Luo Becomes First Casualty, Cates Follows Shortly Afterwards

First blood has gone to Montenegro’s Predrag Lekovic who has busted the short stacked Xi Luo with all the chips going in pre-flop.

Luo had the dominated hand once again, holding against the of Lekovic but this time there was no chop as the flop fell king-high and Luo found no help on the turn or river and headed for the rail.

There was another cry of ‘player out’ shortly afterward from the same table with Daniel Cates following Luo to the exit but unfortunately, we missed his exit hand and the field is now down to 26.
