On the turn 8♥, Wong checked a second time over to Alley and he bet 75,000 to see Wong call.
Both players checked the river 10♥ and Wong tabled A♣Q♣ for queens up with an ace. It was second best against Alley's K♥K♠ for kings up and he took down a sizable pot off of the WSOP bracelet winner.
On a flop of 5♠J♣Q♣, Simeon Naydenov checked in middle position and Steven Snyder bet 35,000 on the button. Naydenov called.
Naydenov checked again on the 7♥ turn and Snyder bet 56,000. Naydenov called. Naydenov checked once more on the K♦ river and Snyder sized up to 155,000. Naydenov quickly slid his cards to the muck.
Action started with a limp from Tolga Demirel in early position. Cornelius Walker, in middle position, put in a raise to 10,000, which Demirel called.
The dealer spread a 9♣J♦J♣ flop, and Demirel check-called a bet of 17,000.
Both players then checked on the 7♥ turn, and the dealer provided them with the A♥ river.
Demirel checked for a third time, and Walker responded by sliding in seven T-25,000 chips for a bet of 175,000.
The bet was for more than Demirel had in his stack, so he was deciding for his tournament life. After a couple of minutes, he decided just to let his hand go, surrendering the pot to Walker.
Mauricio Salazar Sanchez raised it up and was called by both blinds including Bruno Soutavong and Charles Comeaux. The J♠10♥6♦ flop was checked to the Colombian who bet 9,000. Soutavong folded and Comeaux called.
That led them to the K♠ turn on which Comeaux checked again. Salazar Sanchez bet 26,000 and took down the pot without any further resistance.
With around 150,000 chips in the pot on a 9♣A♦J♣9♠6♥ board, Elilton Gouveia had fired 80,000 on the river from the small blind, which have Rohit Mariwalla in the big blind a decision.
The pair were exchanging words and Mariwalla seemed to have heard something that influenced his decision.
"I wish I didn't know that you were from Brazil," said Mariwalla. Eventually, he did call.
Gouveia then showed A♥Q♣ for a pair of aces, and Mariwalla mucked.
Steven Mccartney shoved for 60,000 from the cutoff and Michael Mizrachi called with a covering stack from the big blind to put him at risk.
Steven Mccartney: 9♦8♦
Michael Mizrachi: A♦J♠
Mccartney had an open-ended straight draw on the 10♣3♥7♦ flop and picked up a flush draw to go with it on the 2♦ turn. The A♠ river was a brick for Mccartney and he was sent to the rail while Mizrachi took the pot with top pair.
Alexander Ziskin began the action with a raise to 11,000 in early position. Two seats to his left, Lara Eisenberg made the call, and the rest of the table folded.
The dealer provided the two players a K♦K♣10♥ flop, which they both checked.
Ziksin checked again on the 8♣ turn, prompting Eisenberg to place a bet of 15,000. Ziskin called, and the two took a river.
When Ziskin checked for a third time on the 5♦, Eisenberg fired out again, this time for 40,000.
A suspicious Ziskin looked her up, making the call. Eisenberg showed 9♠7♠ for nine-high, and Ziskin rolled over his A♥J♥ for a superior ace-high.
Yuriy Kudrynskyy from the button and Benjamin Scrogins from the big blind were tangled in a pot with over 80,000 in the middle going to the turn with the board reading 10♦4♣2♠A♠. Scrogins checked to Kudrynskyy who bet 27,000 and Scrogins put in the call.
On the 7♠ river, Scrogins checked it over to Kudrynskyy who took a while to think before he did the same. Scrogins was quick to table his Q♦10♠. Kudrynskyy had a look at the cards before he too revealed Q♥10♥, and the pot was chopped.
Andrew Ostapchenko bet 17,000 on a flop of J♠3♣2♥ from middle position and Douglas Hobold called from the next seat. Samuel Choae folded from the cutoff and they went to the turn heads-up.
