Preflop, Benjamin Spragg got his remaining 18,400 in the middle from the cutoff against Rahul Mittal in the hijack.
Benjamin Spragg: J♠J♣ 
Rahul Mittal: A♦3♥
Spragg flopped a set on A♥K♥J♦, securing the pot after the 9♦ hit the felt on the turn. The meaningless 8♥ river rolled off as Spragg raked in the pot.
Level: 6
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 600
Eric Rabut raised to 1,100 from early position and Tolga Alibeyoglu called from the hijack. Jacques Der Megreditchian squeezed to 3,700 from the cutoff, and both opponents called.
When the action checked to Der Megreditchian on the 2♦4♦3♠ flop, he bet 3,000, and only Alibeyoglu continued with a call.
Alibeyoglu check-called a second bet from Der Megreditchian on the 9♠ turn, this time for 7,000.
Both players checked the A♦ river and Alibeyoglu took down the pot with 5♥4♥, having rivered a wheel.
Arriving on the 5♥10♦2♥Q♦ turn, Paul Klann got his stack of 25,000 into the middle from the hijack against Manuel Rossi on the button, being the player at risk.
Paul Klann: 2♠2♦
Manuel Rossi: 10♠10♣
Klann was left with one out in the deck after running into a higher set, and he did not find it on the K♥ river.
Ryoji Kusumoto raised to 1,000 from the cutoff and Alexander Yen three-bet the button to 3,000. Yngve Steen cold four-bet jammed the small blind for 10,800, which was called only by Yen.
Yngve Steen: A♦K♥
Alexander Yen: A♠Q♦
Steen's big slick had him way out in front, but that all changed when the Q♥4♥5♣ flop gave Yen top pair.
The 2♦ turn and 5♠ river provided no help to Steen, making him another casualty of Day 1a.
Stephen Kehoe made it 1,000 to go under the gun. Timur Margolin then three-bet to 3,000 in early position, and Eduardo Morentin called cold in middle position.
Kehoe quickly moved all in for 27,800 in response. Margolin folded, but Morentin called after requesting a count.
Stephen Kehoe: K♦K♣
Eduardo Morentin: J♥J♦
Kehoe's kings faced no threats on the 6♥7♠7♣9♥Q♠ runout, doubling him up and leaving Morentin with just under eight big blinds.
Cleider Machado raised to 1,100 in early position. Thomas M'bodj upped the ante to 4,000 as next to act, and Machado called once the action had folded back to him.
The 5♦5♣K♠ flop saw M'bodj continue for 3,000. Machado check-called to the 7♦ turn, prompting M'bodj to size up to 7,500.
It was enough to make Machado check-fold, securing another pot for M'bodj.
Rafael Felipe Loiola raised to 1,100 from middle position and Mengshi Tian three-bet to 3,100 from the hijack. Loiola came along with a call.
After Loiola checked the 7♥8♦J♦ flop, Tian fired a continuation-bet of 5,100, which Loiola opted to call.
Check, check followed on the 7♠ turn before the 5♦ completed the board. Loiola led out for 7,500, and Tian let it go.
