The board read 
with about 25,000 in the middle already. Deric Williams had checked and Michael Ho had bet 17,200. Williams tanked but ended up going all-in. Ho asked for a count and the dealer confirmed Williams had 34,700 in total in front of him. Ho called with the bigger stack.
Deric Williams: 
Michael Ho: 
Williams had flopped top pair and Ho had a flush draw.
The river completed their board with the 
for Williams to unnecessarily improve to two pair, kings and deuces, to double up.

Arne Ruge had a good restart after the dinner break. In a hand where there was already about 18,000 in the middle, Ruge bet 15,000 on the 
board.
Chris Hunichen was the only other player in the hand and he called off the river bet. Ruge opened up for a set of fives and that was enough to take down the pot. Ruge is finally over the 50,000 mark again.

"You guys can't bust me or Ray (Romano) or we won't go to the feature table," Kevin Pollak joked before the dinner break and indeed that didn't happen, so their table was moved over to the main ESPN stage. The secondary table features Phil Laak, Farah Galfond, Brian Altman and Aram Zobian while the third feature table includes Scotty Nguyen and Cary Katz.
