Vieira Becomes First Casualty
The last hand started about four minutes before the end of the level, but Joao Vieira tanked for five minutes and long into the break before he sent his stack over to Dario Sammartino.
Vieira, who was down to 50,000 when the hand started, had raised from the small blind and Sammartino called. On the 
flop, Vieira continued for 6,800 and was called before he made it 10,200 to go on the 
turn. Sammartino tossed in the chips for the call before the Portuguese player checked the 
river. Sammartino put him all in for around 30,000, and Vieira ended up calling with the 
after a long tank. Unfortunately for him, he only saw his tournament life end, as Sammartino made runner-runner trips with the 
.
Despite the bust, a second entry is possible until the start of Day 2 for Vieira, so we may see him enter the competition again.
