Event 15 (Day 2): McKnight First To Go

Level 13 (Blinds 800/1,600/200)
Total Entries: 543
Players Remaining: 134

The echoes of dealers announcing "all-in" could be heard immediately on the first hand of the day, and continued for the first few minutes.  The first to lose one of those all-ins was Ryan McKnight (Harrisburg, PA).  McKnight started the day with 33,000 (20 big blinds), but couldn't win a race against Jeromy Bittan all-in pre, as Ryan's 6♠ 6♣ < A Q♠ of Bittan.  Following McKnight's bustout, a handful of players were seen walking away from different tables.  Any of the eliminations that can be reported throughout the day will be noted, because the fans at home always want to know how their sweats are doing.
