Dennis Weiss raised to 70,000 from the hijack before Raphael Schreiner three-bet to 240,000 from the cutoff with just a few big blinds behind. Martin Dam potted it out of the big blind, forcing Weiss to fold. Schreiner called for the last of his chips, and players went to a showdown.
Raphael Schreiner: A♦Q♠6♦5♠
Martin Dam: A♥A♠5♥2♣
Schreiner would need to come from behind and crack the aces of Dam if he was to stand of chance of making it through Day 1a.
Dam's pair of aces stayed best through the 7♣J♦9♦J♣K♣ runout, and all of Schreiner's chips were sent over to Dam.

After some raising back and forth, Sinan Unlu got all of his chips across the betting line with Jeremy Trojand trying to win them all.
Sinan Unlu: A♦K♥K♦6♥
Jeremy Trojand: A♥Q♣J♥8♠
Unlu had kings, but the Q♥8♥5♥ flop meant he was almost drawing dead as Trojand hit the nut flush.
Unlu needed running cards to a boat to win, but it wasn't to be as the remainder of the board came J♦2♠ and Unlu was the next elimination of the Main Event.

Oswin Ziegelbecker opened from early position and Michael Komatz jammed from the button for around 90,000. Ziegelbecker was quick to call when it folded back around to him.
Michael Komatz: K♥K♦2♥2♣
Oswin Ziegelbecker: A♠A♥J♦2♦
Ziegelbecker moved even further ahead after the J♠A♦3♣ flop by improving to a set of aces. Komatz's elimination was sealed once the 6♦ came on the turn, as the 3♦ to complete the board was just a necessity.
