The second-last Day 1 flight of this series had a total of 191 registration slips sold by the end of late registration. Only 24 will be advancing onto Day 2 of the 136 runners that are left in the field.
The action was on the 
flop where Jennifer Abad put in a bet of around 3,500. Garry Henricks called, bringing the 
turn where Abad bet 7,000.
Henricks called once more and the dealer flipped over a 
to complete the board. Abad tapped the table, Henricks bet 20,000 and she check-called.
Henricks showed 
for a pair of ducks and Abad tabled her 
to take down the pot with cowboys.
