Main Event Day 1A - Final 9 Set; Hollander Out in 11th, McBrien Out in 10th
We had no necessity for a ten-handed final table, because after the elimination of Jesse Hollander in 11th, a simultaneous hand had Joe Brandenburg raising in early position, with David McBrien moving all-in on a short stack in the cutoff.
Anthony Yeh, the man who busted the money bubble, was at it again, as he moved all-in over the top from the blinds, sending Brandenburg deep into the tank, from which he eventually emerged with a fold of pocket queens. He was right, as Yeh had pocket aces, and McBrien could only muster pocket sevens. There was no help from the board, and so Yeh busted both the money bubble and the final nine bubble on Day 1A.
Hollander, of Las Vegas, and McBrien of Queensland, Australia each received $1,200 for their efforts.
Chip counts for the final nine are forthcoming, and we have a couple of repeat final tablists in James Wheatley and Bona Sar, who have each had very successful series' at Detox. Getty Mattingsley is also one of the nine.

Main Event Day 1A - Chris Griswold Out in 14th, Blinds are Up
Chris Griswold was very close to an incredible birthday present, but his fun was spoiled just five spots from the final nine on Day 1A.
He was involved in a coinflip situation with pocket tens against ace-queen offsuit, and the board was all safe cards for Griswold until the cruel queen hit the river, sending him home in 14th place.
We'd like to send our condolonces, and Happy Birthday, Chris!
