O'Neil Wins Battle of the Blinds
Action folded to Yueqi Zhu in the small blind who raised and was met by a three-bet from William O'Neil in the big blind. Zhu made the call to send the two players heads-up to the initial draw.
On the first draw, Zhu took three cards while O'Neil drew one. Zhu then check-called a bet from the initial raiser.
The second draw saw Zhu take two cards to O'Neil's one and again Zhu checked. O'Neil bet out and was called by Zhu.
Zhu took one more card on the final draw and O'Neil stood pat. Action checked through and Zhu showed a pair of fours, which fell to O'Neil's

Benyamine Makes the Call
David Benyamine raised from the button and was three-bet in the small blind by Dominik Baud. Benyamine called and both players patted after the second draw. Baud continued to bet and was called by Benyamine to the last draw, where Baud threw out a bet before Benyamine patted the table. "I have to call" said Benyamine, "you're in such a rush to bet". It was the correct play, as Benyamine showed his number five to take down the pot.

Denisov Fires Back
After an unfortunate misdeal cost him 1,500 in the previous hand, Vladislav Denisov raised from the button and was called by Dominik Baud out of the big blind.
Baud took two cards to Denisov's three on the initial draw, after which Baud checked. Denisov threw out a bet and Baud called to send the two players to the next draw.
On the second draw, both players took one card and Baud checked once again. Denisov did not slow down, however, instead firing off another bet, eliciting a fold from Baud and bringing Denisov back up above starting stack.

Negreanu Enters Field
Daniel Negreanu has entered the tournament and did not wait long before jumping into the action. Negreanu opened under the gun and action folded to Cody Espeseth in the big blind, who defended.
Both players took two cards on the initial draw and action then checked through to the second draw where again Negreanu and Espeseth each drew two. Espeseth then led into Negreanu, which was enough to take down a small pot early.
