Event 6: First Two Gone

$1,000 + $90 No Limit Hold'em
 
They got cards in the air shortly after noon with 25 players returning.  Blinds are 1,200/2,400 with 400 antes.  About 20 minutes remain in this level.

Chip leader Philip Risman opened for 5,200, Vinny Pahuja shoved for 57k straight in the hijack.  Action folded back to Philip, who asked for the count, then called.

Vinny's AK off was ahead of Philip's 98 suited.  The flop came Q 8 2 -- all diamonds -- giving Vinny the nut-flush draw, but giving Philip the lead with a pair of 8s.  Turn was another 8, increasing Philip's lead.  River was an offsuit Jack and the big stack got bigger.

Vinny finished in 25th place ($1,851).

Damon Sita was next out the door (24th - $1,851).
