With registration now closed, a total of 851 entries for Flight A is in the books with 681 players returning from the break.
Level: 4
Blinds: 300/500
Ante: 500
Players go onto their first break of the day, lasting 20 minutes.
Play will resume at 2:30 p.m. local time.
Benjamin Ector's cutoff shove was called by Will "The Thrill" Failla on the button, who waited for the blinds to get out of the way before announcing "I have quads," and tabling his cards.
Will Failla: 9♥9♦
Benjamin Ector: A♥A♣
Failla's prophecy seemed on track to come true, as the 9♠5♥8♦ flop gave him a commanding lead. The 5♦ boated Failla up, as Ector commented that his opponent was "still on for quads," seemingly accepting his fate.
The river did not bring in the case nine, but Failla was unbothered as the 4♠ sealed his double.

Three players were in a hand when action was picked up with Aaron Johnson, in late position, raising to 3,400 on a board of Q♠J♥5♦4♠ and with a pot of around 6,000. John Juanda, in early position, replied with an all-in shove for 16,700 sending Brandon Sunshine to the tank. He ultimately folded the action back to Johnson, who made the call.
John Juanda: 5♥5♠
Aaron Johnson: Q♥J♣
Juanda had caught a set on the flop against Johnson's top two pair. Still with minimal outs Johnson watch the dealer complete the board with 4♠A♦ which didn't help him at all. Juanda scooped the pot as he asked Sunshine what he had. Sunshine replied with king-queen.
