With cards still face up at showdown, Koon had A♣K♣ on a board that read 10♥K♠J♦K♦7♥, falling to his opponent's 10♣10♠.

The under-the-gun player raised to 1,200, Martin Malone flatted in early position, and Nicholas Rigby three-bet shoved all in for 11,300 in late position, putting himself at risk. Under the gun, who covered both of his opponents, reshoved to isolate and Malone made the call, who had 24,600 to start the hand.
Nicholas Rigby: J♦J♠ 
Martin Malone: Q♦Q♥
Under the gun: 10♦10♠
The board ran out 9♣7♦Q♠9♦10♥, and Malone scooped both the main and side pots with a full house, queens full of nines.
Another deep run in the Main Event was not in the cards for Rigby this year, who was sent to the rail.

Action was caught on a flop of Q♥J♦2♠, in a hand between Paul Clements, who was under the gun and Mason Hinkle, in early position.
Clements check-called a bet of 3,000 from Hinkle, bringing the 7♦ turn. Clements check-called again, this time for 6,500 and the river landed the 5♣.
Clements checked once more and Hinkle fired out a bet of 10,000, prompting Clements to muck his hand.
At two nearby tables, Dan Heimiller and Dan Sepiol were seen leaving the tournament area, having recently been eliminated.

Gary Tomes got his chips into the middle on the Q♦10♣2♣9♦ turn and tabled his K♦Q♣ for top pair and a gutshot. He was drawing to a chop only as Marc DeSantis had turned the nut straight with the K♣J♠. The river was a blank and that sent the chips over to DeSantis.

Anthony Mullen, who had been nursing a short stack throughout most of the day, stopped by the PokerNews desk to report how he was eliminated from the Main Event.
He had three-bet preflop to 17,000 and received two callers. He then put the rest of his 9,000 chips in on the Q♦5♥10♣ rainbow board and was called by one opponent.
Anthony Mullen: K♥K♣
Opponent: AxQx
The turn bricked out, but the river brought an Ax to end Mullen's Main Event run on Day 1.

After a series of raises, the small blind was all-in for her last 42,500 and Michael Danley was looking for the knockout from middle position.
Small blind: A♣A♥
Michael Danley: 8♦8♠
The 9♦9♠4♠ flop was safe for the small blind as she looked to score the double up but the 8♥ landed on the turn. Danley jumped with joy as he yelled, "Yes!" And the 5♦ river changed nothing, sending the opponent away from the table is disgust.
