8 Max Survivor 2K Bounty to ITM ($1,000)

David Copeland shoved 118,000 (15 BB) against an utg open, and was followed by two more all-ins behind - Sechariah Quek and Ankit Ahuja (194,000). Initial raiser opted out, leaving the three to run the cards.

Copeland as the underdog, scooped a clean triple up as board T♥ A♥ 8♣ 9♠ Q♦ ran him a straight for the win. Quek took the side pot for his two pair while Ahuja found his kings flying towards the muck.

Arjun Agrawal opened 8,000 on the hijack, and was called by both Najeem Ajez on the button along with Sechariah Quek on the big blind.

Action on flop 7♦ 9♦ 6♥ was checked to Ajez, pushing him to fire 16,000. Quek called, and Agrawal decided to bump it up further to 66,000. Ajez put in the call, and was met with all-in back for 246,000 from Quek. Agrawal reshoved and Ajez stepped away from it all.

Quek T♥ 9♣

Agrawal Q♦ Q♣

A bold move from Quek, his aggression paid off as the runout 4♦ 9♥ turned the tables in his favor, offering him another chance at Day 2 as well as the overall lead.

Xin Yuan opened 6,000 on the hijack and was met with a 16,000 three bet from Sechariah Quek right behind. Yuan made it 40,000 to go and Quek completed.

On flop 5♠ 4♥ 2♥ , Yuan continued for 22,000, yet folded after Quek responded with an all-in.
