Deven Lane open jammed from early position for about 50,000 before the action folded to Oksana Kuznichenko in the cutoff who sat in the tank for a moment before rejamming for about 120,000. The remaining players all gave it some thought but they all found a fold one by one.
The cards hit their backs and the table saw the ladies were flipping for win.
Deven Lane: A♠Q♣
Oksana Kuznichenko: J♠J♣
The full board ran out 9♣4♠10♣9♦3♠ and the pair of Jacks held for Kuznichenko to send Lane to the rail.

Jodie Dunfield opened in early position to 12,000 before James Pillon called on the button and the action was on Kevin Bergeron in the small blind. He took a moment to think before moving all in for his last 53,000. Dunfield got out of the way and then Pillon went in to the tank. He thought it over for about two minutes before sticking in the call.
The cards hit their backs with Bergeron all in and at risk.
Kevin Bergeron: 6♥6♦
James Pillon: A♣9♣
The full board ran out 7♥9♠5♣K♠2♣ and with a pair of nines Pillon sent Bergeron to the rail before the money.

Matthew Paplyk opened to 13,000 from early position before it folded to Larry Mansfield on the button who only took a minute before putting in a three-bet to 31,000. It folded back to Paplyk who thought it over for a moment before putting out a stack of chips large enough to put Mansfield all in.
He went deep into the tank and after about two minutes he called it off for his tournament life.
Larry Mansfield: A♠Q♣
Matthew Paplyk: A♥K♣
Paplyk would flop him almost dead on the 8♥K♥5♥ board. The A♣ turn would seal the deal and the 3♥ river only improved Paplyk to the nuts. Mansfield hit the rail about 25 from the money.

The floor has confirmed that all players that make Day 2 will be in the money. Although we are still 8 players away from the official Day 1c bubble of 125, they have started hand for hand play to avoid the need for tanking. When the clock hits zero, all players will find a bag and be in the money for Day 2.
Hand for Hand started with 20-minutes left on the clock with two minutes coming off for each hand. That means players can make an exact calculation of whether or not they can fold into the money over the 10 hands that were remaining.
Play has grinded to a halt and the big stacks are abusing the hard Day 2 bubble, as they should. Only one player has busted since it started and the players may not see another.
There are five hands left to be played before the bags.
