Hand #1: Kido Pham Eliminated

Kido is out!
Kido is out!

Under the gun, Kido Pham moved all in for 35,000 with {8-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}. Josh Brikis called across the table, and he showed down his {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}, racing against Kido for his bounty.

The flop was a clean slate for Pham, coming {2-Spades} {J-Hearts} {7-Spades}. The {10-Clubs} turn left him sweating a little bit, though, as Brikis picked up another four outs to the knockout. Sure enough, the disastrous {Q-Spades} peeled off on the river, ending Pham's WSOP four places shy of a Main Event cash.

The gregarious Pham shook hands with his table mates and wished everyone luck as the eyes of the ESPN cameras were trained on the tournament's latest victim.
