Vassil Kakaradov Eliminated in 45th Place ($9,210)

Vassil Kakaradov has just been eliminated from the tournament by Charlie Hook.

Facing an opponent's 6,000 preflop raise and a call from Hook, Kakaradov moved all in for approximately 60,000 in chips. The original raiser laid down his hand (which he later claimed was two sevens) and Hook made the call. Moments later, they were off to the races:

Hook: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Kakaradov: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

The {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} flop gave Hook two pair and the lead in the hand, and he never looked back as the turn and river blanked out {6-Spades}, {10-Clubs}.

Kakaradov will take home $9,210 in prize money as the first player eliminated inside the money. Meanwhile, Hook stacked up just over 200,000 in chips after the hand.
