HomeAfter suffering a painful defeat to SJ Kim, Jim Bonanno was crippled to a very short stack and with the ante round already in effect, it continued to dwindle until he had no choice but to get it all in. Action took off with Ji Young Kim raising to 600, Bonanno jamming all in with 2825 chips, Kelvin Cheng calling, and Kim joining the fun. On the flop of 9♦ Q♣ 6♥, Cheng bet 1700 for a side pot, and Kim called. On the turn of A♥, Cheng dumped more into the side pot laying out a 3k bet. Cheng won the side with Kim bowing out. At the showdown, Cheng had A♠ K♥ and Bonanno with Q♥ J♦, both of them with a pair but Cheng with better. The river of 7♣ failed to improve Bonanno and that was it. Bonanno was the first casualty of the Main Event.
在遭受SJ Kim的重创之后，Jim Bonanno无心恋战，早早结束战斗；此役Ji Young Kim加注至600， Jim all in 2825, Kelvin Cheng和Kim均跟注，翻牌圈 9♦ Q♣ 6♥， Cheng下注1700，Kim跟注，转牌发出 A♥，Cheng持续下注3000， Kim弃牌，Cheng亮出底牌 A♠ K♥，Jim底牌 Q♥ J♦，河牌发出 7♣，宣告Cheng胜出，Jim则不幸成为首位被淘汰的玩家。
