It only took a few hands for us to lose our first player, and it was the short stack Mutan Sivasubramani. He raised it up to 200,000 from middle position, leaving himself 350,00 behind. It folded to Elizabeth Medina in the big blind, and she announced all in, easily having Sivasubramani covered. He made a reluctant call, and saw that he was in trouble.

Sivasubramani: [Kh Qs]

Medina: [Ah Qc]

The flop came down [Qd Jc 7h], keeping Medina in the lead. She would pair her ace on the turn, which actually gave Sivasubramani an extra out. However, the [6c] on the river would provide no help, making him the first causality of the final table.
