On a flop reading 9♦7♦6♣ and with about 70,000 already in the middle, Sosia Jiang jammed first to act into Shaun Deeb. Deeb was in the tank considering his action and after burning through a timebank, he arrived at a call, putting Jiang at risk and setting up a runout.
Sosia Jiang: K♦Q♦
Shaun Deeb: A♣5♣
Deeb was ahead with two cards to come, but that would change immediately as the dealer placed the Q♠ on the turn. The 9♣ completed the board and locked up a full double for Jiang.

Ryan Riess raised to 55,000 from under the gun, only leaving himself 5,000 behind. A player in late position called before action came to Ben Yu who decided on a three-bet jam for around 100,000.

Ryan Riess: A♣9♠
Ben Yu: A♠K♠
The board ran out A♦10♣J♣6♠K♣, locking the pot up for Yu and sending Riess out the door with no Day 2 appearance.
