In a three-way pot, the board already showed J♣5♥J♠3♥ when Abel Meijbergbet 2,000 in the small blind. Antonin Teisseire called in the big blind and so did Andreas Burger in the cutoff.
The river brought the 7♠ and Meijberg quickly sent 6,000. Teisseire considered it for some time but folded. Burger on the other way decided to call, only to see J♥10♥ in Meijberg's hand for trips.
Burger sent A♣A♥ into the muck.
Josh Mitchell was in late position and made a raise to 1,000 and received a call from the player in the cutoff and the small blind. The flop came out 7♣2♦K♣. The small blind checked and Mitchell came out firing with 2,600 and received a call from the small blind.
On the turn 9♦ the small blind checked again and Mitchell kept up the aggression and made a bet of 4,400. The small blind obliged with a call.
The river was the 10♠ and Mitchell slowed down and checked behind. Mitchell turned over 5♣5♠ for the pair. The small blind mucked and stated, "I had a f***** jillion outs".
There was a raise to 800 from under the gun and five players ended up going to the flop of K♥8♥2♦. The preflop raiser continued with a bet of 2,000 and was called by Qui Nguyen in the cutoff and Michael Schwartz in the big blind.
The turn brought the 5♣ and the action checked to Nguyen who bet 4,200. Schwartz called and the other player got out of the way. The river was the 10♣ and both players quickly checked. Schwartz turned over K♦3♦ and Nguyen held K♣4♣ as they both earned half of the pot.
Pfizer Jordan raised to 1,000 from early position and was called by the player in the hijack.
Both players checked on the 4♣Q♦7♥ flop and then Jordan bet 2,000 on the 10♥ turn. Jordan's opponent quickly folded and Jordan added to his stack, which currently sits a bit over 100,000.
PokerNews was called over to a lively Table #117 in Paris Purple section. All of the players have been joking and laughing every hand and enjoying the Main Event experience.
Robert Urbatsch opened the action to 800 from middle position and both David Rivas in the small blind and the big blind made the call.
The flop came K♠J♠2♣ and action checked to Urbatsch who continued for 1,100, which only Rivas called. On the 10♣ turn both players checked their options to the 2♠ river.
Once again both players tapped the table and the cards were shown. Rivas rolled over Q♣10♥ for a pair of tens, but Urbatsch opened A♠10♦ for a better kicker to score the pot.
"I beat you every time you have a queen," said Urbatsch as he stacked his chips.
Rivas let out a loud "neigh" pretending to be a horse while the whole table continued to laugh and have a good time.
Seeing a board of 5♣3♦6♣2♦ Adam Swan, who had a runner-up finish in the recent $1,500 Freezeout No-Limit Holdem event, moved all in for 44,300 from middle position.
His opponent in the cutoff went into the tank, his eyes moving back and forth as he performed the necessary calculations. Not producing the right outcome, he folded.
A friend of Swan's from a nearby table celebrated the victory, yelling, "Adam has won the Main Event!"
"Please don't put down that I won the Main Event," Swan requested.
A player in early position raised to 1,200 and got called by Brian Maney in the small blind and the player in the big blind, leading to a 5♥K♠10♥ flop.
All three players checked through to bring the 9♦ out on the turn.
Maney decided to lead into his two opponents for 1,200 and found a call in the big blind with the initial raiser folding to bring the 4♣ out on the river.
Maney led once more, again for 1,200, and after about a minute of thought, the big blind put in calling chips and watched as Maney turned over the K♣8♠.
The big blind quickly folded and the dealer collected the pot to award to Maney.
Tim Reilly raised to 1,000 in the hijack and three players called him including Alexane Najchaus in the small blind and Alexander Farahi in the big blind.
The flop came out K♦J♠7♥ and action checked around to the cutoff player who bet 2,100 which all three of the other players called.
Action checked through on the J♥ turn and the 8♥ river and Najchaus shook her head as she frustratingly tabled K♥J♦ for a full house which was good for the pot as all the other players mucked their hands.
What would the World Series of Poker Main Event be without a grand entrance from Phil Hellmuth?
The "Poker Brat" showed up for the Day 1d session as P. T. Barnum from The Greatest Showman and was accompanied by his pet lion and aptly nicknamed Dan "Jungleman" Cates.
The reception to Hellmuth's arrival was warmer this summer, a stark contrast from the chorus of boos that greeted him last year.
