Ryan Hughes raised to 24,000 from early position. Tim Seidensticker three-bet to 90,000. When it folded back to Hughes he made the call.
On the 3♣4♦8♥ flop Hughes fired out a pot-size bet, which was enough put Seidensticker to the test for his remaining chips. After some thought Seidensticker decided to fold his hand.
David Benyamine raised to 30,000 preflop and was called by a player in the cutoff and Nitesh Rawtani in the small blind.
On the 3♠10♣3♣ flop, Benyamine continued for 35,000 chips, which folded out the cutoff. Rawtani check-called, however, before both players checked the 7♠ turn.
Rawtani then made a bet of 110,000 on the Q♣ river, sending Benyamine in the tank for several minutes.
Eventually, the old-school player let his hand go and surrendered the pot.

Michael Jordan. Tom Brady. Tiger Woods. Serena Williams. Phil Ivey. What do these five superstars have in common? They're all widely considered the best to have ever done it in their respective sports.
On Thursday, Ivey captured his 11th World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet when he took down Event #29: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship (6-Handed). That puts him alone in second place behind the 17 bracelets Phil Hellmuth holds.
PokerNews asked some players at the WSOP why they think Ivey is the G.O.A.T., and we received some interesting answers from some of the best in the game.
Players are now on a 60-minute dinner break and will return at 9 p.m. local time
