WSOPE bracelet winner Tristan Wade took Mark Seagel off the better hand to move up to 15,500 in chips. The two had made it to the turn where the board read 
. Seagel checked to face a 5,375 that sent him into the tank. He came out folding and was shown 
.
“I had queens,” said Seagel, “I thought you had a king. Nice play.”
“Thanks,” came the response.
Domink Nitsche is up to more than 50,000 after misreading his opponent’s stack in a hand. His opponent opened off what the German thought was a 5,000 stack, but it was, in fact, a 9,000 stack. Nitsche shoved with ace-nine and when he was called, he soon found out his error. It didn’t matter though as his opponent had made a very lose call with ace-seven and failed to catch-up.

Brendon Rubie will have to be content with his win in the opening event, because he is down and out. Rubie called bets on every street against John McNaughton on a 
board and then mucked on the river and exited the tournament area when McNaughton tabled his

David Zhao is the latest bounty to fall after a squeeze play went wrong. Jack Ellwood opened to 375 and was called in one spot before Zhao shipped in for 6,150. The action was back on Ellwood and he tanked before he moved all-in for 7,000. That was enough to scare off the third party.

The board ran 
and Ellwood is two-thirds of the way to free-rolling this event.
[Removed:505] has just got the better of Oliver Gill. A three-bet pot saw the two players take to a flop showing 
. This is when Kinkade check-shoved after Gill bet 1,000. Gill made the call and tabled his 
, way behind the 
for Kinkade.
Kinkade's flopped straight stayed in front all the way to the river as Kinkade took down the handy pot.

After the under-the-gun player limped in, Manig Loeser raised to 700 from the button. Winner of the Opening Event, Brendon Rubie, reraised all in for 3,700 from the big blind. The limped took some time, got the official count and then made the call. Loeser mulled things over for a minute or two and then folded.

Opponent: 
The flop, turn and river ran out 
and Rubie doubled up.
