Ajayi Eliminated by Noguera

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Adedapo Ajayi
Adedapo Ajayi

After an open to 100,000 from middle position, Albert Nguyen called on the button, Adedapo Ajayi called in the small blind, and Nicolas Noguera defended the big blind.

The {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop was checked to the {6-Spades} turn. Ajayi bet, and only Noguera continued.

The {q-Clubs} completed the board, Ajayi bet around 200,000, representing most of his stack, and Noguera moved all in. Ajayi thought about it before calling for his remaining chips.

Noguera tabled {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for a boat, and Noguera's {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts} went into the muck as he made his way to the payout desk.

Mandavia Leaves Schutten With Dust

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Ankush	Mandavia
Ankush Mandavia

Ankush Mandavia opened in the cutoff and faced a three-bet by Brek Schutten on the button. Mandavia called to send the two players heads-up to the flop.

Mandavia checked on the {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{a-Hearts} flop and called after Schutten continued for 140,000.

Schutten continued his aggression on the {6-Hearts} turn, firing off 325,000 after Mandavia checked. Mandavia was not going anywhere and made the call.

The {k-Clubs} river saw Mandavia check for a third time and, after Schutten pushed 400,000 into the middle, raise all in. Schutten seemed to be in a world of hurt but ended up calling. He was shown {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} by Mandavia for the stone cold nuts and, after both stacks had been counted, was left with just 20,000. Mandavia, meanwhile, has shot to the top of the leaderboard.

Schutten was seen headed towards the payout desk shortly after the hand.

Noguera Comes From Behind to Survive

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Nicolas Noguera
Nicolas Noguera

Daniel Smiljkovic opened to 80,000 from middle position and was called by Jacky Wang in late position. Nicolas Noguera shoved all in from the big blind and Smiljkovic asked for a count before making the call to put Noguera at risk while Wang folded.

Nicolas Noguera: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Daniel Smiljkovic: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Noguera was in bad shape and seemed to be heading for the exits. He smashed the {j-Spades}{6-Spades}{q-Spades} flop, however, to leap into the lead and sealed the deal on the {k-Spades} turn before the meaningless {7-Clubs} river hit the felt. Just a few minutes earlier, Noguera had told the table that the French "hate ace-king". If this hand is anything to go by, that sentiment is quite understandable.

Moreno Finds Flush to Survive

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Andrew	Moreno
Andrew Moreno

With the cards on their backs, Anton Wigg was all-in for approximately 320,000 in early position, Andrew Moreno was all-in for 1,055,000 on the button, and both players were at risk against Mike Allen in middle position.

Anton Wigg: {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Andrew Moreno: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}
Mike Allen: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Allen was in great shape to score a double knockout, although the {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop gave Moreno a flush draw. The {6-Spades} hit the felt on the turn to complete that draw, and the meaningless {q-Spades} completed the board, securing the pot for the 2021 Wynn Millions Main Event winner, and eliminating Wigg.

Dothar Doubles Up

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jampa Dothar
Jampa Dothar

A player in middle position opened to 80,000 and Jampa Dothar shoved for 550,000 out of the big blind. Action folded back around to the original raiser who made the call with the bigger stack to put Dothar at risk.

Jampa Dothar: {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}
Middle Position Player: {a-Hearts}{2-Clubs}

Dothar was in a good spot to double up and did just that after the {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{q-Spades} runout.

Muehloecker Eliminated

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Thomas Muehloecker
Thomas Muehloecker

Shortly after losing the majority of his stack, Thomas Muehloecker had already gotten the rest of his chips in from the cutoff. Boris Kolev in early position and Andrew Ostapchenko in the big blind were also involved in the hand, before Kolev forced out Ostapchenko on the turn of the {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} board.

Thomas Muehloecker: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Boris Kolev: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The Austrian needed an ace to survive, but the {2-Clubs} completed the board, and the overall Day 1 chip leader was sent to the payout desk.

Schutten Downs Muehloecker's Cowboys

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Brekstyn	Schutten
Brekstyn Schutten

Brek Schutten in middle position was all in and at risk against Thomas Muehloecker in the small blind.

Brek Schutten: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Thomas Muehloecker: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Muehloecker was in a good position to knock Schutten out of the tournament, that is until the flop came {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. The {2-Hearts} turn left Muehloecker hoping for the last remaining king in the deck to appear on the river. It did not. Instead, the board pairing {2-Clubs} left Muehloecker with crumbs as he watched a huge pile of chips pushed towards Schutten.
