Preflop, Gerome Guitteau opened to 42,000 and Michael Shinzaki pushed all in from the big blind.

Guitteau asked for a count and the dealer confirmed that Shinzaki was all in for for 340,000 more. Guitteau made the call.

Shinzaki: {k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Guitteau: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The flop came {7-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{10-Spades} to leave Shinzaki drawing thin. The {9-Hearts} turn and {k-Hearts} river were not enough to get him over the line and he becomes the first player eliminated from the final table.

Guitteau takes back the chip lead at 1,400,000 in chips.
