Level 15
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
A player from early position jammed for his final 115,000 and was called by Andrew Tran on the button to be at risk.
Opponent: A♦K♦
Andrew Tran: A♥J♥
Tran needed help to overcome the better ace of his opponent, and the flop brought immediate assistance as it came 5♣2♥J♣ to give Tran the lead.
The J♦ turn ended any hopes for his opponent as the irrelevant 4♠ hit the river.

Ashley Frank: Q♣10♠
Frank needed help to overcome the ace high or her opponent, but the flop brought little to work with as it came 7♠3♣2♥.

: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Spenser Sembrat drew the line in the sand when he jammed for 107,000 from the hijack. The cutoff also chose to go all-in for less with a shove for 79,000. Terrance Reid woke up with a hand and chose to make the call to put Sembrat and the cutoff at risk.
Cutoff: 10♠10♦
Spenser Sembrat: J♣J♠
Terrance Reid: A♣Q♠
Sembrat was in the lead as they went to a runout, but he needed to fade overcards and a ten to stay in contention.
The flop was an immediate relief for Sembrat when it came J♥3♥6♣ to give Sembrat top set.
Sembrat stayed ahead on the 4♦ turn and the 7♣ river to secure nearly a triple up in the late stages of Day 1a.
Reid was eliminated shortly after, as he was seen leaving the tournament area a couple of hands after his loss to Sembrat.

: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
The board read 3♦4♣5♦K♦ before David Leach out of the small blind, and David Leach from under the gun got the chips in the middle with Leach at risk on the turn.
David Leach: K♥6♥
Bruce Nguyen: K♠Q♥
Nguyen was ahead, but Leach had plenty of outs with a straight draw and two pair outs.
Nguyen was fortunate enough to fade his opponent's outs as the river bricked to award Nguyen the pot.

: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
The hand began with a limp from a player in middle position before the button chose to go all-in for 140,000. RunGood Poker Series Ambassador Kris Burchfield went all-in for 127,000 to be at risk after the limper folded.
Kris Burchfield: A♣A♦
Opponent: A♠Q♣
Burchfield was well ahead, but the flop gave his opponent a glimmer of hope as it came J♥Q♠3♥ to give his opponent a pair. The 9♦ turn and the 3♠ river did not upset Burchfield's aces as he secured the double.
