Thursday's opening qualifier drew 218 entries, from which 33 players earned $200 and a seat in Sunday's Main Event with a 20,000 chip bonus.
A player in late position limped in before the button made it 1,500. Chris Urban called from the big blind and the flop was K?7?J?.
Urban tossed out 1,500 and the player in late position folded before the button called to see the turn.
The turn was A? and Urban bet 500. The button raised to 3,000 and Urban called.
Both players checked the 9? river and the button turned over A?Q?, but Urban showed J?7? to take the pot with a flopped two pair.
