Ismael Grijalva opened from under the gun and Chad Eveslage moved all in for his remaining 9,400 from middle position. Ilkin Amirov called from the cutoff and Grijalva also made the call.
The 4♣J♠A♠ flop saw Grijalva check-call a 5,000 bet by Amirov, taking the players to the 2♣ turn.
Both checked to see the K♠ river and Grijalva shoved, covering Amirov's remaining 23,800. Amirov went into the tank and stood from the table. He was talking to the table about what to do and if he should "call?" and Grijalva jested "If you want to bust on Day 1, yeah".
Another player at the table suggested for Amirov to "Stop talking... or at least stop saying things like call" as Grijalva asked "Wait, is that binding?".
Amirov eventually tabled his K♣K♦ and folded his set, leaving Eveslage to see his fate.
Chad Eveslage: 10♦10♠
Ismael Grijalva: Q♣10♣
Grijalva had rivered the straight, eliminating Eveslage from the main event and showing Amirov he had made the right fold.
