Down to a short stack, Elior Sion got it in after a K♣7♦7♣ flop and revealed his A♠J♣6♠3♣ for a jack-high flush draw. He was crushed by the A♣Q♥4♣3♥ of Benjamin Gold and found no help on the A♦ turn and 6♦ river.
Yueqi Zhu was awaiting his fate when looked up by David Williams and Jordan Siegel. On a board of 8♠5♠4♣5♦9♠, the A♠Q♥4♥X♦ of Zhu were no good, as Williams' A♥Q♦7♦3♣ and the A♥9♥8♥3♠ of Siegel chopped the pot.
On a board of 5♣4♠2♥4♥8♥, David Williams bet the turn and river for Kosei Ichinose to reluctantly call. Williams flashed his cards including the K♥Q♥ for a flush, which won the high portion. The A♠Q♦7♠2♦ of Ichinose were good for the low as he made a small profit on his late entry on Day 1 thus far.
Anthony Zinno was already all-in and multi-way action behind unfolded with Zachary Freeman betting the K♦10♦4♠K♥ turn when checked to. Anson Tsang called from under the gun while Van Law folded.
Tsang checked the 10♥ river and folded to a bet by Freeman, who turned over the K♣6♠4♣2♠. Zinno's A♣Q♠7♦5♣ was no good and he hit the rail.
Tsang was in the big blind next and check-called on the 9♥8♦3♠ flop when John Hennigan bet, Brad Ruben check-called as well. Tsang checked the K♣ turn for Ruben to bet and Hennigan to call and the same action repeated on the 2♣ river. Tsang had a single T-1,000 chip behind and sigh-called all-in.
Ruben tabled the A♠K♥8♠7♠ for kings and eights with a seven low, while Hennigan tabled the A♦Q♦9♠5♠ for the superior low. Tsang's J♣7♣6♠4♠ had missed straight outs and he hit the rail, too.
Last but not least, Freeman was scooped on a board of A♣6♠2♥J♥2♦ when his A♦10♦7♥5♣ could not secure either the low or high. The low belonged to Andrew Brown with the A♥Q♠5♦3♠ as his short-stacked all-in chopped up some profit against the A♠K♠K♦4♠ of Jake Schwartz.
Day 1 is now up to 182 entries in the final level of the night and some of those who jumped in very late include Ryan Miller, Elior Sion, Todd Brunson, and Noah Bronstein.
Brandon Shack-Harris called from early position and was raised by Phillip Long in late position. Yuri Dzivielevski called from the big blind and Shack-Harris also called.
The three players saw a flop of 3♥5♦10♦ and it was checked to Long, who bet. Both Dzivielevski and Shack-Harris called and saw a 6♠ on the turn.
Long bet again after being checked to, but this time Dzivielevski decided to check-raise, with Shack-Harris and Long both calling.
The river brought the 10♣ and Dzivielevski bet again, getting called by both players.
Dzivielevski tabled K♣7♣4♣3♥ for a seven high straight, Shack-Harris showed A♥6♥3♣2♥ for a sixty-five low and Long mucked.

In a four-way four-bet pot preflop, only Dustin Dirksen, Sammy Farha and Jason Daly remained involved on the 6♠5♦3♥K♥ turn when Dirksen was all-in for the last 5,000, earning two calls. On the 4♠ river, there was no further action and Dirksen flashed his A♥8♦4♦2♣ for the nut low and straight to the six.
Farha was scooped with the 6♥5♥4♥3♠ as he made four pair while the 8♠6♣5♣2♠ of Daly earned half of the high pot.
