Simaitis the First to Go

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

"Seat open," a dealer yelled not more than 30 minutes into Day 1b.

By the time we made our way over the cards had been scooped up, so the details of what happened escaped us. What we do know is the unfortunate soul was Lithuania's Gintaras Simaitis, who was ousted by Russia's Maxim Panyak.

That makes Simaitis the first Day 1b elimination, while Panyak has established himself as the early chip leader.
