Martin Kabrhel had become short-stacked and committed his final 12,000 into the middle with the player in the small blind making the call to put him at risk.
Martin Kabrhel: A♣Q♦
Small blind: 5♥5♠
The flop of 5♦K♠6♦ left Kabrhel drawing thin as his opponent had flopped a set. The 3♠ on the turn meant Kabrhel was drawing dead as a meaningless J♥ came on the river.
Ryo Hara, in early position, was all in preflop against the short-stacked player in the small blind, who had 42,500 remaining.
Small Blind: K♦K♣
Ryo Hara: A♥3♥
The flop came 7♥J♣10♠ and the small blind was still in the lead. That was until the turn and river landed the 6♥ and Q♥ respectively, giving Hara runner runner for the nut flush.
Dan Sepiol raised to 6,500 on the button, Maria Ho three-bet to 26,000 from the small blind, and Shaun Deeb four-bet all in for 183,500 from the big blind, putting himself at risk. Sepiol got out of the way and Ho quickly made the call.
Shaun Deeb: 7♠7♥
Maria Ho: Q♣Q♦
The board ran out 10♠5♥6♥A♣7♦, with Deeb finding the seven he needed on the river to double up and stay alive.
On a flop of 2♠3♦3♥, Antoine Labat in middle position bet 7,000 and he was called by Marc Foggin in the cutoff.
Labat continued for 8,500 on the 4♠ turn. Foggin made the call again.
The 5♥ river landed on the felt and Labat decided to go all-in for 140,000. It didn't take long for Foggin to call.
Marc Foggin: A♣J♦
Antoine Labat: K♥Q♥
Foggin hit a straight on the river, so he didn't hesitate long to call to double up.
In a blind-on-blind encounter on a flop of K♠K♣5♠, the small blind had checked and Phil Ivey bet 5,000. The small blind called and they headed to the turn.
The small blind check-called a bet of 14,000 from Ivey on the 9♦ turn.
When the river came the 2♥, the small blind checked for the final time and faced a bet of 28,500 from Ivey. After tanking for a short while, the small blind let go of his hand and forfeited the pot to Ivey.
Dillon Najor was seen stacking his chips after winning a sizable pot with a straight versus his opponent's set.
With cards still face up at showdown and the board reading 5♦9♠Q♥8♦J♣, Najor tabled Q♣10♣ for a straight while his opponent had JxJx.
Najor now has one of the largest stacks in the room.
Ryan Riess opened to 6,000 from middle position and he was called by the big blind.
On a flop of 3♠8♠A♣, the 2013 WSOP Main Event winner continued for 5,000 and the big blind check-called, then both players checked the 8♦ turn.
The 9♥ completed the board and the big blind led out for 16,000. Riess quickly folded.
Daisuke Ogita raised to 6,000 from middle position and Michael Jozoff defended out of the big blind.
Both players checked the J♥5♣3♥ flop to see the 5♠ peel off on the turn. Jozoff led out for 8,000 and Ogita called.
The river came the 8♥. Jozoff fired 20,000 into the middle and after a few moments, Ogita let his hand go.
