Benjamin Legrusley opened to 16,000 from the button. Samuel Ruiz in the small blind three-bet to 65,000, then Omar Lakhdari in the big blind counted his stack multiple times.
It seemed like he wanted either a bigger stack for Day 2 or to start all over again tomorrow, so he moved all in for approximately 210,000. The action went back to Legrusley who jammed for 1,100,000. Ruiz called off his remaining 540,000.
Omar Lakhdari: Q♣6♣ 
Samuel Ruiz: K♦K♣
Benjamin Legrusley: A♣K♠
Legrusley hit top pair on J♣A♦5♣ to take the lead while Lakhdari found a flush draw. He had a few more outs with the 6♥ turn but the 8♠ river kept Legrusley ahead.
As a result, Legrusley sent both Ruiz and Lakhdari to the rail on the bubble and bagged 1,836,000, six times the average stack.
Meanwhile, Antonio Alves doubled with 10♣10♥ through Ferdinando D'Alessio with A♣J♣.
