On the river of a board of K♠6♥8♥5♥Q♦ which had been heavily bet through, Tyler Hirschfeld was in the hijack and moved all in for 470,000. Joshua Steiner was in the big blind and went into the think tank for a while and finally made the call.
Hirschfeld showed A♥4♥ for the nut flush and Steiner mucked his hand deep in the muck. Hirschfeld added substantially to his stack.
Stan Yuk Lee opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 26,000 and Jordyn Miller made it 78,000 on the cutoff. Lee put Miller all in for 450,000 total, Miller called.
Jordyn Miller: J♣J♦
Stan Yuk Lee: A♣A♠
The flop was K♥6♣9♠. The turn Q♠ gave the aces a bit of a sweat by giving Miller four additional outs with a gutshot, but the river was 5♥ and Miller was eliminated. Lee now has one of the biggest stacks in the field.
Nível: 19
Blinds: 6,000/12,000
Ante: 12,000
Anthony Lewis raised it to 20,000 from under the gun. Peter Brown called from the hijack, Clement Meunier also flat-called, but Peter Gould was ready to make the squeeze play and three-bet all in for 227,000. Peter Brown was the only player who called Gould's shove.
Peter Gould: 10♥10♠
Peter Brown: Q♦Q♠
Gould was packing his bag until the miracle card hit the river as the board ran out 4♠8♥K♣2♦10♣.
Ilyas Muradi and Ran Koller were involved in a big pot on the board of 7♠A♠8♥7♥Q♦. There was around 300,000 in the middle and action was on Muradi. He thought for a while and then put Koller all in for 215,000 of his remaining chips. Koller snap-called.
Muradi turned over J♠4♠ for the busted flush draw, and Koller showed A♣7♣ for the flopped two pair and turned full house.
Amazingly, Koller started Day 2 with only 25,000 chips or two and a half big blinds, and has been making on a chip-and-a-chair comeback. Within just an hour of play he has built up a stack of over 75 big blinds.

The runout was 3♣3♥6♠10♥4♦ and the queens were the lucky hand once again, giving Rich a healthy stack moving forward.
