Action was picked up on the turn in a pot between Freddy Deeb in the cutoff and Thomas Cazayous in late position with a pot containing 13,700.
With a board reading 6♣10♣5♠J♣, Cazayous checked over to Deeb who bet 17,000 and Cazayous called.
Cazayous checked the river 9♠ over to Deeb who bet 40,000 and Cazayous went into the tank. After some thought he tossed his hand into muck and the WSOP bracelet winner took down the pot.
Zane Desilva called in late position, while Clayton Quint in the hijack raised to 1,500. Samuel Bauchert raised to 6,300 in the cutoff and Desilva called, while Quint raised to 18,400. Both Bauchert and Desilva called.
The flop rolled out 6♣7♥Q♥ and Desilva jammed all in for 14,400 which prompted Quint to jam all in for more. Bauchert shook his head and flashed K♥K♣ as he tossed into the muck.
Zane Desilva: 7♦7♣ 
Clayton Quint: A♦A♣
Desilva had flopped a set of sevens that further improved to sevens full on the runout of 6♦5♠ and he secured a massive pot at the expense of Quint and Bauchert.
With almost 20,000 in the pot already preflop, Towa Shibata checked first from early position on a flop of 5♣A♠5♠. Shibata's opponent in the hand was Wendeen Eolis, who was the first woman to cash in the WSOP Main Event back in 1986. Eolis opted to fire out a bet of 12,000, and Shibata responded by instantly folding.
With 24,000 already in the pot, cutoff Simon Lofberg checked the 4♦5♣Q♥3♠9♣ river over to Mark Zajdner on the button, who bet 11,000.
Lofberg took little time before he tossed in a call. Zajdner could only show ace-high with A♣J♣, leaving Lofberg to take the pot as he had hero-called with 7♥7♦.
With around 11,000 already in the middle on a board of 9♦4♣3♥2♦, Jason Cooper checked from the cutoff, and Vinicius Escossi bet roughly 9,000 from the button. Cooper quickly check-raised to 30,000, causing Escossi to go into the tank. After pondering for quite some time, Escossi jammed for 52,000, and Cooper instantly called.
Vinicius Escossi: K♥K♦
Jason Cooper: 9♣9♥
Escossi had an overpair with pocket kings, but was behind to Cooper's flopped set of nines.
Escossi was already out of his seat and heading for the exit as the A♠ rolled off on the river, cementing his elimination from the Main Event.
Action was picked up on the flop in a pot between David Abramowicz in first position and Wesley Cannon on the button with 2,800 in the middle.
The flop rolled out K♣9♥10♥ and Abramowicz check-called a bet of 2,500 from Cannon.
Abramowicz checked the turn J♣ over to Cannon who bet 4,000 and Abramowicz.
On the river A♦, Abramowicz checked a third time over to Cannon who bet 7,500 and Abramowicz called.
Cannon turned over Q♣J♥ for Broadway and Abramowicz mucked his hand, ceding his hand to the Midwestern poker legend and podcast host.
Daniel Echols under the gun and Chris Hunichen on the button had created a pot of 35,500 when they arrived on the 5♦9♣7♣4♦ turn.
Echols checked to Hunichen, who bet 14,000. After a small tank, Echols moved all in for 36,500.
"Do you have aces?" Hunichen sighed as he quickly called off.
Daniel Echols: A♥A♦
Chris Hunichen: K♥K♣
Hunichen had guessed correctly, and Echols' rockets held on the 4♥ river to secure his double-up, leaving Hunichen with a stack of about 80 big blinds.
The players have gone on a 20-minute break.
Here below are some of the highlights of the past two hours of play.
Constantino Artee had gotten his stack of 53,500 in before the flop and was at risk against Dennis Morrison.
Constantino Artee: K♠K♥
Dennis Morrison: A♠A♣
Morrison left Artee drawing dead after the J♦Q♦4♦A♦ turn, and the meaningless Q♠ river completed the board.
Artee saw his Main Event dreams crushed in Level 1, while Morisson gleefully raked in the pot, which was worth about 550 big blinds.
Shawn Partovi in the big blind, Ole Nygaard in middle position, and Emery Martindale in the hijack had gathered a humongous pot of 56,000 when they saw the Q♥3♥Q♣10♣ turn. All three checked to the 6♠ river, where Partovi bet 8,000.
Nygaard tossed in a call, and Martindale quickly followed suit.
Partovi stood up and triumphantly smashed his Q♠Q♦ on the table. His flopped quads sent the cards of Nygaard and Martindale to the muck.
"I almost folded preflop," Martindale claimed, stating he had pocket kings. The whole table agreed Nygaard could only have had aces as Partovi was awarded the giant pile of chips.
