In early action, Hollywood's Rick Solomon busted. And everyone's favorite online wunderkind in Asia, Durrrr, also hit the bricks much sooner than anyone expected and anticipated.
Solomon got it all-in with 
:KS with a Broadway gutter draw and a nut-flush draw on a flop with two spades. Andrew Pantling flopped a set of Queens with 
. The Queens held up, Solomon whiffed, and Pantling even rivered a boat to win the flop.
Durrr is always a big draw. Sad we didn't get to see more of him before he vanished. Durrr took a couple of early hits to his stack. He had to get it all-in with Ace-Jack suited and a nut flush draw against Timofey Kuznetsov's Ace-Queen. TK flopped top pair and it actually held up. Durrr whiffed his spades draw and he hit the rail in 53rd place. Durrr was the second player knocked out in early action.
