Yesterday, Jack Salter tweeted that he finally ended up on the same table as legend Phil Ivey, and table four was the first to break right after registration closed. Salter was moved over to table three and found himself up against Ivey.
Both just got into a small pot that ended up in the favor of Ivey, before Salter won a far bigger one soon after.
Hand 1
Ivey made it 18,000 to go and Salter called in the big blind. On the 
flop, Salter check-called a bet worth 20,000 before then check-folding the 
turn to a second barrel worth 55,000.
Hand 2
Salter opened to 17,000 on the button and Ivey called in the big blind to see a flop of 
. Ivey check-called a bet worth 11,000 before doing so again on the 
turn for 28,000. The river completed the board and Ivey checked for a third time. Salter now fired 90,000 and Ivey gave him a stare down before eventually calling. Salter turned over 
for a full house to boost his stack.

A personalized golden iPhone was next to table two and belongs to Founder of Triton Richard Yong. It won't tell any good news to friends, as Yong has just busted in a big pot after four-betting into Sergio Aido to let the Spaniard jump into second place.
Yong opened the action with a raise to 20,000 and Aido three-bet from the cutoff to 53,000. Yong shoved for more than 300,000 and Aido snap-called for a reason.
Richard Yong: 
Sergio Aido:
The board ran out 
and Yon was sent to the rail early on Day 2.

Rui Cao became the first casualty of the day, having missed the first few hands only and then facing a raise to 17,000 by Mustapha Kanit. Cao shoved with his short stack of around 150,000 and Devan Tang reshoved from two seats over to isolate successfully.
Rui Cao: 
Devan Tang: 
"King queen?" Cao said somewhat upset when he noticed the hand of his opponent. The flop fell 
and Tang had flopped the flush, Cao was drawing dead by the 
turn already. A meaningless river completed the board and Cao left as quickly as he arrived.
