Alan Percal raised to 10,000 under the gun and was called by Jonathon Murphy in the hijack and Jasper May in the big blind.
Percal continued for 10,000 on the 9♦5♥4♠ flop, and Murphy then raised to 20,000. May folded, while Percal called.
The turn was the 3♥ and Murphy bet 30,000. Percal considered the decision for a few minutes before calling, and they both checked the 2♦ river.
Murphy showed 9♠9♥ for a set, and Percal mucked.
James Rion moved all in for 41,000 in the hijack and Jonathon Murphy put him at risk in middle position.
James Rion: 8♣8♠
Jonathon Murphy: K♠Q♦
Rion was racing for his tournament life, and he held on through the 3♥J♠5♠7♠6♦ board to earn a double up off the chip leader.
A player in the cutoff raised to 11,000 before Kevin Johnson moved all in for 51,000 on the button. John Frenz then reshoved in the small blind, and the cutoff got out of the way.
Kevin Johnson: 5♠5♦
John Frenz: K♥K♣
Frenz had woken up with two kings and had Johnson dominated, but the J♦9♥5♥ flop gave Johnson a set and the lead. The rest of the board ran out 4♠7♥, and Johnson doubled up.
"You're the fifth person to sit in that seat today. The other four didn't last very long," Charles Edlin said to Johnson.
Day 1d, the fourth and final starting flight, has begun with 32 players currently registered.
The small blind three-bet to 24,000 and James Carrico called under the gun, as did the button.
The flop came 6♦3♠2♦ and the small blind moved all in for 100,000. Carrico also shoved with a near-identical stack, and the button took about 30 seconds before folding.
All-In Player: A♣K♥
James Carrico: 6♣6♥
Carrico turned over top set to leave his opponent drawing thin. The 5♣ turn left open the possibility of a chop, but Carrico held on through the J♥ river to send his opponent to the rail.
