Yaxi Zhu's tournament proved short, as she was just eliminated by Jan Suchanek here in Level 2.
"All in and call!" was the yell from the dealer at Table 32. Upon arrival, our reporter saw the 
board in the middle and the two players had their hands turned up. Zhu was all in with the 
for top pair, top kicker. Suchanek had her drawing dead with the 
for a set of sevens.
The 
river card completed the board, and Zhu was relegated to the rail. Suchanek climbed to over 40,000 in chips.

This past summer, the 2013 World Series of Poker $1,500 Millionaire Maker event attracted a massive field of 7,977 entries. In the end the $1.3 million first-place prize was captured by Jonathan Dimmig, a Buffalo, New York native that had relocated to Vegas in 2012 to pursue poker full time. Needless to say, it proved a fruitful expedition.
"It’s definitely changed my life for the future. I think it makes it a lot nicer for me options-wide to pick and choose what types of tournaments and cash games I want to play in," Dimmig told PokerNews in an interview after the win. "It’s not like I immediately jumped up into high stakes — I took some weeks off after the long grind of the summer — but I think I’ll be doing more traveling now and try to combine some vacations with good poker tournaments throughout the U.S. and maybe even the world eventually."
True to his word, Dimmig did do some traveling — to Melbourne, Australia for this 2014 WSOP APAC. Dimmig has been in attendance playing all of the preliminary event, but he was no doubt looking forward to making a splash in the Main Event. Unfortunately for him, any chance of that happening just came to an end courtesy of 2012 WSOP Main Event runner-up Jesse Sylvia.
It happened when Dimmig opened for 525 from middle position and Sylvia called from the button. The big blind came along and three players saw a flop of 
. The big blind checked, Dimmig bet 700, and Sylvia raised to 2,050. The big blind folded, Dimming shoved all in for 9,025, and Sylvia wasted little time in making the call.
Sylvia: 
Dimmig: 
Sylvia had flopped top two pair while Dimmig opted to ride or die with his flush draw. The 
turn changed nothing, and neither did the 
river. Dimmig failed to find a heart and his 2014 WSOP APAC Main Event came to an end here in Level 2.

"All in and a call," we heard a dealer shout at Table 48. We made our way over to discover Thao Nguyen pulling in a big pot.
The specifics escaped us, but we do know Nguyen and another player got it all in on the turn with a board reading 
.
Nguyen: 
Opponent: 
Nguyen had gotten lucky to turn a set, and he was a big favorite to score the knockout. The dealer burned one last time and put out the . Nguyen avoided an ace to send a player to the rail and nearly double his stack.

It would be once again a hand between Quoc Nguyen and Ken Demlakian over on seat 27 that lasted a few minutes into the break. Both players checked the 
turn and Demlakian then bet 6,000 on the 
river out of the big blind. Nguyen moved all in and there was no call. Demlakian said he had pocket kings and Nguyen showed him 
for quads!

Level 1 is in the books, and that means it's time for the first 15-minute break of the day.
With 650 in the pot and a flop of

turn.
Leah checked, Mason bet 550, and Leah called to see the , which both players checked. Mason tabled the for kings and eights, and it was good as Leah mucked his hand.
