James Calderaro raised to 28,000 in early position and Shibo Wu moved all in for 92,000 in middle position. Bin Weng then reraised to 172,000 in the cutoff, and Calderaro called to create a side pot.
Weng and Calderaro checked the A♦4♦5♥ flop, and Weng then bet 160,000 on the Q♠ turn. Calderaro folded, and Weng turned over Q♣Q♦ for a set. Wu, though, showed A♠A♣ for top set, and the 5♣ fell on the river to secure his triple up.
Around 150,000 was already in the pot as Neal Pradhanang and an opponent went to a flop of 7♦2♥6♥. Pradhanang then bet 60,000 from the big blind, and his opponent raised to 150,000 on the button. Pradhanang then moved all in for 245,000.
His opponent tanked for a few minutes before eventually folding. Another tablemate then repeated the amount of Pradhanang's all-in bet. "Are you kidding me? I thought he said 485," the button said.
Bin Weng raised to 24,000 in the hijack and was called by an opponent on the button and James Calderaro in the big blind.
Calderaro led out for 35,000 on the A♥K♥Q♠ flop, and both Weng and the button called. Action then checked to the button on the 3♦ turn, and he bet 88,000. Only Weng called this time.
The river was the J♥ and Weng bet 202,000. His opponent called with A♣10♣ for a straight, but Weng had rivered a flush with Q♥9♥ to win the pot.
Jo Kim and Rishi Mehta are also at this table.

A player in middle position raised to 20,000 before Thomas Winschel three-bet to 90,000 in the cutoff. His opponent then moved all in, and Winschel snap-called for 243,000.
Thomas Winschel: A♥A♠ 
Opponent: A♣K♦
The middle-position player hit a pair on the K♠3♠5♦ flop, but he improved no further on the 8♣ turn or Q♣ river as Winschel's aces held on to earn him a double up.
A handful of BetMGM online qualifiers advanced to Day 2:
Aaron Fischer moved all in for 145,000 in the hijack and John Wilson put him at risk in early position.
Aaron Fischer: J♦J♠
John Wilson: 9♣9♠
"I get nervous when they come over here with the cameras," Fischer said as the flop came 10♣10♦5♦. The 7♦ turn was safe, and he secured the double up once the 5♠ completed the board on the river.
"I've never been on there winning a hand," Fischer added after the hand.
