On the very first hand of the day, Manuel Reyes opened to 7,000,000 from middle position. Bradley Moore in the big blind went into the tank but folded an ace. Reyes showed an ace as well.

On the next hand, Reyes raised again to 6,000,000. Moore in the small blind three-bet all-in for 19,000,000 and Reyes snap-called.

Bradley Moore: A♥4♠ All in
Manuel Reyes: Q♥10♥

Moore was in the lead, but Reyes flopped top pair on 10♦7♠8♣. The 9♣J♦ runout completed a straight on the board, but Reyes, with his queen, had the best straight, and Moore became the first player eliminated of the day.

Level 40 : 1,000,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Ken Takayama shoved on the button when action folded round to him. Ian Pelz took his time, asked for a count, then made the call from the big blind.

Ken Takayama: A♥10♥ All in
Ian Pelz: 9♦9♥

It was a flip, and the board ran out nice and safe for Pelz, as the 3♠7♥J♠4♠2♥ runout gave him a huge chipstack. Starting the day just half an hour ago, he had less than a big blind more than the shortest stack. After winning two all ins in quick succession, he soars into second.

Ramond Takhsh: 8♥8♠ All in
Roland Israelashvili: K♦K♥

In this rare four-way all-in situation, Israelashvili's kings held on 2♣10♦2♠3♣7♣ and he scored a triple elimination to burst the final table bubble.

Level 43 : Blinds 3,000,000/6,000,000, 6,000,000 ante

Sang Sim raised to 10,000,000 with A♥A♣ and Roland Israelashvili made the call with 7♦7♣. Joseph Butler put on the squeeze with an all in for 125,000,000 holding A♦9♦. Sim called and Israelashvili folded.

The flop was a dramatic one as the J♦7♥8♦ scrolled across on a board that would have given Israelashvili a set and had Butler plenty live to win a massive pot.

The turn brought the 2♥ and anticipation built as the 6♣ completed the board and eliminated Butler. Sim cheered in victory as Butler came to terms with his exit.

Roland Israelashvili: 9♥9♦ All in
Ian Pelz: 10♥10♣

Israelashvili ran into a better pair. He did not improve on a board of 5♣K♠K♥3♣2♣ and was eliminated in 6th place, adding another WSOP cash to his record-breaking number of places in the money.

Manuel Reyes went all in for 100,000,000 with A♥7♥ and Yuanzhi Cao called off with A♣Q♠.

The flop was a sweat for Reyes as it fanned out K♥8♠5♥.
