Former NBA Star Gilbert Arenas Now Former PCA Main Event Participant
Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas has been eliminated, and he was busted by Dylan Hortin right at the start of Level 3.
According to JC Alvarado, who was seated across the table from Arenas, Hortin had opened from under the gun to 600, and Arenas tossed out two chips in an attempt to make the call. The problem was, the two chips he tossed out were one yellow T1,000 chip and one black T100 chip, totaling 1,100. His action was ruled a raise to 1,100. Action then folded back to Hortin, and he made it 5,000 to go.
Arenas made a comment along the lines of, "Oh, you're going to do me like that? I still like my hand, though." He then moved all in for around 27,000, to which Hortin snap-called.
Hortin tabled 
, which had the suited 
for Arenas in bad shape. Despite being dominated, the 
flop gave Arenas much more hope than anticipated. Following bricks on the turn and river, though, Arenas was eliminated from the tournament as he failed to come from behind.
Hortin collected the pot and moved to roughly 65,000 in chips.
