First Elimination of the Day

Arturo Diaz became the first eliminated player when his {3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} hit a strong flop of {4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades}. Diaz got all his money in against Russell Powell, who held pocket jacks. Powell was left drawing to a jack, which he hit on the turn, giving him jacks full of threes. The river {K-Diamonds} was of no help to Diaz, who was the first player sent to the rail.
