Ronnie Abro: 
Abro directly flopped the joint on a 
board and locked it up after the 
turn and

Nicholas Rigby raised to 200,000 and called a three-bet to 525,000 from Dragana Lim.
Rigby checked on the 
flop and called when Lim bet 750,000. Rigby checked again on the turn and Lim bet 1,250,000. Rigby let his hand go.
The temporary defeat did nothing to drown out the chants of "Rigby! Rigby!" coming from the player's rail.

Pete Chen: 
Tonio Röder: 
Chen was ahead but Röder was very live. Chen took out his phone and started recording what he hoped would be a double-up on his path to a deeper run as the dealer fanned the 
flop. Chen was still ahead but now needed to fade more outs.
The 
came on the turn to change nothing, but the spiked the river to give Röder a straight, sending Chen to the payout desk and leaving him with a video he may not want to watch again.

with around 1,000,000 in the middle already. Eliot Hudon checked to Olivier Rebello who bet 285,000. Hudon check-raised to 600,000 and Rebello called.
The river was the and Hudon pushed all in for 740,000. Rebello asked for a count and then dipped into the tank for a few minutes. Stephen Gerber called the clock but the rest of the table agreed to let Rebello have some more time.
Rebello eventually made the call and Hudon turned over for the nut flush. Rebello showed his 
before his cards went into the muck.

Shai Arbel:
Chris Dowling:
Arbel was dominated and with one foot out of the door after the flop. The turn gave him some hope and he indeed got there with the river. Arbel vaulted out of his seat in disbelief and loudly said "what the fuck is wrong with this table? It is so broken, can we please break this table?"
Another player chimed in right after with the words "this is a bad table if you are a good player."
A series of preflop raises saw Francis Cruz four-bet jam for 1,640,000 from the button only to have Mitchell Halverson snap-call from the small blind.
Francis Cruz:
Mitchell Halverson:
It was a classic race with Cruz looking to connect with either of his two overs but neither came after the 
flop hit the felt.
The turn brought possible chop outs if a four or nine were to fall but luckily for Cruz, it was the that completed the board on the river and kept his Main Event hopes alive.

Robert Cowen:
