Event 1 (Day 2): Gordon Sends Two Home

Level 24 (Blinds 10,000/20,000/3,000)
Total Entries: 560
Players Remaining: 15
Chip Average: 560,000

Joshua Gordon
Giuseppe Serio would open the action under the gun to 55,000, and after two folds would be three-bet to 125,000 by Joshua Gordon.  The action would fold to John Pritchett in the big blind who was just left crippled after a recent pot, and he would shove his 29,000 towards the middle.  With the action back on Serio, he would make the call, leaving himself with only 40,000 behind.

The three players would go to the flop (with Pritchett all-in), with the dealer fanning out Q♠ K♠ 7.  Serio would push his remaining chips in, and the hands would be tabled:

Gordon: QJ
Serio: Q10
Pritchett: 10♣ 2

The turn would bring the 9, and the river 8♣ would seal the pot for Gordon, eliminating both Serio and Pritchett.  Gordon is now up to 1,100,000.
