Day 1a Chip Leader Graner Eliminated

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Stephen Graner
Stephen Graner

The first of the opening flight chip leaders has been eliminated as Stephen Graner has busted.

Armando Mesina opened action in late position with a raise to 12,000. Derek Molnar called in the cutoff and Graner jammed for almost 200,000 from the small blind.

Mesina folded, but Molnar called and had Graner in bad shape.

Stephen Graner: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Derek Molnar:{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The flop came {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, bringing Molnar a set, and running fives were not in the cards for Graner on the {7-Clubs} turn and {j-Spades} river.

Alsup Doubles Through Evans

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

On a flop of {6-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{3-Spades}, Rich Alsup check-raised Daniel Guerrero for his entire 88,000 chip stack. Lena Evans made the call and Guerrero folded, leaving his 25,000 bet in the pot.

Rich Alsup: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Lena Evans: {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs} giving the MSPT Hall of Famer a double up and then some, while Evans falls below 100,000

'TK' A Mystery No More

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Thuy Kawano
Thuy Kawano

Thuy Kawano kept her identity a mystery on day 1, but having made the money and recently doubled up from a short stack, "TK" agreed to a photograph after her flopped set of sevens coolered Robert Fortuno's top two pair of kings and tens on a {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{2-Spades} runout.

Kawano is still somewhat short, but she, along with the other four women remaining in the field are all still alive.
