Daniel Negreanu raised to 22,000 before calling a three-bet to 75,000 by Harvey Castro.

Castro tabled K♥5♥, which was no good versus the 8♥7♥ of Negreanu.
With no preflop action, Phil Hellmuth and Michael Mizrachi saw a 9♦4♦A♦ flop.
Hellmuth led out for 10,000, and Mizrachi made the call.
The 8♠ arrived on the turn, and Hellmuth continued with a bet of 25,000. Mizrachi wasted little time before calling once again.
When the K♣ completed the board, Hellmuth fired a third bet, this time for 40,000. Mizrachi called, sending the hand to a showdown.
Hellmuth tabled A♥5♦ for a pair of aces, but Mizrachi revealed 8♦4♠ for two pair, eights and fours, which was enough to earn him the pot.

Killian Desnos: 5♠5♣
Dimitar Danchev: K♥K♦
There was no great escape for Desnos, as the 3♣3♠9♦7♦A♣ board sealed his fate, and sent Danchev through to Day 2.

Justin Saliba raised to 20,000 on the button with 3♦2♦, and Masato Yokosawa called in the big blind with A♥3♠.

The 4♣ turn paired the board, and Yokosawa check-called for a second time, on this occasion for 23,000.
The J♠ completed the board, and Yokosawa opted for a third check-call, this time for a chunky 91,000. It was bad news, though, as Saliba tabled his straight, putting a clear distance between the stacks.
