Level 21
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Chino Rheem's once-massive stack of more than 1,000,000 had been reduced to 425,000 when he moved all in and was up against Evan Avery.
Chino Rheem: 
Evan Avery: 
Avery hit two pair on the 
flop and Rheem couldn't hit the miracle runner-runner as the board ran out 
. The one-time chip leader quickly collected his payout slip and ran off to register for the H.O.R.S.E. event.

A player on the button opened to 40,000 and Mike Suggs called out of the small blind. The big blind folded to send the players heads-up to the flop.
Suggs checked the 
flop and then called the 75,000 bet from his opponent.
Action checked through the 
turn to the 
river, where Suggs checked for a third time. The button player fired out a bet of 200,000 and Suggs quickly called, showing down 
to take the pot and surge above 1,000,000

A player in middle position had limped in before Luke Iorio pushed his last 280,000 in the middle on his direct left. The original limper called.
Luke Iorio: 
Opponent: 
The 
came in the window, but Iorio wasn't in the clear just yet as it was followed by the 
to also give his opponent a set. Needing to avoid a one-outer, Iorio dodged the 
turn and the 
river to double up near the last level of the night.

A player moved all in for around 200,000. "Is it on me? I'm all in," Jake Kofoed said as he pushed his entire stack forward, forcing everyone else out.
All-In Player: 
Jake Kofoed: 
As Kofoed took out his phone to take a picture of the hand, the flop came 
to give him top set and his opponent the nut flush draw.
"It's never easy," a tablemate said as the 
fell on the turn. The river came the and Kofoed improved to a full house to win the pot and knock out his opponent.
"That's a crazy hand," another tablemate added.

2020 WSOP US Domestic Main Event champion Joseph Hebert shoved his last 50,000 into the middle from middle position. Grant Ellis re-jammed from the cutoff and the remaining players got out of the way.
Joseph Hebert:
Grant Ellis: 
It was a flip for Hebert's tournament life but the 
flop left him drawing very thin. The 
turn closed the lid on a possible comeback and after the meaningless 
river was dealt, Hebert headed to the payout desk, coming up short very near the end of Day 1.

Tournament officials have announced five more hands before players bag up for the night.
Level 22
: 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Anthony McCurdy shoved for 60,000 from early position and Alexios Halebian raised to 105,000 in the cutoff. The remaining players got out of the way and McCurdy was at risk.
Anthony McCurdy:
Alexios Halebian:
Though McCurdy was at risk, he did have his opponent dominated. That remained the case after the 
flop but Halebian enjoyed a domination rotation on the turn, leaving McCurdy needing Barry Greenstein to come and save him. It did not happen on the 
river, ending McCurdy's deep run.
