Guillermo Sanchez Otero opened to 600,000 in early position and Rodrigo Garrido Portaleoni called from the next seat before Jessie Bryant three-bet jammed a stack of 4,000,000 in the big blind. Otero folded and Portaleoni called with a bigger stack.
Jessie Bryant: K♥K♠ 
Rodrigo Garrido Portaleoni: 8♦8♣
Bryant's kings held up for a double as the board ran out a safe 10♥A♦9♥Q♥4♦ and he cheered in celebration.
Malcolm Franchi went all in for 3,875,000 on the button and was looked up by Jessie Bryant in the small blind.
Malcolm Franchi: A♣8♦
Jessie Bryant: K♠K♥
Bryant found pocket kings twice in two hands, but this time he would lose with them as the A♠2♥A♦6♦9♦ flop made Franchi trips to double up.
Jason James opened to 600,000 from middle position and was called by Luis Vazquez on the button. Jason Hoffman then three-bet to 2,200,000 out of the small blind only to see James four-bet to 14,225,000. Vazquez got out of the way but Hoffman called off for less to put himself at risk.
Jason Hoffman: K♠K♥
Jason James: 9♠9♥
Hoffman was in excellent position to score a full double, that is until the flop came 9♣Q♣A♥. The A♠ turn did give him some additional outs, though he was unable to connect on the J♠ river to send a huge pot to James while forcing Hoffman out in 42nd place courtesy of a bad beat.
From under the gun, Giovanni Zanette raised to 700,000. Two seats over, Malo Latinois three-bet to 1,700,000 and Zanette called to see a flop of 4♥4♦2♣. Zanette check-called a bet worth 800,000 and they then checked the 3♦ on the turn.
Zanette checked the K♠ river and Latinois moved forward a stack worth 10,000,000 to send Zanette into agony. One minute later, the South African sigh-folded.
Andres Gonzalez opened to 600,000 from middle position with the 9♠7♠ and Shundan Xiao called from the cutoff. Niklas Astedt also came along from the big blind.
The Q♦10♥5♠ flop checked through to the A♠ turn. Astedt led out for 1,500,000, folding out Gonzalez while Xiao stuck around.
The 4♣ completed the board and Astedt made it 4,200,000. Xiao thought for a bit and made the call.
Astedt tabled K♠8♠, and was bested by Xiao's A♣2♣, which was good for a pair of aces.
Jordan Griff raised to 600,000 under the gun, Kyosuke Nagami moved all in for 4,900,000 in middle position, and Griff called.
Kyosuke Nagami: J♠J♦
Jordan Griff: A♥A♣
Nagami had run into Griff's aces and was at risk of elimination until the flop brought J♥10♥4♦, giving him top set. Griff was left looking for a two-outer but didn't find any miracles on the 5♣ turn or 7♥ river as Nagami doubled up.
Nothing beats hitting a Royal Flush deep in poker's biggest event of the year, especially when it leads to a double-up.
Not only that, but Day 7 of the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event has seen a straight flush hit, and the start-of-day chip leader didn't even make it close to dinner break. Oh, and there's a strong possibility the world championship event will have its first woman at the final table since 1995. Are you not entertained?
Over on the outer tables, Daniel Zadok raised the cutoff and was called by Malo Latinois in the big blind. The 8♠6♦3♦ flop was check-raised to 800,000 by Latinois, who then bet the 6♥ turn for 1,000,000. Zadok raised to 2,800,000 and Latinois called before Zadok opted to check behind the 7♠ river.
Latinois tabled the K♥6♣ for trips sixes and dragged in another pot.
