesen. As the flop showed {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and a pot of 6,200 had emerged. A yellow T-5,000 chip was in front of Kroesen and John Caridad simply moved all in.

Kroesen was sent into the think tank and apologized to the table for taking so long.

"You want me to make it easier for you? Time!" Caridad said, but the clock wasn't called on Kroesen just yet. It would take another minute before the floor staff was called over and Kroesen called all in within the 30 seconds of consideration.

John Caridad: {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Ricky Kroesen: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The {3-Spades} turn and the {a-Diamonds} river were both blanks and Kroesen became the first casualty of the day. He may re-enter in tomorrow's second and final flight for another chance at the seven-figure prize pool.
