Bariscan Betil raised to 1,200 from late position and the player in the big blind called.
The flop came 5♠5♣4♣ and the big blind check-called a bet of 700 from Betil.
On the 10♥ turn, the big blind checked and Betil sized up with a bet of 3,500. The big blind tossed his hand into the muck.
Betil explained to PokerNews after the hand that he had pocket aces.
Around 40,000 was already in the pot as Adrian Govea and Kyle Julius went heads-up to the turn on a board of Q♠2♣10♠7♠.
Govea, in the cutoff, then put in 50,000 and Julius snap-called for around 35,000, turning over Q♦Q♣ for top set.
Govea, though, had K♠9♠ for a flush and Julius needed the board to pair on the river to stay alive. The dealer instead flipped over the 3♣ and the massive pot was pushed to Govea, while Julius was forced to wait until next year.
Edward Ross opened the action with a raise to 1,200 from early position. Michael Brown three-bet to 3,500 from middle position and Assaf Zeharia cold called from the small blind. Ross called as well.
Brown continued for 4,000 on 5♠2♥7♦ and both Zeharia and Ross called.
Action went check-check on the 5♥ turn and 4♣ river. Zeharia tabled 9♥7♥ but it was no good against Brown's Q♠Q♣.
Edward Blount moved his short stack all in from the cutoff and Abelardo Achkar Sanz made the call from the big blind.
Edward Blount: A♥K♦ 
Abelardo Achkar Sanz: A♦5♥
The board ran out 5♦10♦6♦6♣6♥; Blount had the best of it preflop, but Achkar Sanz was the only one to find a pair on the five-card run out, sending his opponent to the rail.
The player under the gun raised to 1,000 and was called by Parker Talbot in middle position, Julien Martini in the cutoff, and the player in the big blind for a four-way pot.
Action checked to the initial raiser, who bet 1,100 on the 10♦J♣2♥ flop. Talbot called and Martini raised to 6,500. The big blind and initial bettor folded, but Talbot called.
Talbot check-called a 14,000 bet from Martini on the 5♣ turn and then check-called all in on the 7♦ river after Martini shoved.
Martini held 2♦2♠ for a set of deuces, but they were no good against Talbot's 10♠10♣ for a set of tens for the double up.

Top Tip #3: Think About You

"My third and final tip for the WSOP Main Event is don't do what everyone else is doing. The majority of people who play poker are losing players. So don't worry about what everyone else is doing and what they're saying. Because if you're doing what the masses are doing, you're probably not winning.
Jaka says that a common mistake players make during the Main Event is trying to see too many flops.
"People will want to see cheap flops, so there will be a raise and a bunch of calls. You don't want to join their party. You want to fold and play tighter when it's going multiway.
"Or you want a three-bet squeeze and thin the field and get it heads up."
Level: 5
Blinds: 300/600

Melvyn Carter moved all in for 8,000 in early position and Louis Bailey called in the hijack.
Melvyn Carter: J♣J♠
Louis Bailey: A♦A♣
"Aces for the third time today, huh," a tablemate said to Bailey who was far in front and poised for a knockout.
The board ran out 2♥7♦6♥2♦6♠ and Bailey secured the pot to send Carter to the rail.
WSOP bracelet winners Chad Eveslage and Frank Funaro are also at this table.
Matt Affleck raised to 2,500 from middle position and Dimitrios Mylonas three-bet to 5,000 from the hijack. Action folded back around to Affleck, who four-bet to 14,000.
Mylonas put his remaining 31,000 into the middle and Affleck called to put Mylonas at risk.
Dimitrios Mylonas: J♠J♥
Matt Affleck: K♥K♣
Affleck was well ahead with his kings, and the Q♦6♥9♠6♠A♦ runout changed nothing to send the pot Affleck's way and eliminate Mylonas.
