flop, and then Conway check-called a bet of 95,000 on the 
turn.

river, which prompted Conway to roll over 
. Julius took a good look at his opponent's cards and then revealed the winning 
.

Matt Giannetti opened to 85,000 from the button it was folded over to Dan Smith in the big blind, who re-popped it to 200,000. Giannetti paused and announced he was all in for a bit under 600,000. Smith quickly made the call and Giannetti would be at risk.
Showdown
Giannetti: 
Smith: 
The 
flop left Smith with a commanding lead, however, Giannetti still had outs to a straight. It wasn't meant to be, though, as the 
turn and river bricked for Giannetti and he was sent to the rail in 7th place.
Giannetti, who already has tournament winnings in excess of $3 million, will add $112,725 more for his efforts today.

Action folded to Panayote Vilandos in the small blind and he limp. Dan Smith was in the big and decided to exercise his option with a raise to 140,000, which Vilandos called. Both players then checked the 
flop, and Vilandos check-folded to a bet of 200,000 from Smith on the 
river.
It wasn't much of a hand, but was a good opportunity to tell you a little about Vilandos. According to the WSOP Final Table Announcer Notes:
"Panayote is a 73-year-old family man from Athens, Greece. He now lives in Houston, Texas and works as an electrical engineer. Previously Panayote served in the Navy. He is married with two children and two grandchildren."

Action folded to Kevin Schulz on the button and he raised to 120,000, which Derek Gregory called from the small blind. Kyle Julius was in the big and opted on a three-bet to 315,000, Schulz got out of the way, and Gregory made the call.
The 
flop saw Gregory check, Julius bet 190,000, and Gregory check-raise to 500,000. Julius made the call and then both players checked the turn. Gregory checked for a third time on the 
river, and then snap-called when Julius bet 100,000. The latter rolled over 
for aces with a queen kicker, which was good as Gregory simply shook his head and mucked.
