Having busted after the dinner break, Ivan Lirui Wang waits then jumps in during the last level of Day 1 play. He quickly gets all his chips in with K♦ K♥ then empties out to Yang Yang's A♠ K♠ flush on a board J♦ T♦ 6♠ 7♠ 9♠ .

A♠ he tosses in the next bullet ticket, Martin Nielsen re-enters and sits back where he started the day. Both Wang and Nielsen found themselves all in. Nielsen J♠ 9♠ and Wang A♦ Q♥ , the board K♠ K♣ 6♥ T♣ K♥ is good for Wang to double up and Nielsen now tossing in his next bullet card.
