With the board reading 4♠Q♣K♥K♦5♣ and around 5,500 already in the middle, Fabian Niederreiter checked from the small blind over to Brian Ng on the button.
Ng slid out a bet of 3,000, and after a brief pause to consider his options, Niederreiter gave it up.
Yuriy Kudrynskyy made it 600 to go from the cutoff and only Tan Le called from the button.
Kudrynskyy continued with a bet of 600 on the 8♦J♠2♣ flop, and Le slid in the call.
The 9♦ turn checked through for the 7♠ to roll off on the river.
Kudrynskyy bet 800, and Le immediately raised to 1,800. Kudrynskyy quickly released, awarding the pot to Le.
Curt Kohlberg put in a three-bet to 2,500 from the button and Tracy Robinson called in the hijack.
Kohlberg continued for 1,500 on the 6♦10♣6♠ flop and Robinson called. Both players then checked the 4♦ turn.
Robinson led out for 2,500 on the Q♠ river and Kohlberg quickly folded.
Arin Youssefian opened from under the gun and was called by Joe Kuether in the big blind.
On the Q♦J♠7♣ flop, Kuether checked it to Youssefian who bet 400 before Kuether check-raised to 1,500, and Youssefian called.
Kuether then checked again on the 9♣ turn. Youssefian put out a bet of 1,200 before Kuether check-raised once again to 5,500, and Youssefian laid it down after a small tank.
Julio Esquivel threw in a 500 chip, and once it had already hit the felt, he said raise. The player directly to his left promptly let the dealer know that he must announce a raise before he acts. Esquivel didn't take issue with the situation, happy just to live and learn.
The player to his left then folded, but Thomas Roach, in the small blind, called before Travis Davis raised from the big blind to 1,100.
Esquivel possibly didn't like how the stars were aligning in this early hand, and chose just to fold. Roach called, and the two blinds took a flop.
The action was short and sweet from there. Davis continued with a bet of 1,400 on a 10♠3♠J♦ flop, and Roach pitched his cards back to the dealer.
With a full board of 5♥A♦A♥2♥Q♥ showing and with roughly 25,000 in the pot, Clement Bonnant checked first from the small blind, and Liubomyr Melnyk checked from under the gun.
Jose Fibla bet 17,000 from the hijack, and was met by a check-raise to 40,000 by Bonnant. Melnyk quickly folded, but Fibla went into the tank. After nearly two minutes, Fibla folded and showed 5♦5♠ for a flopped boat. Bonnant allowed the table to pick one of his cards to turn over, and they chose the Q♠.
Vivian Saliba bet 800 on the Q♥J♥6♦ flop against two opponents. The small blind folded and Pedro Safar put in the call from the big blind.
On the 2♣ turn, Saliba sized up to 2,200 and Safar put in the call once more before the 2♦ river checked through.
Pedro Safar: 7♥4♥
Vivian Saliba: 7♣6♣
Safar had a missed flush draw while Saliba got some value across two streets after flopping bottom pair.
Only a few hands into Day 1d, Mark Blake had opened from the hijack and called a three-bet to 4,100 from Brett Feder in the small blind.
Feder continued for 4,000 on the 7♥A♥7♣ flop. Blake promptly announced his all in, wagering over 275 big blinds. Blake shrugged before he quickly called off.
Mark Blake: A♠K♦ 
Brett Feder: A♦K♥
Both players had the same hand, and the A♣J♠ board gave them a full house to chop up the pot.
Jean Autran raised to 600 under the gun. It folded to Scott Bohlman in the big blind, who defended.
The 5♣7♥7♠ flop checked through to the 10♥ turn. Bohlman led out for 2,000, a slight over-bet. Autran called to the 5♥ turn, where Bohlman put in 15,000 for a bet nearly three times the size of the pot.
Autran did not need long before he mucked his cards, surrendering the early pot to Bohlman.
