We lost LA regular Ari Shin in 21st place to get us to hand for hand play in the main event, where it took just four hands for Vlastimil Pustina to bust on the bubble. Pustina got his final chips in preflop holding [Ah][Qh], but ran into one of the only hands that hand him crushed, [Ac][Ks], held by Cecile Ticherfatine.

The board ran down ten high, ensuring that the final 19 remaining were in the money. Not long after, Commerce regular Peter Cross became the first to bust in the money, and the final 18 have just completed a two table redraw.
