E.C. limped in from middle position, prompting Jordan Daniels to move all in from late position for 30,000. Dale Wilson reshoved in the big blind for 76,500, and E.C. folded after receiving a count.
Jordan Daniels: 6♥6♦ 
Dale Wilson: Q♦Q♣
Daniels was rooting for a six, but none came on the 4♦A♦3♠8♣9♣ board. He said his goodbyes to the table, seeing Wilson chip up to 20 big blinds.

Jack Jaeger opened with a raise to 18,000 under the gun. Graham Carter then moved in his stack on the button, covering Jaeger's 118,000 chips.
Jaeger spent some minutes in the tank before he put it all on the line and called off.
Jack Jaeger: 6♥6♦
Graham Carter: A♥K♠
Some expletives escaped Jaeger's mouth as the 8♥K♦K♥ flop brought Carter trips. The 9♣ turn and 8♣ river could not save Jaeger, who exited Day 1a in tenth place.
The nine remaining players converged onto one table with just over two levels to go before the day's end.
In a sizable pot of about 150,000, Vitor Paiva checked from the small blind to Jack Jaeger on the button. Jaeger fired a bet of 65,000, after which Paiva moved all in for 142,500.
Jaeger was visibly displeased with the situation, but decided he could not fold as he flicked in calling chips.
Vitor Paiva: A♥5♥
Jack Jaeger: A♦8♥
Jaeger needed an eight to beat the trips of Paiva, but the deck had one in store on the K♠ river. Paiva secured a huge double-up, while Jaeger was left with a stack of about 20 big blinds.
A blind-on-blind battle between Ling Chen and Dale Wilson had reached the 6♦9♣J♠J♥6♥ river. With 85,000 in the middle, Chen checked to Wilson. Wilson moved all in, covering Chen's stack of 112,000.
Chen spent some time in the tank before he flicked in a calling chip. Wilson could only show king-high with his K♠8♥, and Chen celebrated as he took down the pot with 8♠6♠.
Just prior to this hand, Ding Fan had eliminated Harish Sahnan from this table, seeing the chipleader soar to a stack of 120 big blinds.
Level: 13
Blinds: 2,500/5,000
Ante: 5,000
The remaining players have been sent on their last 15-minute break of the night. Late registration will close at the end of the break, and the field will play three more levels afterward before Day 1a wraps up.
