Liperis Rivers Stokkan, Feiger Departs As Well
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Arriving on a turn of A♣3♥10♠K♠, Preben Stokkan in the small blind checked to Yiannis Liperis in the cutoff. Liperis bet 20,000 chips before Stokkan moved all in.
Liperis made the call to put Stokkan at risk, and the cards were tabled.
Preben Stokkan: A♦3♦ 
Yiannis Liperis: K♥Q♦
Stokkan's two pair had a monster lead over Liperis' pair and gutshot. However, the J♣ river gave Liperis Broadway to eliminate Stokkan from the Main Event.
On another table, Day 1a chipleader Joshua Feiger was eliminated after he ran his final few blinds into pocket aces and could not win.
