A pot of around 20,000 was already in the middle as Jamie Walden and an opponent in early position went to the river on a completed board of 5♦7♠9♣Q♣6♠.
Walden, on the button, then moved all in for 21,100 and sent his opponent deep into the tank. He considered the decision for several minutes before another tablemate called the clock.
The countdown had nearly reached zero before Walden's opponent slid his cards into the muck. "Six-seven, right," another tablemate said to Walden, who remained silent as he took the pot.
Niall Farrell, Yiannis Liperis, and Daniel Laidlaw are among the recent entries into Day 1b.

Terry Jordon took a break from managing his massive stack to tend to his other stack in the high roller event. He returned after nearly an entire level to find he had been moved and had to ask the tournament director where his new seat was.
As soon as he sat down, he went to the turn on a board of 5♣10♦Q♦J♥ as he and his opponent checked to the 9♦ river.
Jordon then pushed forward a bet of 10,000 and his opponent quickly called. Jordon showed J♦2♦ for the rivered flush, while his opponent had K♦J♠ before mucking.
