Big Blind:
Under the Gun: 
The board ran out 
and with the ace on the turn hitting for Newton and his queen kicker coming in to play, he busted out both opponents shortly before the dinner break.
The players have just been sent on a 75-minute dinner break and play will resume at 7:55 p.m. There are currently 1,909 entries in the tournament and late registration will close at the end of the dinner break.
Cards are back in the air in the Paris Ballroom and registration is now closed.
Currently there are 2,021 registered for Day 1b which is more than double the number of entries in Day 1a and more than the entries combined for the 2021 equivalent.
There is still a line in the center of Paris Ballroom of late registrants waiting to be assigned a seat, so the final number of entries is not confirmed.
After Vincent Lam opened from the hijack to 6,000, the cutoff moved all in for his last 21,500. The big blind tanked for a bit before making the laydown, leaving the action on Lam. He thought for a minute or two before tossing in the call.
Cutoff: 
Lam: 
The two were flipping, but Lam quickly pulled ahead when the 
appeared in the window of the 
board, not to mention him picking up a flush draw. Lam was already more than a 9:1 favorite, and the 
turn improved him to a set, leaving his opponent with just two outs. The 
completed the board and filled up Lam's boat. He scooped the pot and scored the knockout.
