Jerwin Pasco moved all in from early position for 151,000. Yosuke Sekiya was in the hijack and moved all in for around half that. The big blind asked for a count. "I wish I had less," he said, sitting on a stack of 300,000. He eventually folded and the cards were turned over.
Jerwin Pasco: 
Yosuke Sekiya: 
The board ran out 
and Sekiya wished Pasco good luck and was eliminated.

Players are going on their final break of the night. When they return there will be three more levels before they bag for the end of Day 1a.
Eric Bunch opened to 30,000 and Maxime Heroux moved all in for 167,000. The remaining players folded and Bunch counted out his stack to find he covered Heroux by just 500 chips. After some thought, Bunch called.
Eric Bunch: 
Maxime Heroux: 
Heroux looked in good shape to leave Bunch with just 500 chips, but the 
flop gave Bunch the lead. The turn 
and river 
changed nothing and Heroux was eliminated.
Another player was also eliminated meaning that there were 193 players left, no need for hand-for-hand and the first flight of the GIANT is officially in the money!
Level: 18
Blinds: 6,000/12,000
Ante: 2,000

Adam Owen moved all in from early position for around 60,000. A player in middle position three-bet all in over the top. The remaining players folded.
Adam Owen:
Opponent: 
There was no help for the Brit on the 
run out and he was eliminated shortly before the money bubble in Flight 1a was reached.
