Blinds: 300/600

A single-raised pot preflop between Vinny "brownmagic" Pahuja in the big blind and "cenation", who was on the button brought about a flop of {q-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{5-Spades} with 2,600 in the middle.

Pahuja check-raised a bet of 1,290, making it 3,300 to go, and quickly saw "cenation" three-bet to 10,100. Pahuja called. The turn came {4-Hearts} and Pahuja checked. "cenation" shoved and Pahjua called all in for less.

Vinny "brownmagic" Pahuja: {q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}
"cenation": {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Pahuja had flopped bottom two pair but ran it into a flopped top-and-bottom pair. Neither of the two remaining queens came on the river {8-Spades} and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Pahuja's elimination is one of an early half-dozen, with the others also listed below. Another early decision was the match of "maniacalmonk", who has quickly punched their ticket into the Sweet 16 and into the money after being the final match to play to completion in Round One.
