A short-stacked Jason Gooch raised to 10,000 in the cutoff and was met with a three-bet to 30,000 from Kyle Arora in the small blind.
Gooch chose to commit his remaining 18,000 chips to put himself at risk.
Jason Gooch: A♥K♥Q♠10♦
Kyle Arora: 8♥8♠6♣6♥
The flop came K♣3♥3♣ pairing Gooch's king and giving him an added flush draw.
The Q♦ gave Gooch an even better two pair of kings and queens, but the 3♠ on the river counterfeited him, giving Arora the win with threes over his pocket eights for a full house to eliminate Gooch in ugly fashion.

Carson Wieland raised to 7,500 in the cutoff and got called by Lisa Fleishman in the small blind and Zachary Hammons in the big blind.
The trio checked the 7♠4♠3♥ flop to see the 6♦ on the turn.
Fleishman now led out for 12,000 which prompted a fold from Hammons, but Wieland called to see a river.
It was the K♣, and Fleishman bet 23,000. Wieland didn't think long before folding to send a pot to Fleishman that puts her over 200,000 chips.

After David Mzarulov raised to 8,000 under the gun, Charles Keller moved his crumbs of 4,500 chips all in from the hijack. Curtis Cavazos then three-bet to 31,500 on the button.
Mzareulov thought for a bit and then folded to leave Keller's fate to Cavazos.
Charles Keller: K♣Q♠10♥6♣
Curtis Cavazos: A♠A♣Q♣J♦
Mzareulov claimed to have folded kings, leaving a couple of Keller's key outs in the muck if true.
The board came A♦10♦7♥8♦5♥, giving Cavazos a set of aces for the win to trim the field down to 28 with the final 12 advancing on to Day 2 in the money.

Joseph Dulaney, who won a WSOP bracelet in No-Limit Hold 'em / PLO mix last summer for just under $200,000 was down to his last 35,000 when he called a raise to 6,000 from Carson Wieland.
"If I make a pair..." said Dulaney before the dealer spread a flop of K♦K♥10♣.
"There's a pair," commented Wieland before he checked to Dulaney, who checked back.
On the A♥ turn, Wieland bet 6,000, which got an instant fold from Dulaney.

After a limp under the gun from George Abi-Zeid, Lawrence Chang raised to 20,000 which got called by Kyle Arora. Abi-Zeid also called.
The trio saw a flop of A♣10♥7♦, and after a check from Abi-Zeid, Chang moved all in and was called by Arora before Abi-Zeid fiolded.
Lawrence Chang: A♠K♦Q♠4♦
Kyle Arora: A♥Q♣10♠5♥
Arora was ahead for the moment with aces and tens with the turn 4♠ giving Chang an inferior two pair.
The river J♣ however gave Chang a Broadway straight to snatch the pot away from Arora.
Meanwhile, Robert Williamson was eliminated at an adjacent table, leaving the field at 21 players.
