Marius Toderici was battling back from a short stack, but his comeback just came to an end.
Toderici, who finished runner-up in the MSPT Ho-Chunk Gaming Wisconsin Dells last season, got his last 16,000 in holding the 
on a 

flop against two players who both happened to hold 
. Neither the turn nor river helped Toderici, and his Day 1a run came to an end in Level 12.
