Jensen First to Depart

Level 1 : Blinds 1,000/1,000, 1,000 ante
Gregory Jensen
Gregory Jensen

Gregory Jensen had opened on the button when he called big blind Alex Anton's three-bet of 22,000. Anton placed a bet of 8,000 on the 6A3 flop, and Jensen quickly shoved all in for about 25,000 total in response.

Anton instantly called, and the players revealed their cards.

Gregory Jensen: AQ All in
Alex Anton: AJ

Jensen's kicker made him a big favorite to double up, but Anton made two pair on the J turn to leave his opponent drawing slim.

The river came the inconsequential 7, sending Jensen to the rail as the first elimination of the day.
