Over at Darren Elias's table, a player raised to 8,000 from middle position, another player three-bet to 26,000, and Elias four-bet for his entire stack of 120,000.

The original raiser folded, but the three-better asked for a count and considered the decision for a moment before also throwing his hand in the muck. Elias is up to 160,000. He shares a table with 2013 Main Event champion Ryan Riess, who currently has 190,000.

Elky Grospellier
Elky Grospellier

Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier sits on a formidable stack as Day 1 heads to the final levels.

A recent hand saw the action fold to Grospellier in the small blind, and the longtime tournament pro took full advantage of the situation.

Grospellier raised to 62,500, almost covering the stack of his big blind opponent. The big blind player laughed, then turned up the {7-Diamonds} as he mucked.

Grospellier neared the 100 big blind mark after taking the small pot.
