Reichert Notches the First Elimination of the Tournament

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Well, it didn't take long for the first player to fall from the MSPT Golden Gates Casino Day 1a field.

We picked up the action on a board reading {j-Clubs}{q-Spades}{k-Spades}{j-Spades} with Ross Reichert, who was donning a 10-gallon cowboy hat, placing a 10,000 bet out in front of him. Danny Gonzalez thought long and hard before releasing {10-}{9-} for the flopped straight, and then Todd "Odds" Hagen moved all in with the {a-Spades}{3-Clubs} for a flush draw. Unfortunately for him, Reichert held the {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} for the full house and made the call.

The meaningless {A-Clubs} was run out on the river, and Reichert was pushed the large pot while Hagan, who was playing in only his second major tournament, became the day's first casualty.
