A roar came over the tournament field as a hand that took place between Day 1b chip leader Quan Donot Nguyen and Mason Vieth took place.
According to Brian Lee, Vieth had told Nguyen he would call dark if Nguyen jammed in the dark when they were both in the blinds. Action folded to Nguyen, and he shoved for roughly 300,000, and Vieth, true to his word, called.
Nguyen held 
to Vieth's 
, and Nguyen held up to double back above 600,000, while the two shared a laugh at how they both held up their end of the gentleman's agreement to gamble and gamble hard.

Kevin Rand opened to 18,000 from early position and was called by Brian Lee in middle position. Jesse Solano was in the cutoff and three-bet to 63,000, getting a fold from Rand. Lee called.
The flop came 
and Lee checked. Solano bet 55,000 and Lee let his hand go.
On the next hand, Rand was seen scoring a knockout after cold-calling a player's three-bet shove for around 220,000.

The board ran out clean and Rand finds himself over 800,000 as a result of the pot.

Lokesh Garg, Andy Hobson, and Tim Gilliam were all three all-in preflop, with Garg in for 50,000 from middle position, Gilliam in for 61,000 from the small blind, and Hobson had both of them at risk from the hijack.
Lokesh Garg:
Tim Gilliam: 
Andy Hobson: 
Gilliam held on the 
flop, but the 
turn gave both Garg and Hobson top pair, and also gave Garg the nut flush draw. Gilliam found lightning in a bottle when the 
hit the river, however, and he took down the pot to nearly triple up, while Garg was busted and Hobson was left short.
