The field is down to 24 players, and action has been trimmed to the final three tables.
The top 18 will advance to Day 2.
Antonio Tavella moved all in and was at risk when George Kanan made the call.
Antonio Tavella: A♠Q♦
George Kanan: 8♣8♦
Tavella was flipping and found a pair on the Q♦4♣J♥ flop. The 6♠ turn changed nothing, while Tavella improved on the A♦ river to double through Kanan.

George Moussa and David McAllister were heads up to the turn of a Q♦7♦8♠6♠ board, with 88,000 already in the middle.
McAllister led out from the big blind for 200,000, easily covering Moussa's remaining stack. Moussa took some time and asked if McAllister would show if the fold was made.
McAllister obliged, turning over A♦10♦ once Moussa's cards hit the muck.
At a nearby table, Daniel Embleton found a double when his 7♣5♣ beat pocket eights with a superior full house after a 5♥5♠2♦2♠2♥ runout.

Anthony McNamara opened to 12,000 in the hijack and was called by Michael Fraser in the small blind and Tty Ly in the big blind.
Both blinds checked to McNamara on the 2♥5♠Q♦ flop, who fired 10,000. Fraser called while Ly got out of the way.
Both players checked the 9♦ turn before the dealer flipped over the 9♥ river. Another pair of checks saw Fraser turn over 8♣5♣ for two pair, taking down the pot after McNamara mucked.
