Event #1D - Adam Goldberg Knocks Out Bubble in MONSTER Pot

The hijack raises to 12,000, and Adam Goldberg reraises to 30,000 in the big blind.  With action back on the hijack, he shoves all in.  Goldberg leans back in his chair for over a minute and then asks for a count.  The dealer and floor both verify the 161,000 total, and Goldberg goes deep into the tank.

After nearly four full minutes, Goldberg moves a stack of chips forward to call.

"Nice call," the hijack says to Goldberg as he turns over 7♥3♥. Goldberg shows Q♦Q♠.

The flop comes K♣6♠3♣ giving the hijack a pair of threes, but leaving Goldberg's queens well in the lead. The 4♦ turn maintains that lead, but also gives the hijack a gutshot straight draw. A few of the people that have gathered around the table gasp. But the 8♦ river is safe for Goldberg. He wins the pot, and his opponent is sent home as the official bubble boy.

The remaining 58 players will now bag and tag for the night. We will bring you a list of all players advancing to Day 2, chip stacks and seating assignments as soon as they are available in the next few hours.

Adam Goldberg - 448,000

Gerry Aiello was just eliminated with only three more eliminations to the money.

According to Aiello, facing a raise from his opponent, he shoved all in with A♠K♦ and got called by a player holding pocket jacks.

Aiello flopped a pair of jacks, but unfortunately his opponent flopped a set of jacks when the flop came K♣J♥X. 

Aiello was unable to improve on the turn or river and was eliminated in 62nd place, with 58 places paying/making day 2.

Only 64 players remain in the final flight of Event #1.  When they reach the final 59 they will go hand for hand until they reach all 58 in the money spots.  At that time they will bag and tag for the night, returning tomorrow at 12:00 noon. 

Here is a look at a few of the notables still in the field:

Event #1, Flight D - Two Post-Dinner Survivals

Level: 14
Blinds: 1,000/2,000
Ante: 300 
Entries: 483
Players Remaining: 117
Live Stream Link:  twitch.tv/foxwoods

Just shortly after the dinner break, two notable players doubled up to stay alive.

Mark Walsh shoved all in holding ace king and got called by an opponent holding pocket queens.  Luckily for Walsh, he spiked a king on the river to double.

Andrew Lauer also doubled up right after returning from break.  According to Lauer, a player in early position min raised, and a player in middle position re-raised to 9,000.  It folded to Lauer in the small blind who started the hand with 14,500 and he looked down at pocket jacks.  Lauer shoved all in, the player under the gun folded, and the player in middle position called holding pocket queens.

The flop came Q♥9♣4♠, giving Lauer's opponent a set of queens, but that didn't scare him in the least. "I feel like I've still got this," Lauer said.

His prediction came true, when the K♦ turn and 10♥ river gave him a straight to double and stay alive.

Mark Walsh - 45,000
Andrew Lauer - 38,000

Event #1, Flight D - Dakota Happas Re-Enters and Doubles First Hand

Level: 6
Blinds: 150/300
Ante: 25
Current Entries: 393
Current Remaining: 315
Live Stream Link:  twitch.tv/foxwoods

According to Dakota Happas he was just eliminated when he shoved all in with aces and got called by an opponent holding pocket kings.  There was a king in the window to send Happas to the re-entry cage.

His very first hand after re-entering, Happas got it all in on a Q♥J♠10♠ flop holding Ace-king. He was called by a player that flopped the bottom end of the straight holding 9♥8♣. Another player in the hand folded his flush draw on the flop in the midst of the raising war, and would have won as he would have rivered a small flush.

Dakota Happas - 41,000
