Claudiu-Doru Bojan had just taken his seat in the tournament when he tangled in a pot with Conor McGlone.
With the board showing 2♠6♦J♥8♥, Bojan led out for 700 from the big blind and McGlone called on the button.
The river was the 3♣ and Bojan bet another 1,700. McGlone quickly called and Bojan snap-mucked, allowing McGlone to collect the pot without a showdown.

This is the fourth 888poker Live Main Event held so far in 2024. Previous champions include Josep Valls, Razvan Morar, and Manuel Ledesma. The last time 888poker came to British soil was in Coventry last October, when Yiannis Liperis prevailed over a field of 672 entries to earn £120,000.
PokerNews will be following all the action throughout the tournament, so stay tuned for all the live updates here in Manchester.
