Fabrice Soulier check-called a bet of 4,500 on the turn against Oleksii Khoroshenin to see the 
on the river. This card didn't appear to change much and the Frenchman checked again, Khoroshenin now bet 12,000 which Soulier didn't appear to like. Indeed, after two minutes the bracelet winner and WSOPE Main Event runner-up from last year decided to let go of his hand.

The action in the high roller events tend to be a little quicker than in most tournaments with players acting in a prompt manner and not wasting time on every street (there are exceptions however, naming no names.) So it was rather unusual to hear time being called so early in the tournament and not in an all-in situation.
The final board read 
and Spinks had bet 7,000. His opponent, Sylvain Loosli, was deep in the tank; too deep evidentially as the clock was called. With 30 seconds remaining he released his hand.
Three players had reached the turn of a board reading 
and when the blinds checked Jake Cody bet 5,100. Julian Thomas in the small blind stared at the big blind and made the call. The big blind folded and they saw a river . Thomas checked and folded to a bet of 13,000 from Cody.
David Vamplew opened from early position for 600 and four players saw a flop of 
which they all checked. The turn was the 
and Ibrahim ghassan decided to open fold which brought some chuckles and a bet of 1,125 from Vojtech Ruzicka. The only caller was Zoltan Szabo and the river card was the . They both checked and when a sheepish Ruzicka flipped up his 
it won him the pot.
PCA winner Dominika Panka fired a bet of 2,600 on a 
flop with Bryan Paris making the call to see the 
on the turn. Both players decided to check this overcard to see the 
on the river. Panka now bet 5,700 and Paris thought for a minute or two before reluctantly giving up his hand.

. Jouhkimainen checked and when it got round to Ludovic Geilich he made it 2,200. Jouhkimainen was the only caller and they saw a turn card 
. Jouhkimainen again checked and called a bet of 4,700 from Geilich. The river was the 
and both players checked. Jouhkimainen wanted to see Geilich’s cards but as it was checked on the river he had to show first, turning over the 
. It won the pot and Geilich said to his neighbour, “He had me strangled! Top pair, open ended, clubs.”
Steve O’Dwyer three-bet to 3,150 from the big blind and was called by opener Russian Sergey Pronin in the cut-off and button Jon Spinks. The three players saw a flop of
