In the first hand we saw, Blake Bohn raised to 24,000, Peixin Liu called in the hijack, and Kyle Wagner shoved all in. With action back on Bohn, he moved all in over the top of Wagner. Liu quickly called for his own tournament life
Bohn:
Liu: 
Wagner: 
The board ran out 
, keeping Liu's pocket aces in the lead. Liu scored the triple up, Wagner was left with only 18,000, and Bohn was left with 700,000.
In the very next hand, Wagner shoved all in in middle position, John Joachim called in the small blind, and Dave Carey called in the big blind.
Both active players checked the 
flop. Joachim check-called a bet of 20,000 on the 
turn.
The river was the 
. Joachim checked, Carey shoved all in and Joachim called.
Joachim: 
Wagner: 
Carey: 
Wagner's pair of nines was no good and he was eliminated from play in 20th place. Carey shows trip treys, but they were no good as well, as Joachim tabled a club flush. Joachim scored the double elimination and now has about 260,000 to his name.

With about 350,000 already in the middle, we found Jeff Bryan all in and at risk against Justin Thurlow and Ken Coy.
Thurlow and Coy remained active in a side pot. They both checked the 
flop and did the same on the 
turn.
The river was the 
. Thurlow bet 147,000. Coy double checked his cards and called.
Thurlow showed for the nut flush, besting Bryan who had flopped a set of jacks with 
. Coy showed for a pair of nines before his hand was pulled into the muck.
Bryan fell in 17th place while Thurlow increased his stack to 1,350,000 and extended his chip lead.

Justin Thurlow raised to 34,000 from middle position only to have Ken Coy three-bet to 80,000 from the next seat over.
Action folded back to Thurlow and he thought about it for a minute or so before asking Coy for a count. Upon hearing the 600,000 total, he started thinking again and sighed heavily.
"The next time you do that, I am piling on you. I swear to God, the next time," Thurlow said to Coy looking him dead in the eye while simultaneously pushing his cards forward into the muck.
