Schutten and Schultz-Pedersen checked the 9♥8♣5♠ flop to Cohen, who bet 21,000. Only Schutten called.
The turn J♦ saw Schutten check again. Cohen continued the aggression and put out a bet of 35,000 with about 95,000 chips behind. Schutten then check-raised all-in for Cohen's remaining chips. After doing a little inventory, Cohen tossed his hand into the muck

Michael Jozoff has had a much better time on his second bullet, turning the 150,000 starting stack into 1,200,000 by the final level of Day 1.
He was in the mix again, opening to 12,000 from the cutoff. The button folded before Paulius Plausinaitis three-bet to 48,000 from the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and Jozoff called.
Plausinaitis made a continuation bet on the J♥6♥2♣ flop and Jozoff quickly open-folded his A♦8♦. Plausinaitis flashed an A♥ and took in the pot.

Brek Schutten opened to 15,000 from the cutoff before Aleksejs Ponakovs three-bet to 48,000 from the small blind. WSOP Player of the Year Ian Matakis was in the big blind and reraised to 84,000. Schutten got out of the way and then Ponakovs called.
Ponakovs check-jammed for around 190,000 over a bet of 20,000 on the 8♠6♣3♠ flop. Matakis wasted little time in folding.
