Litvinov Starts Throwing Punches, Knocks Out Stout

Just after Artem Litvinov and Matt Stout avoided a huge early cooler by choosing to play a flop instead, the two took to playing another giant pot just after.

Apparently, Stout was holding against Litvinov's and they got it all in preflop. He didn't catch up on the flop, turn, or river and he was sent home as one of the first casualties of the day.

This is a rather unfortunate turn for Matt Stout who told some of our tournament reporters that he was really looking forward to this event, especially after running deep in a six-handed event, earlier in the year.

Litvinov however is up big after cashing in for all of Stout's chips.
