Michael Gagliano raised from under the gun to make it 27,000. Fabrizio Gonzalez countered by three-betting to 51,000. The table folded around to Joshua Pedraza who moved all in for 131,000. Gagliano folded and Gonzalez took his time to ponder what course of action he wanted to take. In the end Gonzalez decided calling was the best option and pushed his chips in the middle. Gonzalez had 17,000 more, so Pedraza would be the one at risk.
Pedraza: 
Gonzalez: 
The board came 
and despite having a world of outs Gonzalez came up short.
Gonzalez soon found himself in the big blind and moved all in for his remaining 17,000 after Larry Duplantis raised it up to 36,000. Jimmy Fradettedufour and Michael Gagliano also came along for the ride.
The flop came 
and all three remaining players checked. The 
on the turn saw a bet of 48,000 from Duplantis and the rest of the players folded. Duplantis was awarded the side pot, but there was still another pot to be won and cards were tabled.
Gonzalez: 
Duplantis: 
Duplantis had a pair of sixes and Gonzalez a pair and flush draw. The 
on the river though was not one of Gonzalez's outs and he was eliminated.

William Rogers has just received a quick one-two from John Gualtieri and Stephen Reynolds and he just couldn't get back up from the canvas.
We joined the action on the turn and the board was showing us 
. It looked like Gualtieri had bet 38,000 and Rogers had raised to 100,000. The action was on the stetson wearing Gualtieri and the cowboy moved all-in. Rogers didn't respond directly, in fact he tanked for several minutes, but he did indeed call.
| Gualtieri |   |
| Rogers |   |
So Gualtieri had the straight and Rogers was left needing a heart.
River:
That loss put Rogers on around 100,000 and he lost them a few hands later when he run his 
into the 
of Reynolds.

One of the favorite's for this title - Vanessa Selbst - has been eliminated in the first level of the day. Twenty-three hours and forty-six minutes ago Vanessa Selbst and her 
had Joey Weissman and his 
on the ropes. He was all-in and was one flip away from going out. Press your finger on that fast forward button and Weissman is our dominating chip leader whilst Selbst is out.
The action folded around to Weissman on the button and he raised to 24,000. Selbst was seated in the small and she three-bet to 68,000. Then in the blink of an eye Weissman had clicked it back, Selbst had moved all-in and Weissman had called. When the cards were turned over it was a disaster for Selbst.
| Weissman |  |
| Selbst | |
Weissman is seated right next to the Amazon rail, and it is chocked full of his fans. They were screaming into the right earhole of Selbst - baying for a queen - and do you know what? They got it.
Flop: 
Weissman was just one card away from eliminating the dangerous Selbst.
Turn:
That was it. Selbst was out. The meaningless 
was driven into the felt and our WSOP bracelet winner said her goodbyes and left.

There is something simmering between this pair. Yordan Jeliazkov and Joey Weissman were battering each other all day long yesterday. It was Weissman who came out in the better shape when he secured the chip lead - a lead that Jeliazkov had held for most of today - and it seems today has started off pretty much the same.
Jeliazkov raised to 25,000 in mid-position and Weissman three-bet to 50,000 one seat to his left. We then got dragged into the Reynolds/Augustino fracas but believed Jeliazkov just called. The flop was 
and Jeliazkov check-raised to 140,000 after Weissman had c-bet 60,000. Weissman made the call, the was checked through and we finally saw the on the river. Jeliazkov bet 150,000 and Weissman made a very quick call. It was Jeliazkov with but the pot went to Weissman who was holding 
for trips.

It has not taken long to lose our first player…thirteen minutes in fact. That unfortunate nameplate has just been affixed to Nicholas Augustino. He made a standard raise on the button and when the action folded to Stephen Reynolds in the big blind he moved all-in. It was just what Augustino had ben waiting for and he snap-called.
| Augustino | |
| Reynolds |  |
The PokerNews Odds Calculator shows us that Augustino was a 59.82% favorite to win the hand. The flop came down 
and despite Reynolds taking the lead Augustino was still a 59.39% favorite because of his additional flush-outs. The turn swung the pendulum around and he was now a 38.64% dog before the on the river made the percentages completely irrlevant. Augustino was out.

Michael Gagliano opened from under the gun and made it 27,000 to anyone who wanted to see a flop. Larry Duplantis made the call and action folded around to Joshua Pedraza in the big blind who moved all in for 120,000. Gagliano then put out a four-bet of 500,000 to scare off Duplantis. A Duplantis fold lead to both players cards being tabled.
Gagliano:
Pedraza:
The board came 
and Pedraza was able to double up despite Gagliano having plenty of potential outs.
