Gerardo Hernandez: 6♠6♥
Andres Gonzalez: A♠K♠
"Remember, sixes are a premium hand. I found a hand. I found a spot. Sixes," Hernandez said as he found himself flipping for his tournament life. The J♣J♠7♦ flop kept Hernandez ahead as did the 5♣ turn. The 7♥ river, though, counterfeited Hernandez's pair and he became the first elimination of the day.
With his elimination, the field have locked up $450,400.
