First Elimination (7 Minutes In)

You can all relax now, Main Event players. One poor soul is already out.

On a flop of {J-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}, one player bet, a second player moved all in, a third player flat-called the all in and the original bettor flashed {A-?} {A-?} and folded.

"All in and call on Table 9!"

A murmur went through the crowd as they heard that death knell for the first time today. Media and ESPN cameras circled the table. The tournament clock showed 1:53 remaining in the level, meaning only seven minutes had ticked away.

One player had {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades} for middle set. The other had {5-Spades} {5-Hearts} for bottom set.

The turn was the {4-Spades}, the river was the {7-Hearts} and the player with the tens doubled up to 60,000 while the player with the fives walked away from the table completely gobsmacked at what had just happened to him.

$10,000 up in smoke in only 7 minutes... only at the World Series of Poker.
