Caleb Levesque opened UTG to 25,000 and the action folded around to Arit Oyekan who moved all in for 118,000. 

Levesque then went into the tank for a good while, counting out his chips. 

"Well, I did it to myself, you're ahead," He said as he made the call to put Oyekan at risk. 

"Sorry in advance," Levesque announced as he tabled 6♠3♠ against the T♠T♣ of Oyekan. 

Sure enough, the flop of 4♠9♣5♣ gave him an open-ended straight draw for a big sweat. The turn 8♣ took away two of his outs as Oyekan picked up a flush draw, but that didn't matter as the 2♦ hit the river to give him a straight to eliminate Oyekan as the table erupted. 

With this elimination, play has stopped in Day 1G and the players have bagged up as follows: 

1. Matt Bond - 774,500
2. Hunter Thomas - 574,000
.3 Caleb Levesque - 376,000
4. Sean Lee - 323,000
5. Thai Ha - 314,000
6. James Tsou - 193,500
