Chad Brown only had 23,000 chips overnight and committed them in one of the first Stud-8 hands of the day. He was up against Ming Lee and Carlos Mortensen, but Lee bet into the side pot to force a fold from Mortensen on fifth. The boards were as follows:
Mortensen:
Lee: () ()
Brown: () ()
Lee made an eight-high straight and six-low which was too good for Brown as he became our first casualty of the day, eliminated in 14th place.
