Eric Wasserson potted to 7,000 under the gun and Matt Glantz called in the cutoff. In the big blind, Dan Cates repotted to 29,000 and both opponents called.
On the 8♠4♣2♦ flop, Cates jammed for his final 21,000, Wasserson folded, and Glantz snapped it off.
Dan Cates: A♦A♣9♣4♥ 
Matt Glantz: 10♥8♦8♣7♥
Cates was in dire straits against the top set of Glantz. Cates picked up a gutter on the 5♠ turn but he could not be saved on the 10♠ river as he was first casualty for this year's PPC.
