Lee Eliminates Khan; Assumes Chip Lead
Wow.
And just like that our Day 1 chipleader Hafiz Khan is gone. We noticed an empty seat where he was sitting and rushed over to get the details.
Apparently Ronald Lee and Khan got into a blind vs. blind preflop raising war. Khan was the first to go all in for roughly 80,000 after five-bet shoving from the big blind. Lee called and hands were revealed.
Lee: 
Khan: 
The board ran safe for Lee and he again scooped a massive pot - propelling him into the chiplead almost entirely at the cost of Khan.
Lee is sitting on a dominating 210,000 stack.

Solomon Slips
Action began with a player in the hijack position, who opened to 2,800 from the Jarred Solomon three-bet to 6,500 from the button and action folded back around to his opponent, who four-bet to 15,500. Undeterred, Solomon five-bet to 32,000 and his opponent called.
The flop came

turn and 
river.
Solomon's opponent revealed 
and it was good, as Solomon mucked without showing.
Solomon was knocked down to 87,000 as a result of the hand.
