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.
