Peng Wu sent out 3,300 preflop vs Shuo Yang's button open and saw the latter come along on flop 2♣ A♣ 4♥ . Both checked it through to turn J♦ , where Wu led for 3,900. Yang called, and went on to call another 6,700 on river 5♥ , only to muck as Wu revealed top pair A♥ Q♣ .

Some players seated early, ready to engage in battle across the long day ahead:

Both Yicheng Ren and Hidetomo Wada completed their blinds against Shuo Yang's utg open, and headed to flop T♠ 7♣ 2♦ . Ren check raised to 3,900 following a cbet from Yang and saw both put in the chips to turn Q♦ . Ren bet another 3,500, and arrived shortly at showdown after Wada called off his last 2,800 and Yang opted out.

Ren J♥ J♣

Wada T♥ 5♦

In rough shape, Wada was in luck to find a 5♠ land on the river, just enough to save him from elimination.
