Dario Minieri bested Kevin Saul as the two battled heads up at their table. Saul has been Eliminated and Minieri advances to the next round of the shootout.

On the final hand, Saul held {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} against Minieri's {k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. Saul was ahead with his jacks, but the flop changed his fortunes, coming {3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and giving Minieri a pair of kings. The rest of the board ran out {q-Clubs}{10-Spades}, giving Saul no help. Minieri won the pot and the table and will continue play in round two tomorrow.
