As Drew Hart completed busting a player with ace king over ace queen, his tablemate Kyle Goodman commented on Hart's sun run.
"This guy was on the verge. 104,000, 108,000 something like that. Then he cracks my tens with his eights when he spikes an eight on the river. Then he won with a boat over my flush. Then he knocks out this guy!" Goodman said, shaking his head and laughing.

A player in the hijack raised to 13,000, the cutoff three-bet to 33,000 and Corey Paggeot elected to four-bet jam for his remaining 145,000. The action was back on the original raiser who ended this preflop war by five-betting all in for 176,000 forcing the cutoff to relinquish their hand.
Corey Paggeot: A♥Q♠
Hijack: A♦K♠
The board ran out 5♣6♣3♦Q♦4♦. A turned queen saved Paggeot as the players approach the end of Day 1.
