Sippl First to Fall
Level 2
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Picking up with the action on a completed board of 
, Roger Sippl and Justin Bonomo had built a pot of approximately 80,000. Sippl checked the river and Bonomo tossed out a bet of 75,000. Sippl thought for a moment before announcing a check-raise all in over the top for about 187,000 total.
The pressure was put back on Bonomo, but after just under a minute he announced a call.
"Good call," said Sippl as he rolled over 
for a pair of nines.
Bonomo showed 
for two pair, ensuring that Sippl would be the first casualty of this prestigious event. Bonomo raked in the pot and now sits on the chip lead with about 515,000 to his name.
