“Cowboy” John Land became one of the first eliminations after registration closed here on day 1a. Land’s demise began when Andy Philachack raised to 10,000 from middle position and Jim Wilson called from the cutoff. Land moved all-in for his last 16,000 from the button and Philachack folded his hand. Wilson tanked for a few mments and then called.
The dealer instructed the two men to flip over their hands and Land showed A5 to Wilson’s 77. The board ran out 109338 and Land was put out to pasture.
