According to a player at the table, Peter Ippolito busted in seventh when he got all in with top two pair against an open-ender with a flush draw, and the player with the draw filled it on the river.
According to Joseph Stiers, he, Matt Kelly, and Helder Martins got most of the money in after the 
flopped in a recent hand.
Stiers: 
Martins: 
Kelly: 
Somehow, Martins' aces held up when the 
and 
came out on fourth and fifth streets. He now has 530,000 with the blinds at 3,000-6,000. Kelly was covered, so he's out, while Stiers has a handful of chips left.
Laurence Wolf raised to 17,000 under the gun with the blinds at 2,500-5,000, and four players called. Morgan Litwin reraised pot from the big blind for 119,000 total, Wolf called off his last 30,000 and Michael Fiorito thought for a bit before going all in as well for over 200,000. Litwin called off his last few chips.
Litwin: 
Fiorito: 
Wolf: 
The board ran out 
, giving Fiorito the nut straight. He had both opponents covered, and Litwin collected ninth-place money because he had a bigger stack than Wolf, who bubbled both the final table and the money.
Apparently all Dennis Zollo needs to do is wait, because the chips are coming his way eventually.
He woke up with 
once again, and for the second time in the last hour an unlucky opponent picked up a big pocket pair at the very same time.
Zollo opened for 9,000 and a player holding 
decided to raise it up, making it 26,000 to play. Zollo four-bet to 80,000 and the other player shipped for 90,000 more.
Facing the easiest decision since... well, since the last time he had aces, Zollo simply showed the table his good fortune to make the call. A third ace arrived on the flop to end things instantly, and with that, Zollo pushed over the 400,000 plateau.
Looking down to find in the hole is always an exciting experience, but hearing another player announce themself all in afterward might be one of best moments in poker.
Dennis Zollo just doubled the fun in that regard, and more than tripled up in the process.
After finding the aces, Zollo faced two all-in bets, one for 40,000 and another for 55,000. After opening up his hand and announcing the call, he saw each opponent held a huge hand as well with and 
respectively.
The final board brought paint, coming 
, but Zollo dodged the deck's four remaining queens and kings to score a major haul.
Anthony Caruso got an opponent all in after a flop of 
.
Caruso:
Opponent: 
Caruso's two pair held when the and completed the board, and he has around 295,000.
One player limped in for 2,400 and Ryan Feldman woke up with in the hole. He popped the action up to 6,100 and the limper came along for the ride.
Flop:
Feldman flopped top set with his pocket rockets and quietly tapped the table, hoping to bait his man into making a major blunder. The ploy worked to perfection as the preflop limper suddenly jammed his stack forward for an ill-timed bluff.
Feldman snapped it off with the nuts and when his opponent could only muster 
in response, the hand was over. The turn (
) and river (
) were meaningless and the 95,000 chip pot was shipped to Feldman.
"An early Hanukkah present..." Feldman joked, obviously surprised by the other player's reckless abandon.
Morgan Litwin fired 17,500 on the river, and his opponent called. Litwin showed for the top full house with ace-king. His opponent flashed for a flush, and Litwin has about 198,000 now.

We'll track Gill's progress throughout the rest of this Day 1, as the experienced player looks to keep crushing.
