On a completed board of 9♥6♣3♦2♥Q♥, Marco Meisser had jammed all-in and Michael McNicholas was deep into the tank before he eventually called. Meisser tabled his 3♣2♣ for the bottom two pair and McNicholas only held A♥J♣ for a bluff catcher to depart.
Patrik Jaros then jokingly mentioned that he helped because he previously check-raised big against McNicholas and "tilted him".
Seeing an under-the-gun raise ahead of him, Narongsak Dhanjaichon moved all in for around 90,000 from middle position. When the action folded to Nghia Le in the big blind, he re-shoved, forcing the initial raiser out.
Narongsak Dhanjaichon: A♦7♥ 
Nghia Le: A♣K♥
There was no relief for Dhanjaichon on the Q♠J♥2♦9♦3♦ runout, ending his Main Event dream for another year.
William Jewell raised to 25,000 under the gun, Boris Angelov put in a three-bet on the button, and Jewell quickly moved all in for 140,000. Angelov snap-called.
William Jewell: 10♣9♣
Boris Angelov: A♥K♠
Angelov hit top pair on the A♦J♥3♠ flop, and Jewell was left drawing dead after the 3♦ turn. The river was the 6♣, and the 2024 finalist scored the knockout as he moved up past 1,000,000.
MLB All-Star pitcher Dellin Betances also recently busted.
With around 150,000 in the middle on a flop of 6♠2♦J♣, Jose Garcia bet 40,000 from the cutoff and Atsushi Kato called in middle position.
The turn was the 3♥ and Garcia bet another 125,000. Kato again called to see the A♣ river, and he then led out for 200,000. Garcia came back with an all-in shove, and Garcia sighed before calling for 140,000 more.
Garcia turned over A♠A♦ for a rivered set, and Kato flung A♥J♦ into the muck as he made his exit.
Florian Guimond raised to 20,000 from under the gun, and JC Tran jammed for 97,000 from the next seat. Jose Lesta then four-bet to 175,000 from middle position, and when the action folded back to Guimond, he moved all in, having Lesta covered. After a bit of a tank, Lesta folded, preserving the 380,000 or so he had behind.
JC Tran: A♥Q♠
Florian Guimond: A♦K♥
Tran was dominated by Guimond's big slick, but looked over to his neighbor and asked, "You ok with a chop?" Guimond nodded, letting him know he wouldn't mind splitting the pot.
The dealer had other ideas, though, as the board ran out 9♠7♦5♠10♥3♦, keeping Guimond's ace-king best throughout. Tran wished the table good luck before making his way to the payout desk.
Tomas Bulksas open-shoved his stack of 238,000 from early position. It folded to Tony Dunst in the big blind, who mulled it over for a bit before calling with a covering stack.
Tomas Bulksas: A♣K♦
Tony Dunst: J♥J♣
Dunst's jacks held on the 10♦9♥4♥6♠7♠ runout, sending Bulksas to the payout desk. Over at another table, Mackenzie Katz, the daughter of Cary Katz, was eliminated as she cashed in her first-ever WSOP Main Event.
Aaron Barone raised to 20,000 under the gun before John Monnette three-bet to 58,000 in early position. Stephen Kehoe called in the big blind, as did Barone.
The flop came A♣Q♥4♥ and Monnette bet 76,000. Kehoe then raised to 157,000 and Barone folded, while Monnette moved all in for 300,000. Kehoe snap-called.
John Monnette: A♥K♦
Stephen Kehoe: Q♣Q♦
Monnette showed top pair, but he was already drawing thin as Kehoe turned over a set. The rest of the board ran out 7♣J♠, and Monnette was sent to the rail.
The action was joined on the turn of a K♥8♠4♠5♣ board, on which Matthew Zuk checked from the big blind. The action was then on Xuan Liu in the hijack, but before she acted, the dealer dealt the 2♥ river.
The floor was called, and they ruled that the action would continue as normal; following that, the river card would be shuffled back in and re-dealt.
Liu bet 70,000 into a pot of roughly 90,000, and Zuk responded by moving all in for 251,000, which Liu called.
Matthew Zuk: K♠9♦
Xuan Liu: 5♥5♦
As it turned out, the river card was irrelevant, as Zuk was already drawing dead.
The new river brought the same card, just a different suit, as the 2♠ completed the board.
