Papajac played as solid of day 1 as any player can hope for, only showing down 6 hands all day.

With one chip set back late stages where his AK ran into a short stacks AA for a 7k loss, he managed to keep his composure and not let it rattle his strategy.

With the end of the day approaching, Jack picked up AT and open raised from middle position. A short stack made a last-ditch effort push. Jack called the small raise and was off to the races against the opponents 99.

With the flop of KQ4, Jack picked up 10 outs to take the lead. The turn brought another K, no help to Jack. The river came a soul crushing Queen, as the 99 two pair was counterfeited, and Jack's Ace high takes the pot.

Jack ended the day with 45 000 chips and in a solid 24th starting position with 287 still left to play.

888 Qualifier Bokinjo is also still alive and doing very well as he tells me he is on approximately 40 000 chips, so he should be nipping at Jack's heels.

Some big names are still alive as well, Phil Laak is in the top 10, Jamie Gold has a healthy stack, Kara Scott, Neil Channing, Dave Colclough and Barny Boatman all still have a chance to take home the trophy.
