The pot stood at approximately 18,400 with two players looking at a flop of 6♥J♠8♥.
The big blind bet out 9,000 and Christian Roberts, on the button made the call.
The 4♥ turn slowed down the big blind. Roberts thought for some time before taking the lead, betting out for a small wager of 6,000. The big blind eventually chose to fold.
A player opened to 1,000 in the cutoff and Georgios Sotiropoulos defended in the big blind.
Sotiropoulos check-called a 1,000 continuation on the 4♥J♦3♣ flop.
Both players checked through the 5♠ turn to the 4♦ river at which point Sotiropoulos checked once more. His opponent considered for a moment, then tapped the table with Sotiropoulos emerging best holding A♥6♦.
Calvin Anderson, Daniel Benor, and Axel Hallay checked a board of 5♦3♦7♣K♦K♣ all the way down to the river. Benor checked out of the small blind, which saw Hallay bet 1,600. Anderson raised to 6,500 and Benor folded. Hallay thought for a few minutes before making the call.
Anderson showed J♣10♣ for just jack-high. Hallay took down the pot with 8♠8♥.
As is tradition, Phil Hellmuth showed up for the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event fashionably late on Day 1c, and in full costume.
The "Poker Brat's" grand entrance took place after the second break, just before 5 p.m. PT. He wore a black karate gi and was flocked by a team of karate apprentices that included Scotty Nguyen, Joe Stapleton, Jeff Gross, American Pie star Shannon Elizabeth and upcoming Life Outside Poker guest Dan "Jungleman" Cates, who also made a memorable — and feral — entrance with Hellmuth last year.
The pot stood at 13,500 with three players looking at a flop of 5♥J♠2♦.
Both the blinds checked the action to Glenn Sullivan, in the hijack, who bet out 7,300. Only Harrison Olverd, in the small blind, made the call.
The Q♦ turn checked through to the A♦ river. Sullivan checked again and Olverd announced "Alright, I'm not gonna bet anymore" as he checked back.
Olverd tabled J♦J♣ for a flopped set of jacks, winning him this pot.
