Defending Champion Distenfeld Out
Niveau 2
: 200/300, 300 ante
On a board reading 
, last year's winner of this event, Gershon Distenfeld, on the button was involved in a three-way pot with an under-the-gun player and John Walker from early position.
Distenfeld announced all in for his remaining 13,000 and received a quick fold from the under-the-gun player. Walker went into the tank but ultimately made the call.
"You've got me" said Distenfeld, turning over 
. Walker was in fact ahead with 
and would need to fade clubs and kings heading to the river. He did just that as the 
fell to score the early double-up and in the process eliminate the defending champion.
Distenfeld went over to Walker to shake his hand and congratulate him on the "nice call" before exiting the tournament area.
