In the last hand of Level 12 a big hand took place at Table 13, one that resulted in the elimination of Larry Ormson.
It began when Ryan Page raised to 5,100 preflop and four other players called to see a flop. Three checks saw the player on the button bet 13,400, Ormson raised all in for 22,000 or so from the button, and then Page check-raised all in over the top. The rest of the players folded, including the player on the button, and the cards were turned up.

Page had flopped top set and played it slow, which led to Ormson going with his open-ended straight draw. The turn was not what Ormson needed, and neither was the river. Page chipped up to 120,000 on the hand while Ormson's Day 1a ride came to a lackluster end, but he did confirm that he will return tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. local time to give it another go on Day 1b.
