Ryan Awwad: A♠Q♦
Travis Fujisaka: J♦J♥
Fujisaka held the lead going in, but the flop gave Awwad plenty of outs as it came 8♠K♠5♠.

Tsz Liu began the hand with a raise to 12,000 from early position. Dan Stavila opted to re-raise for 88,000, leaving only 6,000 behind from the small blind, which led to an all-in from Allison De Souza in the big blind. Liu folded, and Stavila called to put himself at risk.

Daniel Chang: K♥Q♣
Anubhav Jolly: A♦2♦
Jolly held the slight lead and enjoyed the benefit of flopping best as the flop fanned out 8♦7♦10♣ to give Jolly a flush draw.
The Q♠ was just the card Chang hoped for as it vaulted him into the lead with one card to go, but the river was cruel to Chang as it came the 6♦ to upgrade Jolly to a flush and eliminate Chang from Day 1b.

Tran showed A♣10♣ for two pairs. Liu folded without showing.

Cheryl Svenson: A♥A♦
Lian Liu: A♠K♣
Svenson had Liu in rough shape as they went into the runout, and the board did not compromise Svenson's position as it came 5♣10♣4♥6♥3♥ to award Svenson the double.
