The First Bust Out of Day 1b

One player raises to 300, another player reraises from a blind position to 1,600, and the first player calls. The flop comes 8-4-2, and the player in the blind position bets 3,000. His opponent min-raises to 6,000, and the first player moves all in. His opponent calls with 4-4 for middle set, and the first player shows J-J for an overpair. The next two cards are blanks, and the guy with pocket jacks (who was in the blind position) goes home as the first bustout of Day 1b.

Yes, he went broke in the first ten minutes with pocket jacks, no set, no draw.

According to the opening seating chart, the player eliminated was Timo Maymann. But we haven't been able to confirm that.
