Aleksandar Stojadinovic raises to 20,000 for the second hand in a row and everyone folds but one. Francesco Morales has no options as he is forced all-in for6,000 from the big blind with 8♥ 8♠ .

Stojadinovic flips with the A♠ T♠ and cannot deal the final blow on the 9♥ 6♠ 3♥ 5♠ Q♦ board. There are still 44 players remaining with 42 qualifying for Day 2.

Aleksandar Stojadinovic defends the big blind against Neng Zhao and calls a bet worth 40,000 on the 9♥ 7♠ 4♦ K♠ turn with around two times as much behind. Zhao waves the hand to see how much he has behind and then bets all bis big chips on the 7♦ river when checked to.

Stojadinovic eventually calls for 78,000 and Zhao instantly says "good call" before showing 6♦ 6♥ , which Stojadinovic has beat with the K♦ J♠ .

Jon Kyte pays off his last few chips on the river of a king-high board and exposes the Q♥ T♦ , which had flopped middle pair with an open-ended straight draw. However, it is no good as the A♠ T♣ of Aleksandar Stojadinovic already has broadway on the flop and increase his already big stack further.

Jesse Smith is all-in preflop for only 18,000 with the K♠ 9♣ and up against Aleksandar Stojadinovic, who flips over 7♠ 7♥ . The pair holds on the Q♠ Q♣ Q♦ 5♥ 2♠ runout and the rich get richer.
