Bleznick Wakes Up With Aces to Knock Out Einhorn on First Hand of the Tournament
Sinan Unlu opened to 7,000 before Jared Bleznick who three-bet to 25,000. Action folded to David Einhorn in the small blind, who four-bet to 77,000. Unlu folded and Bleznick decided to then five-bet to 225,000, before Einhorn six-bet all in for his stack of 1,000,000, and Bleznick snap-called.
Jared Bleznick: A?A? 
David Einhorn: A?K?
On the very first hand of the tournament, Einhorn found himself all in and crushed against the pocket aces of Bleznick. The 8?K?2? flop gave Einhorn a glimmer of hope, as he paired his king and also had a backdoor flush draw. However, the 8? on the turn left him needing just another king to stay alive. Unfortunately for Einhorn, the 7? on the river offered no help, and Bleznick secured the double-up, eliminating Einhorn on hand one.
