Michaelis Eliminated on First Hand
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
The dealer had called for an open seat on Table 8 as Paul Michaelis, who entered the day as the shortest stack in the tournament, was eliminated on the first hand. He went all in under the gun and was up against Javier Zarco, who was in middle position.
Paul Michaelis: 
Javier Zarco: 
Michaelis found no help as the board came 
, giving Zarco Broadway and sending Michaelis to the payout desk, which is likely to be a pit stop on his way downstairs to defend his title in the Main Event which just got underway.
