Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Justin Arnwine bet 2,500 from early position on a flop of A♥5♥2♦ and James Redding raised to 7,000 in the small blind. Derrick Thomas called in the big blind, while Arnwine got out of the way.
Redding checked the 10♥ turn, and Thomas bet 5,500. Redding then moved all in for 30,000, and Thomas snap-called.
Redding showed 4♦3♦ for a flopped straight, but Thomas had turned a flush with J♥6♥ and left Redding already drawing dead. The river was the 8♠, and Redding became the first elimination of the tournament.
