In a battle between the blinds, Justin Arnwine wound up all in for his last 10,000 and up against Frank Timmerman.
Justin Arnwine: 5♣5♥
Frank Timmerman: A♣7♦
Timmerman took the lead on the Q♠9♣A♦ flop with top pair, and Arnwine couldn't catch up on the J♣K♠ turn and river as he was sent to the rail.
Christopher Selami raised to 1,200 in the hijack before Jason Badeaux, who had only just joined the field, three-bet to 2,500 in the cutoff. Marcia Kuntz then four-bet to 7,500 in the big blind, and only Badeaux called.
Kuntz bet 10,000 on the 7♦3♦8♠ flop and Badeaux called. Kuntz then moved all in for 20,000 on the K♣ turn, and Badeaux again quickly called.
Kuntz showed A♠A♥, while Badeaux had A♣K♦ for top pair. The river was the 6♥, and Kuntz doubled up as Badeaux was forced to hand over most of his stack on the first hand he had played.
Michael Mathias raised to 1,100 under the gun and William Lawson called in the big blind.
Mathias continued for 2,000 on the K♠K♥10♥ flop, and Lawson called. Both players then checked the 2♣ turn.
Mathias bet another 4,000 on the 5♦ river, and Lawson called. Mathias then showed J♠J♥, and Lawson mucked.
A player in middle position bet 5,000 on a flop of A♥J♠7♦ and was called by Steven Hlavinka in the big blind and Melanie Hennigan in middle position.
The turn was the 7♥ and the middle-position player bet 15,000. Hlavinka then moved all in for 27,900 and Hennigan folded, while the middle-position player called.
He showed A♣K♥ for two pair, but Hlavinka had a full house with J♣J♥. The river was the Q♠, and Hlavinka doubled up.
Jermaine Haughton was recently eliminated.
Paul Diana raised to 1,200 in middle position and was called by Melanie Hennigan in the hijack and Derrick Thomas in the cutoff. Justin Arnwine then three-bet to 7,000 in the small blind and Glenn Chernigoff called in the big blind, while Diana, Hennigan, and Thomas all folded.
Arnwine bet 3,000 on the 10♥Q♦5♦ flop, and Chernigoff raised to 7,000. Arnwine called, and they quickly got in Chernigoff's last 13,400 on the 4♣ turn.
Arnwine turned over J♦J♥, but Chernigoff had A♠A♥ as he was poised for the double up. The river was the Q♠, and Arnwine surrendered the pot.
WSOP Main Event champion Greg Raymer just took his seat in the field. Melanie Hennigan also reentered, while Clint Houck recently joined as well.
Melanie Hennigan bet 3,000 from the big blind on a flop of J♠K♣6♠ and Derrick Thomas then raised to 10,000 in middle position. Hennigan called.
The turn was the 2♦ and Hennigan moved all in for 30,000. Thomas snap-called and turned over A♠A♣, while Hennigan had K♠Q♣. Hennigan needed to improve to stay alive, but she missed the J♦ river as Thomas claimed his second bustout of the day.
