The preflop action culminated in Mihai Niste putting in 225,000 from hijack and Jalal Jafari calling in the small blind. Jafari then promptly put Niste all-in for 1,130,000, twice the size of the pot, on the 8♣3♠A♦ flop, which he snap-called.
Mihai Niste: A♥A♣
Jalal Jafari: A♠9♠
Jafari needed running spades to best the top set of Niste, but he was left drawing dead after the 10♦ turn. The 3♦ river was rendered meaningless as Niste stacked up a massive mountain of chips.

Aren Bezhanyan shoved his 300,000 into the middle from early position and Kevin Houghton made the call to try and bust him.
Aren Bezhanyan: A♥3♥
Kevin Houghton : Q♣Q♦
Bezhanyan was looking for some hearts or an ace to have a chance of bagging up at the end of this level. The dealer burned a card then put out the flop of A♣4♣9♦, catapulting Bezhanyan into the lead with top pair. The rest of the board came A♠7♠ and Bezhanyan doubled at the expense of Houghton.

All dealers have been instructed to deal four more hands before Day 1c wraps up.
A completed board of 9♣A♥9♣2♣5♥ was in the middle in a pot between Juan Corral under the gun and Kevin Houghton in middle postion, along with a massive pot of 1,500,000.
Corral then jammed all in, covering the 625,000 chips of Houghton and sending him into the tank. After spending all his time banks, Houghton eventually found a fold, seeing the large pile of chips being sent to Corral.
One hand later, Raoul Kanme opened to 60,000 in the cutoff. Aren Bezhanyan then committed his stack of 395,000 from the small blind, which Corral four-bet to 740,000 in the big blind, enough to put Kanme all-in.
Kanme weighed his options for a bit before getting out of the way, leaving the other two players to show down.
Aren Bezhanyan: K♥9♣
Juan Corral: A♦Q♥
Bezhanyan took the lead on the 9♠6♣5♦ flop, but Corral retaliated on the Q♦ turn, making the higher pair. The 5♣ river upgraded both players to two pair, with Corral's queens and fives taking the pot and eliminating his opponent.
