McGinnis Eliminated on First Hand

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Thomas Evers opened from under the gun before Dan McGinnis jammed for his remaining 48,000 from the button, and Evers snapped it off.

Dan McGinnis: AQ All in
Thomas Evers: JJ

It was a coinflip scenario until the J54 flop gave Evers top set, leaving McGinnis drawing to running broadway. The 2 turn sealed his fate, and the Q river was an added needed for McGinnis who was sent to the rail on hand one.

The New York native, who already has more than $1.4 million in live earnings, begins the day as the chip leader with 933,000. Punjarojanakul has had success here at the Borgata before, finishing second in the $800 Kick Off event at the 2024 Borgata Winter Poker Open and making the final table of the Spring Poker Open that same year.
