PokerNews Senior Live Events & Digital Executive Brad Whitehouse has made a strong start to the day, eliminating 2023 WSOP Europe Main Event champion Simone Andrian.

Action folded to the former champion in the small blind, and he shoved for around 37,000. Whitehouse called from the big blind and the cards were tabled.

Simone Andrian: Ax7xAll in
Brad Whitehouse: QxJx

Whitehouse paired his queen on the runout, while Andrian failed to connect and was sent to the rail.

Whitehouse has a modest $5,630 in recorded live tournament earnings, just edging past the buy-in for the Main Event. He also has two recorded tournament wins, one in a £30 event in the UK and another in Estonia in a PLO 4/5/6 tournament.
