Andrey Zaichenko opened from the hijack and Thomas Taylor defended from the big blind.
The flop came 9♦8♣5♣ and Taylor checked. Zaichenko bet, Taylor check-raised and Zaichenko called.
Taylor bet the 7♥ turn and Zaichenko called. Taylor fired another bet on the K♥ river and this time Zaichenko mucked, leaving himself with just over one big bet.
Zaichenko got the rest of his chips in the following hand preflop against Leonard August.
Andrey Zaichenko: A♥9♠ 
Leonard August: 8♠8♣
August's eights held up on the K♣Q♠7♥10♥10♠ runout and Zaichenko became the first casualty of the day.
