Seminole Hard Rock Tampa poker ambassador Wally Maddah needed to produce magic right out of the gates today. He returned with only a few big blinds and put them to work on the first hand.

David Hubbard open/shoved from under the gun for 157,000 and Maddah put his last 41,000 in from the cutoff. The buttons and blinds released, cards were tabled, and Maddah was at risk.

Maddah picked up a suited ace on the first hand but ran it right into the aces up Hubbar. The flop gave him a glimpse of hope but the turn and river ended his day in 65th place.

David Hubbard – 215,000 (18 bb)
Wally Maddah – Eliminated in 66th place ($10,080)
