A player was all in for 106,500 and at risk against Manuel Pochat.
Opponent: Q?Q?
Manuel Pochat: A?7?
The 9?6?3? flop kept the ladies in front, but the A? turn left the at-risk player needing a queen or heart to survive. The A? completed the board and Pochat scored the knockout to hold the chip lead in the room.

Ryan Riess raised to 55,000 from under the gun, only leaving himself 5,000 behind. A player in late position called before action came to Ben Yu who decided on a three-bet jam for around 100,000. Riess tossed in his last 5,000 denomination chip and the late position player got out of the way, sending Riess and Yu to a runout with the 2013 WSOP Main Event champion at risk.
Ryan Riess: A?9?
Ben Yu: A?K?
The board ran out A?10?J?6?K?, locking the pot up for Yu and sending Riess out the door with no Day 2 appearance.

On a flop reading 9?7?6? and with about 70,000 already in the middle, Sosia Jiang jammed first to act into Shaun Deeb. Deeb was in the tank considering his action and after burning through a timebank, he arrived at a call, putting Jiang at risk and setting up a runout.
Sosia Jiang: K?Q?
Shaun Deeb: A?5?
Deeb was ahead with two cards to come, but that would change immediately as the dealer placed the Q? on the turn. The 9? completed the board and locked up a full double for Jiang.
