Action caught up with Robert Haller calling a river bet of 5,800 from the small blind against a player in middle position on a board reading Q♣6♥8♥4♣3♣.
Haller's opponent tabled A♦J♣ for ace-high and Haller showed down 7♠3♥ for a pair of threes, to the chagrin of the player in middle position.
In a hand relayed to PokerNews by Joe Thiele and a few others at the table, Thiele raised to 2,000 from middle position and was three-bet by a player on the button, with the player in the small blind moving all-in and both Thiele and the player on the button making the call.
Button: K♦Q♦
Small Blind: A♠K♠
Joe Thiele: Q♠2♣
Thiele went in with the worst of it but was able to spike a deuce on the J♥2♦9♣ flop.
However, Thiele was not out of the woods yet, as any card ten or higher would be bad news.
But the turn 4♥ kept Thiele in the lead and the 2♥ on the river secured the double elimination.

Day 1a has crossed the 2,000 entry mark, with roughly four hours of late registration remaining.
Action caught up to an all-in hand between France's Christophe Jean-Jacques in late position and a player in middle position.
Jean-Jacques had moved all-in on the 6♥9♠3♥ flop and before the player in middle position could make the call, the dealer burned and turned the 10♠ early, resulting in a floor call.
The floor instructed the dealer to shuffle the 10♠ back into the deck if the middle position player made the call, which is what happened, and the cards were on their backs.
Christophe Jean-Jacques: Q♥Q♦
Middle Position Player: J♥J♣
Jean-Jacques was in great shape to score the double and was able to hold on a final board of 6♥9♠3♥2♦2♥.
The cards were on their backs in an all-in hand between Art Peacock in late position and a player in early position for 39,000 chips on a board reading 7♥2♥9♦.
Early Position: A♥Q♥
Art Peacock: J♥J♦
The early position player flopped a flush draw with two overcards to the board, but Peacock's pair was still best.
Peacock would need to fade quite a few cards in order to secure the elimination and fortunately, the runout would be clean in the form of the 8♠ turn and the 6♣ river.
Niveau: 5
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 600
Players are going on their first scheduled break of the day and will return to Level 5 with blinds 300/600 and a 600 big blind ante.
Action caught the aftermath of an Andrew Burnham all-in, with Burnham's hand still face up and Burnham stacking the chips from the massive pot.
Opponent: XxXx
Andrew Burnham: A♠A♣
The final board read Q♥5♠4♦9♦6♦, with Burnham's aces holding to become one of the early Day 1a big stacks.
"Well, I guess I can just rebuy," said Mark Juin's late position opponent before calling Juin's all-in.
Late Position Opponent: Q♠Q♦
Mark Juin: K♠K♦
Juin was way out front with the bigger pair and would stay there on the final runout of 6♣3♠4♦8♠9♦, sending the late position player to the cage.
