George Medina: 
Jon Cohen; 
Medina found himself off to the races for his tournament life. The middle card of the flop was the first visible one and it spelled disaster for Medina as the dealer fanned out 
. Medina now found himself with two cards left, in need of finding one of the remaining two tens in the deck to stay alive. He was unable to do so as the turn 
and river 
fell, making him the first elimination of the day.
