A player raised from middle position to 12,000, the button called, the small blind called, and Nadya Magnus moved all in from the big blind for 96,000.

The middle position player tanked for a while before he folded, the button quickly folded, and the small blind called all in for about 65,000 with Kh10d.

Magnus turned over AhAc, and the small blind needed to improve to stay alive. (The player in middle position claimed to have folded ace-king.)

The board came As9c4c2c5c, and Magnus flopped a set of aces and rivered an ace-high flush to win the pot and eliminate her opponent from Flight E.

Nadya Magnus  –  190,000  (38 bb)

With 122 players remaining from a Flight E field of 955, the average chip stack is about 157,000 (31 big blinds). Action will continue today until there are 120 players remaining, and the survivors will finish in the money and advance to Day 2, which begins tomorrow (Sunday) at 1:00 pm.

Note:  Players must bag chips at the end of their starting flight to finish in the money.
