In the secondary room over at table 16, Kyle Keranen has become the first player to bow out of the Main Event after playing for 40 minutes. With the board reading {K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and the pot already sizable due to earlier action, it was Miguel Gurrea Monton who had a bet of 10,000 in front of him.

Keranen moved all in for 20,700 and received a snap-call from Gurrea.

Kyle Keranen: {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Miguel Gurrea Monton: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

While Keranen showed his hand instantly on showdown. Gurrea took about five to ten seconds to slowly turn his cards open one by one. Keranen needed a non-pairing diamond, eight or trey if he was to survive but the river was the {J-Spades} instead, ending his Main Event in level 1.
