From a star-studded field, it was Bin Weng who captured the chip lead by the end of the night. The former GPI #1 player built a large stack early in the proceedings and never looked back on his way to a bag of 359,000.

There was already around 20,000 in the pot as Luka Sabo and Andrew Porter went heads-up on a board of 8♦6♦9♠4♦5♥. Porter then moved all in from the big blind.
Sabo was in the cutoff and tanked for several minutes until he called for his last 12,000. Porter showed 4♥2♥ for just a pair of fours as Sabo turned over A♥A♦ to win the pot.
"Tough to fold those aces," tablemate Paul Houvener told Sabo after the hand.
Porter was left with just 1,500 and was eliminated shortly afterward as the first bustout of the day.
