Man Down!

A young man we believe to be American Paul McCaffrey has just been eliminated.
McCaffrey raised to 250 before the flop, and he found two callers to his left. On the button, Tom Marchese three-bet to 1,150, and McCaffrey came right back with a four-bet that quickly folded the players in the middle. Marchese five-bet it, though, and McCaffrey finally smooth called to see a flop.
It came 
, and McCaffrey check-called a bet of 5,200 from Marchese. The turn was a blank looking 
, and this time Marchese made it 5,300 to call. McCaffrey obliged him once again, and the 
filled out the board on fifth street.
When McCaffrey checked one final time, Marchese set him all in for his last ~10,000 chips. The call came, and the dealer yelled, and the cards were on their backs. McCaffrey was showing 
for the overpair, but it was no good. Marchese's 
were ahead the whole way, and they've notched the first KO of Day 1a.
Meet your chip leader, Tom Marchese. He's got just shy of 60,000 now.
