First into the pot, Eugene Katchalov moved all in for 1,095,000. The action came around to newcomer Darvin Moon who was still unracking his chips, set to play his first hand at the table. He announced a re-raise to 5,000,000 straight, but it would take another minute or so before he had pulled out enough chips to add them to the pot. Antonio Esfandiari tanked for a while before folding, and the remainder of the table followed in turn.

Showdown
Katchalov: {A-Spades} {10-Clubs}
Moon: {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs}

The flop paired Katchalov but he caught the wrong card as the dealer spread {8-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {10-Hearts}. The turn {2-Diamonds} and river {K-Diamonds} did nothing for his chances though, and he has been eliminated in 39th place.

"Welcome to the table," the announcer said to Moon, stacking a pot with racks still waiting on the rail.
