One of the first eliminations of the day was PocketFives.com contributor and American online pro Alex Fitzgerald, who began the day with a below-average stack (10,800). Deciding to make a move with A-Q, Fitzgerald found himself in a coin-flip situation, getting all the money in pre-flop against Michiel Brummelhuis, who looked Fitzgerald up with pocket sevens.
Brummelhuis was able to spike a seven for a set, sending Fitzgerald to the rail as one of the first casualties of Day 2. Fitzgerald won a Dublin package online at PokerStars to gain entry to the event.
