James Fowler checked the 9♦5♦J♣ flop from the small blind, making the call when Annette Dunning fired 1,200 from the big blind.
Both players then checked the 6♠ turn, and the dealer flipped over the A♥ river. Fowler led out for 2,000, and Dunning took a moment before letting her hand go.
"I'll show you, I flopped the world," Fowler said as he tabled A♦8♦ while collecting the pot.
Michael Frey checked the 6♦4♥Q♣ flop from the big blind, and Mathew McGuire did the same from under the gun. Merrill Eversman was the last to check in early position before Zachary Gotkin bet 3,200.

Eversman led out with a bet of 7,100, and Gotkin made the call. Eversman tabled Q♦10♠ for top pair, but Gotkin showed K♠Q♠ for queens with a better kicker to take down the pot.

Mogell announced all in, which produced a fold from Nefcy and a call from Then.
Steven Mogell: K♦9♠
Armando Then: 10♥7♦

Gene Federico raised to 800 in the hijack, only to see Elizabeth Rice three-bet to 1,600 from the big blind. Rice bagged up a healthy stack on Day 1a1, and returned to chase the $1,500 double bag bonus today.
Federico made the call, and Rice led out for 2,600 on the 4♦J♠Q♣ flop. Another call from Federico led to the 8♠ turn, where Rice checked.
Federico announced a bet of 2,600, producing a fold from Rice to earn the pot.
