Matusow: 
Welsh: 
Matusow had top set and the nut low draw against a flush draw, top pair and the nut low draw. The turn locked up the high half for Matusow and he asked for paint. Instead, it was the 
, but that still gave him a sweeper playing a seven-three for low.

Nikolai Yakovenko has just taken a seat in today's tournament, and in doing so it has taken the tournament entrants to 103 which is one more then last year.
With registration open until the beginning of Day 2 (approximately 2:00 p.m. on Friday June 8th), a few more numbers are expected to trickle into the field.
However the record number of 118 set in 2016 when the event was won by Jean Gaspard is probably out of question.
