Casey Sandretto opened the cutoff to 6,500 before the big blind jammed for 36,000 and Sandretto beat him into the pot.
Big Blind: A♥7♦ 
Casey Sandretto: Q♥Q♦
Sandretto picked up a premium at the right time and held through the J♦10♣2♠7♣Q♠ runout as the Day 1b field ticks below 35 players.
Level 10: Blinds 1,000/2,000
Phil Hellmuth III, son of the poker Hall of Famer, limped under the gun. The player next to act raised to 6,000 and the hijack called. With the action back on Hellmuth, he limp-jammed for 34,000. The original raiser tank-folded before the hijack snapped it off.
Phil Hellmuth III: J♠J♦
Hijack: A♥K♣
It was a classic race with Hellmuth staying ahead on the 6♦6♣5♠ flop. He held through the Q♠9♠ runout as the fabled limp-jam worked wonders.

A total of 109 entries were tallied in this evening's flight, and the final 14 will advance to Monday's Day 2.

A player on the button jammed for 74,000 and Jasthi Kumar called in the small blind.
Button: Q♥J♥
Jasthi Kumar: Q♦10♦
The button was primed for the double with the dominating hand on the A♦9♠7♥ flop until the 10♣ turn vaulted Kumar into the lead. He stayed ahead on the A♠ river to burst the bubble as the remaining players bag up for Monday's Day 2.
With 19 players remaining and 18 being in the money, play will continue hand-for-hand until someone is eliminated.
Ryan Awwad opened the hijack to 16,000 before Brett Murray jammed for 86,000 from the button. The player in the big blind then rejammed and Awwad folded.
Brett Murray: A♥K♠
Big Blind: K♦K♣
Murray was unfortunate to run into kings but still had three live outs. He couldn't find any help on the 10♠10♦4♣7♦6♣ as he hit the rail three from the money.
