After a preflop betting bonanza, Chris Ray got all of his chips into the middle against two other players, whom he covered.
Player 1: J♣10♠
Player 2: J♥J♦
Chris Ray: A♦Q♥
Player 2 was in the lead with his pocket jacks, but the flop of K♣Q♣5♣ was not good for him as it gave Ray a pair of queens and Player one an open-ended straight draw.
The runout of 2♠4♠ awarded Ray the pot while his two opponents hit the rail.

The players in Day 1b are now on their second 15-minute break of the day and registration for this flight will be closed upon their return.
The black 100 chips will also be raced off and colored-up at this time.
On a heads-up turn of 7♠A♣9♣5♣, all the chips got into the middle between Jacob Foley and Grant Hart, with Foley at risk.
Jacob Foley: 2♣3♣
Grant Hart: 7♣8♣
Things were not looking great for Foley as he held the inferior flush, but the miracle one out came as the 4♣ hit the river to give him a straight flush.
Hart was left shaking his head as the substantial pot was pushed over to Foley while he was left below starting stack.
