Hugo Nazar moved all in for 40,500 from early position and Terik Brown made the call from the cutoff. The small blind quickly folded and Duy Ho in the big blind was ready to go, with his back bag already on his shoulders.
"Why do you have to call there. Man, you are lucky that I don't have a coin to flip. I fold," Ho said. "Can I show when I fold?" he asked the dealer and when that was approved, he turned over the . "Someone is gonna hit the eight or ten," Ho continued and watched the action unfold.
Nazar:
Brown:
The board ran out and Ho made a great fold, to which he applauded himself, too. Nazar is out and can now enjoy dinner as long as he wants to.
Duy Ho opened the action with a raise to 9,500 and Brandon Hall three-bet before Valentino Konakchiev moved all in. Ho folded pocket nines and Hall called with after having some history with Konakchiev before already.
The Bulgarian had pocket kings but the board gave hall a straight.

Ivan Saul raised to 8,000 from the hijack putting the action on Allyn Shulman in the cutoff. Shulman, in the midst of a shoulder massage, announced she was all-in and pushed her 63,000 chips across the betting line. Arnaud Mattern, on the button, confirmed the bet amount before moving all-in for his 104,500 stack,
Unsurprisingly following the action before them, both blinds folded. Saul looked like a man who wanted a call, but he exhaled loudly and mucked his hand leaving Shulman and Mattern to go head-to-head.
Mattern:
Shulman:
Mattern was a substantial favorite prelop, then a substantial underdog on the flop. The Frenchman retook the lead on the turn and stayed ahead when the completed the community cards.
Shulman paid for her massage, stood from her seat and headed to the payout desk to collect her winnings.
Jonathan Bodden got his remaining 90,000 chips in preflop against Dmitrii Shchepkin, who he had previously doubled up already.
Bodden:
Shchepkin:
The board ran out safely for the Russian and Bodden went from hero to zero. Apparently other players offered to buy Shchepkin a bottle of vodka for busting Bodden.
Martin Kozlov had just doubled up but now Ivan Saul sent him to the rail in a rather cruel fashion. Saul held in the preflop all in and Kozlov was way ahead with . However, the flop saw Saul improve and both the turn and the river could not save the Australian anymore.
The flop was checked through and on the turn, Jonathan Bodden and Lily Kiletto both committed 40,000 chips to the pot. After the river, Kiletto checked and Bodden was somewhat surprised.
"Are you setting me up here? Guess I have to go with the bluff again," Bodden said, then announced a bet of 100,000. Kiletto gave it some thought and made the call. Bodden was forced to turn over for a bluff gone horribly wrong and Kiletto won the pot with the .
Kim Ng limped from late position for 4,000 and the player in the small blind called before Martin Kozlov moved all in out of the big blind. Ng made the call and the other opponent folded.
Kozlov:
Ng:
The board ran out and both are now evenly stacked.
Valentino Konakchiev opened to 6,000 from the button and Terik Brown quickly made it 21,000 to go from the small blind. The big blind folded and Konakchiev followed suit.
Konakchiev, a Bulgarian national, has a number of impressive cashes to his name from European-based tournaments, but this is his first cash on U.S. soil and his first at a World Series of Poker. His largest cash weighs in at slightly more than $62,000 and if he wants to beat that impressive sum — and why would he not want to — he is going to have to finish fifth or better in this event.
We caught the action after a flop of and Jonathan Bodden was facing a bet from Dmitrii Shchepkin. Bodden moved all in and, after a brief thought, Shchepkin made the call. Shchepkin turned over and Bodden's was in need of a heart.
The board completed , however and Bodden was nearly halved as Shchepkin dragged the huge pot.
