"Cowboy" John Land Eliminated in 26th Place ($9,986)

Chad Holloway

After Minnesota's Matt Kirby raised to 50,000 under the gun, "Cowboy" John Land moved all in for 370,000 right behind. Action folded back to Kirby and he thought for about 40 seconds before making the call.

Land:
Kirby:

Like we've seen so many times today, it was a flip. The flop was kind to Kirby as it gave him a set, but Land did pick up a gutshot straight draw to a ten. The turn actually gave Land more outs to a club flush, but the river would miss all his draw. Land, who finished Day 1a second in chips, was eliminated in 26th place.

"Sick call, bro," Jeff Fielder compliment Kirby. "Sick call."

Caudill Out in 28th Place; Drazen Up Over 2 Million

Chad Holloway

We're not sure of the preflop action, but we do know Eugene Caudill found himself all in preflop holding and was racing against the of Drazen Ilich.

The flop was kind to Caudill as it gave him the lead with a pair of aces, but Ilich has been running hot as evidenced by the running turn and river, which gave him a winning straight.

With that, Ilich is up over 2 million, Caudill exits in 28th place, and we're down to 27, which means it's time for a redraw.
