Tony Ruberto moved all in under the gun for 36,000, and the player in the hijack called with AcKc.

Ruberto turned over 2h2d, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came 8s8d3h10h5h, and the pocket deuces held up for Ruberto to win the pot and double up in chips.

Tony Ruberto  –  78,500  (26 bb)

With about 77 players remaining from a field of 514, the average chip stack is about 133,500 (45 big blinds).

Action will continue tonight until there are 52 players left, and everyone who survives will be in the money and advance to Day 2, which begins Sunday at 1:00 pm.
