In a heads-up pot, the flop was J♥5♦10♥ and Ryan Hughes in the big blind check-called a bet of 2,000 from Juan Mora seated under the gun.
The same action happened on the K♥ turn, this time for 3,000.
The 5♥ fell on the river and this time Hughes check-folded after Mora sent a last bet for 7,000.
Rytis Strigunas had a three-bet of 6,500 in front of him from middle position before Mark Jackson, in early position, reraised to 20,000. Strigunas then moved all in for 62,500 and Jackson snap-called.
Rytis Strigunas: A♦A♠
Mark Jackson: K♦K♣
It was a classic cooler early on Day 2 and Jackson didn't find any miracles on the 5♦4♥Q♦9♣8♥ board, so Strigunas doubled up.
Joel Shulruf raised in middle position to 1,800 and got called by Armando Caldera in the cutoff as well as Ronald Cook and Greg Buonocore in the blinds.
The quartet checked all the way through the board Q♦7♠7♥3♣ and a 6♥ landed on the river. It checked again to Caldera, who then decided to bet 13,000. It was enough to get a fold from his opponents and grab the pot.
The board Q♦K♥2♦5♠ was already dealt in a heads-up pot when Sylvain Loosli bet 12,000 from the big blind. Jason Riesenberg made the call from the button.
A 5♦ showed up on the river and Loosli checked. Riesenberg checked as well and mucked his cards after Loosli revealed K♦9♦ for the flush.
Four players went to a flop of 4♥K♦2♦ when Ryan Plant bet 1,800 from early position. A player in the cutoff called, as did Noah Schwartz in the big blind.
All three players checked the 4♦ turn before the 10♣ fell on the river. Schwartz now led out for 3,300 as Plant began tanking.
He eventually folded after around a minute, before the cutoff quickly threw in a call. Schwartz turned over K♣J♦ for two pair and his lone remaining opponent mucked.
The board was dealt in full as it read 3♥6♠J♣8♠Q♣.
Ludovic Heude, in early position, checked the action over to Federico Castaing on the button. Castaing bet out for 10,100 into a pot of approximately 42,000.
Heude thought about his decision before making the call and being shown the good news. Castaing tabled 9♠7♠ for busted flush and straight draws, allowing Heude to claim the pot as he tabled K♥J♥ for a pair of jacks.
Alex Massman raised to 1,600 from the cutoff and Simeon Spasov called from the button. Abdulrahim Amer put in the three-bet from the big blind, Massman folded and Spasov called again.
Amer led out 3,600 on a 5♦7♦5♥ flop, and Spasov came along. Both players then checked through a 10♣ turn and a 9♠ river.
Amer revealed that his J♦10♦ flush draw had turned into a pair of tens on the turn, good enough for the win.
Sarah Wien opened to 2,100 from under the gun and picked up three callers along the way including Tyler Cornell in the hijack. The flop came A♣J♠3♥ and the action checked around to the J♦ ono the turn.
The action checked to Cornell again and this time he made a bet of 5,000. Wien was the only player to call and they went heads-up to the K♥ on the river. Wien checked once more and Cornell announced a bet of 17,000. Wien instantly folded and Cornell scooped the pot.
Jason Marshman raised to 2,000 in early position and in the big blind Daniel Zack defended.
The flop rolled out Q♠4♦5♠ and Zack checked over to Marshman who continued for another 2,000 which saw Zack raise to 5,500. Marshman raised to 27,000 and Zack moved all in for 28,100 total which Marshman called.
Daniel Zack: A♠6♠
Jason Marshman: A♥Q♣
The board ran out 9♦8♥ and the reigning WSOP Player of the Year whiffed his flush draw, wished his tablemates luck, and exited this year's main event.
Picking up the action on the 9♣7♥2♣ flop, Nacho Barbero had two red T-5,000 chips out in front in the big blind with a short stack at his disposal. Jared Zack then raised it up to 25,000 and Barbero moved forward his remaining chips.
Nacho Barbero: Q♥9♥
Jared Zack: 10♠10♦
The J♥ turn gave Barbero some outs but the 5♦ river was a blank.
