Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better
Andrey Zaichenko raised on the button, Dennis Weiss reraised in the big blind, and Zaichenko called. Weiss then put in his last chips on the 8♣5♥2♦ flop and Zaichenko called.
Dennis Weiss: A♠Q♦7♣2♣ 
Andrey Zaichenko: A♣6♦4♣4♦
The board ran out K♥9♠ and Zaichenko's pair of fours was enough to earn him the high, while he also had a low to scoop the pot and send the WSOP bracelet winner to the rail.

Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw
Kevin Xu opened the button, David Wesson three-bet from the big blind, and Xu called.
Wesson stood pat and Xu took one and called a bet of 15,000.
Xu took one again and Wesson led for 20,000. Xu then jammed for 66,000 and Wesson snapped it off. Both players turned over their hands despite there being one draw left.
Kevin Xu: 8x7x6x5x2x
David Wesson: 7x5x4x3x2x
Realizing his mistake Xu ditched the eight and the six but bricked as he hit the exit in a cooler scenario as Wesson was dealt number one.

Ken Deng and Dzmitry Urbanovich both drew two on the first draw and Deng bet. Urbanovich then raised and Deng called.

Urbanovich showed 9♣6♠4♥3♣2♥ and Deng had 8♦6♣4♣3♥ showing as he prepared to turn over his last card. "I need a deuce or a spade. Nope," Deng said, showing the J♣ as Urbanovich doubled up.

Action resumed on fifth which saw Ludlow lead and Wolcyn called. The action checked through on sixth before Wolcyn called a final bet on seventh.
Ludlow revealed his hole cards as he made an eight-six which was enough to drag a modest pot to start the day.

Badacey
Nam Le raised from the cutoff, Daniel Zack called on the button, and Ryan Hoenig came along from the big blind.
Hoenig took three, Le took two, and Zack stood pat. The action checked to Zack who bet and only Le called.
Le took one on the second draw and check-called all-in for 8,000. Both stood pat on the end.
Nam Le: 6♥5♠3♣2♦A♣
Daniel Zack: 6♣5♦4♥3♦A♦
Both players held monster badacey hands, but Le had Zack pipped on both sides with a six-five-three low and badugi against the six-five-four (with no badugi) of Zack.

Badacey
Joseph Scheinberg bet after the first draw and both Todd Brenn in the cutoff and James Woods on the button called.
Scheinberg stood pat and bet his last chips, while Brenn took one and Woods two. Both opponents called.
"Six-five," Scheinberg announced as he briefly flashed his cards before being told there was still another draw to come. Woods insisted that Scheinberg be forced to show and asked for the floor to come over.
"It's critical we see those cards. I'm going to ask to check the cameras," Woods insisted. It took several minutes to resolve the matter, but it was eventually ruled that it was uncertain which cards Scheinberg had actually showed so he only turned over the 6♣5♠ he originally announced.
Brenn then took one and Woods two. Brenn bet and Woods snap-folded as Scheinberg showed 6♣5♠4♦3♠A♥ to scoop the pot and triple up.
