Con Tsapkounis opened to 90,000 from under the gun, and Lawrence Gibson moved all in over the top from the small blind. Tsapkounis went into the tank before making the call.

Gibson {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Tsapkounis {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

Gibson looked set to double up after the {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop, but the {8-Diamonds} spiked the turn to make Tsapkounis a set.

Gibson was unable to catch up when the {6-Hearts} fell on the river to become the first player eliminated on the final table.

"I lay down Jacks before, and now I call with Eights" said Tsapkounis to a friend at the rail.

Tsapkounis moves up to 1,100,000 in chips.
