DJ MacKinnon put himself out of immediate danger in the first hand of play in Event 36.

Chip leader Florian Strasser potted under the gun and MacKinnon shoved for 85,000 on his direct left. The action folded back around to Strasser and he called.

The Q♥10♠9♥5♥ of Strasser was live against the A♠A♦8♣8♠ of MacKinnon. The Q♦10♣5♦ flop put Strasser ahead but MacKinnon regained the lead on the A♥ turn.

The 2♦ completed the board and MacKinnon doubled. The blinds are now up to 8,000/16,000.

DJ MacKinnon – 185,000
Florian Strasser – 1,460,000
