Fedor "CrownUpGuy" Holz: 
Michael "Imluckbox" Addamo: 
"Anjeyyy": 
"Anjeyyy" became the benefactor of a ten-high runout of 
, fading the wheel draw that both Addamo and Holz flopped as the two wound up eliminated from the tournament.
Hand #2: Scott "Aggro Santos" Margereson was in the hijack and opened to 55,000. Joris "BillLewinsky" Ruijs three-bet shoved for 530,000 in the small blind and Margereson called upon action making its way back to him.
Scott "Aggro Santos" Margereson: 
Joris "BillLewinsky" Ruijs: 
Ruijs found himself in a cooler situation and was in need of help as the flop came 
. The turn

: 12,500/25,000, 3,250 ante
2020 SCOOP Event 24-H Champion Mustapha "lasagnaaammm" Kanit jammed for 187,000 in early position and action folded around to Mike "SirWatts" Watson, who was in the big blind and called.
Mustapha "lasagnaaammm" Kanit:
Mike "SirWatts" Watson:
Kanit found himself having three direct outs and the flop 
took that number up to four despite giving Watson a pair of jacks. The turn then turned those four Broadway outs into chop outs, leaving his pair of tens in need of finding a third one to stay alive. It did not come on the river and Kanit was eliminated from the tournament.
