Four players — including Travell Thomas and chip leader Scott Hosbach — limped, and the player in the small blind moved all in for 22,500. The action folded back to Thomas, who re-shoved for about 55,000 more, and the rest of the table folded.

It was all over quickly as the flop gave Thomas a straight, and the meaningless turn and river sent another player to the rail. We're already down to 27 players and only 15 spots away from the money.
We were just handed the official payouts for Event #1. The 108 entries created a prize pool of $17,442, and the top 12 finishers will earn a minimum payday of $366. The eventual winner will take home $5,233.
Rick Kech was the chip leader early in the day but has relinquished that title to Aaron Olshan, who just busted Kech in a massive preflop confrontation. Olshan held the against Kech's and his hand help up to increase his stack to 170,000.
