Day 1A chip leader Joseph Talamayan faced off against Day 1C chip leader Truong Vu Tran Khanh. Talamayan needed some help with 7♦ 7♥ against Truong’s 10♥ 10♠. The gods of poker answered his call with a set on the flop 9♠ A♥ 7♠ to overtake, and turn A♣ to improve to a full house. However, with the river landing A♠, Talamayan was denied by Truong’s higher full house and was eliminated. Truong climbed to 400k.
