A player moved all in UTG+1 for 52,000, and Josh Whitney moved all in over the top from the cutoff for about 160,000 with AsKs.

The UTG+1 player turned over QhJc, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Ah10h5d5s10c — the UTG+1 player flopped a gutshot straight draw, but improved no further. Whitney won the pot with two pair, aces and tens, to eliminate his opponent in roughly 95th place. (The final 90 players will advance to Day 2, where they will be in the money.)

Josh Whitney  –  225,000  (38 bb)

With 94 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 190,000 (32 big blinds). Action will continue tonight until there are 90 players remaining, and they will bag up for Day 2, which begins Sunday at 1:00 pm.
