Garcia Eliminates Makedon to End Day 1G; Players Bag

After a series of rapid eliminations, it was now Alexander Makedon's turn on the chopping block as he is forced all in from the big blind. 

Cord Garcia, Suzan Samuels, and Nick Toralba all called to put him at risk and went to a flop of 8♥5♥7♠.  Garcia then led out for 15,000 which resulted in Samuels and Toralba mucking their hands. 

"You're going to hell for that, you know... you better have something good," Toralba joked as the cards were tabled. 

Makedon: 3♣10♦
Garcia: Q♣7♥

Makedon would need to improve to beat Garcias' pair of sevens, but the runout of A♥9♥ did not do it and he was eliminated in 10th place. 

With his elimination, the surviving players have bagged as follows: 

Cord Garcia - 830,500
Harold Vetter - 676,000
Christina Hicks - 424,000
Suzan Samuels - 370,500
Zachary Vuong - 317,500
Jason Sherman - 267,000
Ravi Adusumelli - 242,000
Nick Toralba - 161,000
Mohamed Kasswran - 41,500
