Gerleman and Hildebrand Fall on the First Hand

Sean Johnson opened to 6,500 in early position and was called by Brett Reichard in the cutoff. Duane Gerleman re-jammed for 50,000 in the small blind and found Johnson as his only taker.

A jack in the window of the runout spelled the end for Gerleman on the first hand of the day.

Also eliminated on the first hand of the day was Kerry Hildebrand, who ran ace-queen into ace-king preflop for her stack of 48,500 and failed to get there.
