Vincent Trevisonno open raised to 9K, which was a 4.5X raise. He did not want to let anyone in cheaply, and got his wish. Action was folded to Charles-Anthony Dubé in the big blind, who raised all-in. Vincent was covered by a bit, and both players created a pot of 85K.

Cole Skye and Roy Vishinsky got it in pre-flop. Vishinsky thought it was a great spot to double up, but he found that he was on the wrong end of a set-up:

Skye had only 4,000 left at one point, but made a great comeback. He is now sitting behind over 100K.

With only 3 levels ahead of us, nine players are working with a 6-figure stack. It is extremely tight at the top:

Nicholas Bélanger made a small raise, and Alain Zarka pushed his chips forward. His opponents were looking at a 25K bet, and one by one they folded, until the action came around to Bélanger. He already had a pile of chips in his hands, ready to go.

Luckily for Bélanger, he had secured a set on the flop. A few hands later, on the same table, Johnny Akilian and Bob T had their own pre-flop showdown:

As the average stack decreases in number of big blinds, the gloves come off. The last break comes in about 15 minutes, after which Day 1A players will have 3 levels to work with before the end of the flight.

With just a couple of chips in the pot and a small bet from Golnaz Aghabeigi, Étienne Nault shoved his remaining 25K on the flop. He must have felt a lot of strength in his opponent; most people would slow play the monster that he found on the flop.

Nault:
Aghabeigi:

If that was his read, he was a little too correct. Aghabeigi had the next best hand, and Nault was looking for one of 4 outs to survive, which did not come.
