Richard Blume got it all in from the cutoff for about 20,000 with KsKc, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against the small blind’s Ad10d.

There was an ace in the window, but the board came AhKh4s5s9s, and Blume flopped a set of kings to win the pot and double up in chips.

Richard Blume  –  46,000  (29 bb)

With about 125 players remaining from a field of 514, the average chip stack is about 82,200 (51 big blinds). Action will continue tonight until there are 52 players left, and everyone who survives will be in the money and advance to Day 2, which begins Sunday at 1:00 pm.
