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 
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 
for the flopped straight, and then Todd "Odds" Hagen moved all in with the 
for a flush draw. Unfortunately for him, Reichert held the 
for the full house and made the call.
The meaningless 
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.
