Dustin An was all in and at risk from under the gun for roughly 1,200,000 and was up against Caleb Levesque in the big blind.
Dustin An: K♦K♠ 
Caleb Levesque: J♥J♦
The players saw a 4♠5♣9♠8♥9♣ runout. An was happy to see a new pile of chips pushed in his direction.
With around 525,000 already in the pot and the board showing 6♠J♥3♣8♦A♦, action was picked up on the river with Tom Hall having 380,000 in front of him in the hijack.
Kharlin Sued, facing the bet, responded with a raise to 800,000, leaving himself just a handful of chips behind. Hall took a moment but eventually flicked in the call.
Sued tabled A♣J♣ for top two pair, and Hall could only nod as the pot was pushed Sued’s way, giving him a boost to his stack.
Luis Manzo moved all in from the hijack for his last 215,000, and Sang Ho reshoved from the small blind to isolate. The big blind considered coming along but ultimately folded, sending Manzo and Ho to a heads-up showdown.
Luis Manzo: A♣9♦
Sang Ho: K♠Q♥
The board ran out 5♥5♦2♠6♣8♥, offering no help to either player, and Manzo’s ace-high held firm to earn him a much-needed double-up.
Pablo Martin four-bet all in from the small blind with 635,000 chips and was called by Daniel Lakerveld.
Pablo Martin: A♦K♦
Daniel Lakerveld: A♣A♠
The runout of K♥5♦J♣2♠3♠ brought Martin a pair on the flop, but he didn't improve enough to crack Lakerveld's aces.
Julio Trimmer raised to 85,000 from middle position. Robert Fluereci then went all in and was at risk from the small blind for 650,000, and Trimmer made the call.
Robert Fluereci: 2♣2♥
Julio Trimmer: A♣J♥
The board ran out Q♥9♦8♥9♠7♦, securing a timely double up for Fluereci to start the day.
Nicholas Olivetti open jammed all in for 430,000 from early position and was snap called by Ronnie Bardah in late position.
Nicholas Olivetti A♠7♣
Ronnie Bardah: K♥K♠
No help for Olivetti on the J♦4♥2♦10♥6♥ runout, and it was his time to defrag and move on.
Scott Fitzhugh was the big blind for the first hand of play and immediately went all in with his last 100,000 chips. Jeremy Eyer made the call from the button.
Scott Fitzhugh: 7♣2♦
Jeremy Eyer: K♣10♣
The worst starting hand in poker got even worse on the flop of 10♦K♥5♦, as Eyer was in a dominating position with two pair immediately, and the 3♣J♠ turn and river didn't change anything.
Level: 23
Blinds: 20,000/40,000
Ante: 40,000
