Iago Sturzeneker opened to 2,500 from early position and Patrick Bruel defended his big blind. Bruel check-raised to 5,500 over a bet of 2,000 on the J♦6♦3♥ flop. Sturzeneker called.
The 7♣ turn checked through to the 10♥ river, where Bruel check-folded to a bet of 15,500.
Daniel Dvoress is a recent entrant to the tournament, but his chase for another WSOP bracelet got off to a rocky start. In one of his first hands, he tangled with Mike Watson in a pot where Watson’s ace-king high was good enough to scoop a 206,000 pot.
Dvoress looked to rebound shortly after, three-betting to 16,000 from the big blind after Alexey Borovkov opened to 2,500 and Dante Goya called. Borovkov folded from early position, while Goya continued. On the 5♥4♦3♠ flop, Dvoress check-folded to a bet of 14,000.

Alexey Borovkov started his pursuit of closing the gap between himself and Watson by raising to 2,500 from under the gun. Dante Goya and Felipe Ketzer called from the cutoff and big blind.

Matthew Klapstein opened from middle position to 2,500, which was called by the small blind Paulo Drummond and the big blind Mathias Joelsson.

Both players checked the 9♠ on the turn, to see the 5♣ on the river. Joelsson then bet out 15,000, which got a quick fold from Klapstein to give the pot to Joelsson.
