Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 1,000 ante
Steven McKuin has taken over the chip lead with a series of big pots and eliminations since the break, leaving Jason Fitzpatrick chasing him down for what was once his Day 1a chip lead.
In a recent pot, Drake Roetker, who is now battling a short stack raised to 8,000 in middle position and got three-bet to 28,000 by Fitzpatrick. Roetker called for just under half of his remaining stack.
On the 8♦6♦6♣ flop, Roetker checked and Fitzpatrick bet the pot, which would be an all-in call for Roetker is he chose to do so.
Roetker instead quickly folded to leave himself hope of surviving until the final five, who will move on to Day 2 in the money.
Meanwhile, Thai Ha was recently eliminated, leaving ten players in the field, meaning the next elimination will send players to the final table of play.
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 1,000 ante
Picking action up on the flop with 13,000 in the pot and a board of K♥10♠2♦, Thai Ha checked his small blind to Matthew Liu who bet 5,000 from the button.
Ha called and the duo proceeded to check the 8♣ turn.
On the 10♦ river, after a final check from Ha, Liu bet 21,000 which got a snap-call from Ha.
Liu rolled over 10♣8♦6♦6♣ for a full house of tens over eights.
Ha mucked his hand and now needs to do some work to give himself a chance moving on to Day 2 for a shot at a second title this series.
Meanwhile at the other table, Kaleb Harwell was eliminated to trim the field to 11 players.

Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 500 ante
With about 40,000 in the middle on a completed board of 7♠4♠3♥8♥3♣, Danny Chang bet 13,000 from under the gun against Michael Kuney in the cutoff.
Kuney cut out calling chips and thought about his decision for a bit before electing to call.
"Good call," complimented Chang who reluctantly showed the 8♠ for a pair of eights.
Kuney showed A♦7♦XxXx and told Chang that was it, just a pair of sevens.
Chang showed the rest of his hand, J♣9♠8♠6♥ and his lone pair of eights was good enough to take the pot as Kuney gathered his pair of sevens and sent them to the muck.
