The remaining 30 contenders have been sent on a 15-minute break. Action will continued tonight until the last 15 players are left standing to bag for Day 2.
Michael Esquivel opened to 7,000 from under the gun, and Christopher Dandrea called on the button. Nathan Johnson came along in the big blind, and checked the J♠5♠4♦ flop.
Esquivel continued with a bet of 6,500, and Dandrea raised to 15,000. Johnson got out of the way, and Esquivel quickly stuck in the call.
The 7♠ turn produced a check from Esquivel, and Dandrea fired 10,000 into the middle. That was met with a fold from Esquivel, and Dandrea collected the chips.
Nathan Johnson opened to 6,000 in early position, and Christopher Dandrea called on the button. Chase Cocanougher slid in his last 7,000 chips, and both opponents called the extra 1,000.
Johnson and Dandrea checked through the J♥9♦6♣ flop, and the 9♥ hit the table. Johnson led out for 6,000, and Dandrea made the call.
The 8♠ river saw both players checked, and all three hands were revealed.
Chase Cocanougher: A♣J♦
Nathan Johnson: A♥K♠
Christopher Dandrea: 8♦7♠
Cocanougher showed jacks and nines to triple his short stack, while Dandrea claimed the side pot with his two pair.
Ray Parker limped in the cutoff, and Devon Sturges made the call from the small blind. Greg Raymer checked his big blind option, and Sturges checked the Q♠3♣9♣ flop.
Raymer followed with a check, and Parker fired 3,000 into the middle. Sturges folded, while Raymer called before checking the A♣ turn. Parker fired again, this time for 6,000.
That was enough to take down the pot, as Raymer let his hand go.
