Tony "ToNiSiNzz" Sinishtaj:

Kwon hit a nine on the flop but saw Sinishtaj flop trips, leaving him needing to hit running aces for a better full house or running nines for quads to stay alive. The turn dashed any of those hopes and the river completed the runout, resulting in Kwon's elimination from the tournament in ninth place for $7,572.

With Kwon's elimination, Day 1 has officially come to an end as the tournament has reached the final table eight players remaining. Play will resume at 7 p.m. ET Monday evening. A recap of the day's action will be posted shortly.
