The action was opened in late position to 125,000 by Day 1a chip leader Khaly Dang. The next player to act was Devesh Thapar in the cutoff who put in a three-bet to 325,000. The rest of the players folded around to Dustin Melanson in the big blind who went into the tank for about a minute before placing a single chip in the middle and announcing he was all in.
It was back on Dang who thought over her options for close to a minute before folding. Thapar quickly got out of the way too and Melanson was the recipient of a nice pot without even seeing a flop.
