Ruoxiao Shi raised to 1,600 in the hijack, which only Rusen Mat called in the big blind.
Shi continued for 2,000 on a 8♣10♠2♥ flop, which Mat check-called.
The 4♣ turn joined the board, and when Mat checked for a second time, Shi barreled for 6,000. This time, Mat folded.
Frederick Schwartz from the big blind and Colin Hong from the button saw a completed board of Q♠5♦4♠7♦2♠ with just under 30,000 in the middle already.
Schwartz would then lead all-in with an overbet of 35,500, sending Hong deep into the tank, who covered by around 10,000.
After a couple minutes, Hong folded 7♥7♣ face-up, unable to make the call after turning a set. Schwartz then windmilled A♠6♥ onto the table, as he turned his missed open-ended straight draw into a bluff on the river with the naked ace of spades, and the table erupted at the courageous bluff of Schwartz who was able to get it through.
The action was picked up on a board of 9♠5♠6♥J♦K♣ with 9,500 in the pot. Daniel Chalifour under the gun bet 5,000 before Mike Hayter on the button moved all-in.
Chalifour went into the tank for several minutes, while Hayter was talking to him to try to influence his decision. A player called the clock at some point. "No, let him do," replied Hayter.
After another minute, Chalifour eventually folded K♦J♠ face up. “Good bluff,” he said to Hayter. “That’s crazy,” another player remarked.
On a flop of A♠6♦5♠, Peter Sechopoulos check-raised from the small blind to 4,800, and Sirish Shetty called from under the gun.
The turn brought the K♥ as Sechopoulos continued for 5,500, and Shetty called once more.
On the repeat K♣ river, both players checked as Sechopoulos tabled A♦5♦ for a flopped two pair that was counterfeit on the river. Shetty was able to showdown A♣J♥ for the winner as his kicker played, and he collected the pot.
There was 18,600 in the middle on a flop that read Q♣6♥10♠ when this hand was picked up.
Alec Torelli checked it from the small blind before Jamie Harding opted to go all-in for 15,100 from the hijack. Torelli wasted no time making the call as Harding was at risk for his tournament life.
Jamie Harding: 10♥9♥
Alec Torelli: K♥K♦
Harding was in trouble against the overpair of Torelli, but he did have outs despite the deficit.
The 6♠ turn was a detrimental card for Harding as it eliminated some of his outs.
There was no miracle on the 7♠ river as Torelli took down a healthy pot and continued to build his stack on Day 1c.
William Godbout opened to 1,700 from under the gun before Anthony Kim three-bet to 4,500 on the button. Godbout made the call.
The A♠Q♥5♣ flop led to a check from Godbout before Kim bet 2,500. Godbout check-raised to 8,000, and Kim stayed in the hand with a call.
Godbout changed course when he checked on the 6♦ turn. Kim bet 6,500, and Godbout called.
It was checked over to Kim again on the 8♠ river. Kim put out a bet of 19,000, and Godbout flicked out a green chip for the call.
Kim tabled A♥Q♣ for two pair as Godbout mucked his hand in response.
Lukas Hafner completed from the small blind, and Arturas Astrauskas raised to 2,100 from the big blind. Hafner called.
The 9♥7♦4♣ flop checked through before the 4♥ arrived on the turn. Hafner bet 1,700, and Astrauskas called.
The 10♦ completed the board, and Hafner fired 6,000. Astrauskas thought it over before eventually folding, flashing A♥J♦ for ace-high as he did.
Hafner declined to reveal his hand and instead quietly stacked his newly acquired chips.
On a flop of J♠8♦5♦ with just under 5,000 in the middle, Hai Nguyen bet 2,200 from the cutoff before Stacy Sesate check-jammed for her remaining 17,000 from the big blind, and Nguyen quickly called as the slightly covering stack.
Stacy Sesate: 8♠8♣
Hai Nguyen: J♦9♥
Sesate flopped a set of eights against the top pair of Nguyen who could not get away. She took her phone out to record the moment, and it was all over on the K♠ turn as Nguyen was drawing dead to the 2♥ river, and Sesate secured the full double.
Nguyen was left with just 1,500 and eliminated shortly after.
James Miles raised to 1,500 under the gun, and only Justin Warner called in the big blind.
Warner checked-called a continuation bet of 1,000 on a 2♠10♣J♣ flop, but check-folded on the 8♥ turn when Miles bet another 5,000.
Action was picked up as Mengqi Chen who was in early position was all in for 40,000 against Ron Fetsch in the small blind.
Mengqi Chen: A♥K♦
Ron Fetsch: J♣J♥
The board ran out A♠4♥Q♣6♦Q♦, and Chen doubled.
