Salih Atac raised from the cutoff and called when Orpen Kisacikoglu moved all in for 465,000 from the button.
Orpen Kisacikoglu: 5♥5♦
Salih Atac: A♣Q♣
Kisacikoglu remained ahead following the J♣10♦8♠ flop but needed to dodge the deck as Atac had a double-gutter to accompany his overcards. The 9♠ turn gave Atic a queen-high straight to leave Kisacikoglu drawing to a chop. The A♠ river provided no help to the at-risk player, and Kisacikoglu became the first final-table casualty.

The nine finalists have returned to their seats and cards are once again in the air.
Ryan Feldman, co-owner of Hustler Casino Live, revealed on PokerNews' Life Outside Poker podcast that he was kicked out of the 2016 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event over a conflict of interest stemming from his employment at ESPN.

This interview was filmed in July at the 2024 WSOP inside Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
