Action was heads up with over 100,000 in the middle and 5?6?7?10?A? on the board when Terakun "Papa Karn" Karnchanakphan bet 40,000. Matthew Williams, who has surged well above the one million mark in the opening levels of the day, thought it over for a moment before he used exact change to call.
Karnchanakphan turned over A?Q? to take the pot with an ace-high flush and move above the one-million mark.
William Anderson raised to 30,000 and Sanh Vuong shoved 265,000 from the next seat over. Anderson leaned back and let out a sigh before he counted his chips out in the tank. After a few moments of thought, Anderson wanted to gamble and the cards were turned up.
Sanh Vuong: 3?3?
William Anderson: J?10?
The board ran out 2?8?2?10?A? and Anderson turned a pair of tens to double up through Vuong.

Just before the break, Terrance "T.J." Reid shoved 174,000 and Shaun "The Ghost" Emery looked him up from the next seat over. The rest of the seat bailed and action was heads up with Reid at risk.
Terrance Reid: A?10?
Shaun Emery: J?J?
The board ran out 2?4?3?9?9? and Emery held on with pocket jacks to send Reid to the rail in early Day 2 action.
Three players were committed to the pot and the hands were already turned up with two of them at risk. Megan Chapman had her last 57,000 in the middle, while Robert Meyers was at risk for 47,000. Rick Estell had them both covered and the dealer was ready to go.
Robert Meyers: 7?7?
Megan Chapman: Q?J?
Rick Estell: 10?10?
The board ran out K?10?4?6?8? and Estell held on with pocket tens to knock both players out of the tournament.
