The action was picked up on a flop of 5♦9♣3♦ after Bernhard Binder under the gun bet 8,000 and Ryo Hara in the big blind moved all-in for 64,000. Binder went into the tank and called.
Ryo Hara: 6♠4♥ 
Bernhard Binder: K♦8♦
Hara was looking for a straight while Binder had a flush was. The J♠A♦ runout completed the flush and Hara was eliminated.
Alisson Piekazewicz kicked things off in middle position and a raise of 4,500. Roeland Peeks in the cutoff made it 15,000. When action was back on Piekazewicz, he called.
On the 9♦7♦8♦ flop, Piekazewicz fired another bet of 9,000, and Peeks called.
With the 6♥ on the turn, Piekazewicz didn't step back; he made a bet of 13,500, prompting another call from Peeks.
When the dealer turned the J♠ on the river, Piekazewicz continued for 20,000. Peeks went into a small tank but called. Piekazewicz showed 8♣7♣ for two pair, which was enough for Peeks, as his cards quickly found the muck.
Sergio Fernandez raised it up on the button and Chongxian Yang shipped all in for his last 27,000 from the big blind. Fernandez wasted little time before making the call to put Yang at risk.
Chongxian Yang: K♦10♥
Sergio Fernandez: A♦K♥
The flop came Q♦J♣5♥ and Yang picked up a few additional outs. However, the 6♥ on the turn and the 8♦ on the river changed nothing and Fernandez scooped the pot with ace-high.
Zhiyuan Xu went all-in from the button for his 27,500 chip stack. In the small blind, Maximiliano Gallardo obliged and they were off to see five.
Zhiyuan Xu: 5♣5♦
Maximiliano Gallardo: J♦J♣
Xu could not find a five on the K♦Q♥3♣J♥7♠ run out, and he was headed to the rail.
Martin Kabrhel was seen standing up as his chips were pushed toward Nicholas Verderamo.
Martin Kabrhel: 10♠10♣
Nicholas Verderamo: K♣K♦
Kabrhel ran into kings on 9♣4♣7♥8♣5♥, but he seemed more focused on his next bullet than the bustout.
"Now I want to register in the money," he said, before adding that he "wanted a refund for this bullet" because he "didn't enjoy it".
Garrett Thompson opened the action from the cutoff with a raise of 4,500. Connor Rash in the big blind three-bet to around 100,000, and Thompson went all in.
Garrett Thompson: A♠A♥
Connor Rash: A♦7♥
Thompson was ahead, and the 5♣2♥A♣ flop improved his hand even more. The 5♦ on the turn gave him a full house and sealed the deal, whilst the 6♥ river was just mandatory. Thompson scooped a decent double-up.
On a flop of 10♠6♦4♠, Ran Ilani and Patrick Sacrispeyre were heads-up in the pot. The two players quickly got all of their chips in the middle and it was Sacrispeyre at risk for around 40,000 chips.
Patrick Sacrispeyre: A♠J♠
Ran Ilani: 6♠6♣
Ilani flopped a set of sixes but was up against the flush draw of Sacrispeyre. The 3♦ on the turn and the J♣ on the river were not enough to help Sacrispeyre who was eliminated late on Day 1.
Colby Covington raised from the hijack to 4,000 and was called by Jason Min in the small blind. From the big blind, Walter Ripper went all-in for 40,000. Covington folded, and Min made the call.

Linyang Song: A♠J♦
Taylor Paur: K♠K♥
The board ran out J♠10♠5♦5♥2♠ and Paur sent Song to the rail.
Lander Lijo in the big blind saw his 67,500-chip stack being called by Srikanth Yadlapati on the button.
Lander Lijo: A♥Q♣
Srikanth Yadlapati: 5♥5♠
Even if the dealer pointed the queen on 8♦3♠6♣5♦Q♠, Yadlapati's set of fives won and Lijo was eliminated.
