Connor Drinan opened to 5,500 and was called by Nick Guagenti from the next seat over.

Drinan check-jammed the {q-Spades}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop and was quickly called.

Connor Drinan: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Nick Guagenti: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

Drinan had flopped Broadway but Guagenti had outs to a full house after making two pair. The {q-Clubs} turn filled Guagenti up and he secured the bust out after the {8-Diamonds} completed the board.

Looking for WSOP bracelet number 17 was Phil Hellmuth, however, his quest for another piece of WSOP hardware came to an early finish after he was despatched by Rheem. Other famous faces who failed to make it to the next stage were Danny Chang, Mike Matusow and Talal Shakerchi.

The prize pool and payouts have yet to be confirmed but will be announced when Day 2 gets underway. As this is the highest number of entries for this event, a record-setting prize pool is on the cards.
