Vaitiekunas' First Bullet Doesn't Last Long

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante

Paulius Vaitiekunas just recently took his seat in the Main Event coming off a final table appearance in the Global Casino Championships. His quest for the Main Event got off to a rocky start as Vaitiekunas quickly saw his stack dwindle to around 10,000 chips.

Vaitiekunas got the last of his chips in the middle with {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and was up against the {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} of Simon Samokovski. The board ran out {q-}{j-}{10-}{j-}{5-} and Samokovski made trip jacks to eliminate Vaitiekunas.
