Zack Herman raised from the button, the small blind moved all in for 26,100, and the big blind reraised with a stack of about 100K, covering both players. Herman quickly called all in for 19,400.

These were their cards, in descending order of chip counts:

Big Blind:  AcQh
Small Blind:  AdQs
Zack Herman:  AsKc

The board came 9h3s3d4hKh, and Herman unnecessarily paired his king on the river to win the pot with two pair and triple up in chips.

Zack Herman  –  59,800  (37 bb)

With about 305 players remaining from a Flight E field of 955, the average chip stack is about 62,600 (39 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.
