Graham Carter had gotten his stack of 29,500 in from the big blind against Wantao Tang on the button, and was at risk.
Graham Carter: A♠3♠
Wantao Tang: K♣Q♦
Carter remained ahead on the 4♣7♦8♣ flop and 5♠ turn, with the A♦ river giving him top pair to seal his double-up.
Over at another table, Yujia Hu made it 6,000 to go in middle position before hijack Wai Yin Wan shoved in his remaining 20,500. Hu asked for a count before calling with the covering stack.
Wai Yin Wan: A♠Q♥
Yujia Hu: 9♣8♣
Hu paired on the 6♦K♦9♦ flop, causing Wan to stand up and leave the table despite the 3♦ turn providing some chop outs.
The 3♣ river changed nothing, however, and Wan was not called back to the table as Hu raked in the pot.

Garry Clarke was all in for around 10,000 preflop, and P.S. was so as well for 30,500. Andrew Cowley looked them up, covering both players to put them at risk.
Garry Clarke: A♣K♦
P.S.: 8♠8♥
Andrew Cowley: A♥K♠
Clarke and Cowley both requested a three after the 2♦9♣4♠5♥ turn gave them a gutshot, but the river came the inconsequential 6♥ instead. Clarke was sent home as P.S. more than doubled up.

Picking up the action on a 10♦5♦A♠ flop, E.C. bet 10,500 from the big blind, which Yujia Hu called under the gun. Lin Chen also came along in the cutoff, prompting the dealer to place the 4♦ on the turn.
The third diamond slowed down E.C., who checked to Hu. Hu took the initiative with a bet of 35,000. Lin called, causing E.C. to get out of the way.
Hu moved all in on the K♠ river, and Lin snap-called for his stack of 54,500. Hu showed 9♦8♦ for a flush, but he was outclassed by the A♦2♦ of Lin, who had turned the nuts and doubled up to a monster stack of 80 big blinds.

Harish Sahnan opened his button to 5,000. Lin Chen sat in the big blind and promptly shipped in his stack of 78,500, sending Sahnan into the tank. After a minute or so, Sahnan decided to fold.
On the next deal, Steven Day raised his button to 6,000. Chen upped the ante to 21,000 in the small blind, which Day called.
Chen continued for 16,000 on the 3♣Q♥7♠ flop, which was enough to take down the pot as Day added his cards to the muck.

V.Z. opened to 4,500 in the cutoff. Ling Chen placed a small three-bet to 9,000 on the button, and V.Z. quickly obliged with a call.
Chen continued for 12,000 on the [jdj4c9h] flop, getting V.Z. to check-fold and show the K♣. Chen initially showed the 7♠ in return, but he added the Q♠ not much later upon V.Z.'s request.

E.C. open-shoved from early position for 28,500. Andrew Cowley made a quick call on the button, creating a heads-up showdown.
E.C.: A♣Q♥
Andrew Cowley: A♦J♦
The 6♣9♣6♥ flop provided Cowley with some chop outs, but the 4♠ turn and 10♣ river changed nothing, seeing E.C. double up with the better kicker.
During the hand Wantao Tang sat down at the table as the newest entry of Day 1a.
