After a player raised to 1,300 and Tony Tran called, John Hennigan raised to 4,600. The initial raiser folded, but Tran called. The dealer then spread 
on the flop, and Tran led out for 6,000. Hennigan quickly raised to 15,000, and Tran went into the tank. After about a minute, he decided to fold, and "Johnny World" Hennigan took the pot. He's now up to 59,000.

When we arrived at Table 413, Dan Fleyshman had a bet of 13,000 sitting in front of him on the river of a 
board. His opponent, Olivier Busquet, opted to raise, making it 46,500 to go. Fleyshman asked for an amount, then shifted in his seat.
Arms crossed, Fleyshman studied Busquet, who stared down at a spot on the felt. Finally, Fleyshman flung forward a few orange T5,000 chips, and Busquet ripped over 
.
"What's that?" Fleyshman asked, as the two were at opposite ends of the table.
"Straight," Busquet announced, just loud enough for Fleyshman to hear.
Fleyshman frowned at the bad news, and the dealer pulled his hand into the muck.

Action had folded all the way to Ryan Fair who was in the cutoff seat. He raised to 1,500. A few seats over the player on the button reraised all in for a just about 6,200. Action folded back to Fair and he quickly made the call.
All In: 
Fair: 
The flop came down 
which gave Fair a few more outs to a gutshot straight draw. The turn was the 
though, giving Fair and open-ended straight draw, but also taking away any heart as an out. The river was the 
and that gave the all in player the nut flush, allowing him to double up his very short stack through Fair.

On a board of 
and the pot swelling at around 15,000 we found Elisabeth Hille betting out 10,500 only to have her opponent move all in for roughly 35,000.
Hille instantly called and tabled her 
to have her opponent and his 
drawing dead.
The river changed nothing, and as Hille raked in the pot, multiple players on her table said a combination of "good hand" and "nice hand" as she quietly stacked her chips to roughly 130,000 and change.

Prior to the start of play today, Russell Thomas — a.k.a. @RunGoodRussell, the fourth-place finisher in last year's WSOP Main Event — got a look at his starting table and sent out a tweet a short while before starting play.
Many players tend to check the seat draws before the start of a new day at the Main Event, and while Tracy Skeen — Seat 1 at Thomas's table — admits she isn't too up on searching the web, she has a friend who is and who filled her in on many of her opponents at today's table.
Just now she was sharing with the table what her friend found out about them all. "He should be a private eye!" she added, and then mentioned Thomas's tweet.
"I was just saying I liked my table," said Thomas by way of explanation and with a sheepish grin. "You mean you weren't saying 'nut in Seat 1'?" asked Skeen jokingly, and Thomas grinned.
Skeen then started identifying some of the others at the the table, and the chuckles continued. "Stop telling everyone our names!" said one, and the table laughed some more.
Of course, the further these players go, the more likely their names will become better known to others, something Thomas well knows thanks to his deep run from a year ago.
