Level 1 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

With over 20,000 chips in the pot on a board of Q♥8♥10♣Q♠, Joshua Greenly got in his last 9,000 chips and James Chen made the call.

Joshua Greenly: Q♣9♣7♥5♥ All in
James Chen: 10♥10♦8♠7♦

Greenly had trips but needed to improve to quads of a full house as Chen had already boated up on the turn. Although Greenly did improve to a straight on the J♦ river, it wasn't enough to ensure his survival and he was eliminated in the opening level.
