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