Three ways on a flop of 4♠K♣10♠ with over 30,000 in the middle, Paul Jager checked from middle position, Stephen Chidwick checked from the hijack, and Vinny Lingham checked from the cutoff.
The A♥ came on the turn and Jager wagered 15,000. Chidwick called and Lingham got out of the way.
Jager fired 80,000 into the middle after the J♣ landed on the river and Chidwick let his hand go after a bit of thought.

Having recently been eliminated, Edward Pak rejoined the field and hopped straight back into the action.
Chang Lee opened to 7,000 from under the gun and, one seat to his left, Pak three-bet to 20,000, which Lee called.
Lee checked in flow and called when Pak continued with a bet of 16,000 on a K♠6♣10♣ flop.
The action checked through on the Q♥ turn, prompting Lee to take the initiative on the 5♥ river.
His bet of 55,000 was quickly called by Pak, who mucked his hand when Lee tabled J♣9♣ for a turned straight.

Anatoly Zlotnikov raised to 7,000 from early position and received two calls. In the small blind, Aleksejs Ponakovs three-bet to 35,000 and only Zlotnikov called.
The flop rolled out J♣8♣6♥ and Ponakovs continued for 35,000 to see Zlotnikov call.
On the turn 6♣, Ponakovs bet 55,000 and Zlotnikov called a second time.
Ponakovs moved all in on the river 5♥ for 96,000 and Zlotnikov snap-called.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♠A♥ 
Anatoly Zlotnikov: 5♦5♣
Zlotnikov had rivered fives full of sixes to crack Ponakovs' aces and the WSOP bracelet winner exited the tournament.

: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Fabian Gumz opened to 7,000 first to act and called a three-bet from Samuel Mullur, who was in the hijack.
Both players checked on the 9♦3♥7♠ and then Mullur called a 38,000 bet from Gumz on the 6♦ turn.
Gumz downbet to 30,000 after the 4♦ filled the river and Mullur used up a time extension before sticking in a call.
Gumz revelaed A♠5♠ for a straight and Mullur sent his hand into the muck.

Orpen Kisacikoglu raised to 6,500 from early position, and continued with a call when Yaman Nakdali three-bet to 19,000 in the hijack.
Kisacikoglu checked in flow on the 10♦8♦5♥ flop, and called when Nakdali continued for 21,000.
The action checked through on the K♠ turn, and Kisacikoglu checked for a third time on the Q♦ river. Nakdali flicked a bet of 50,000 into the middle, and Kisacikoglu opted to fold.
Level 2
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
The action was joined as Edward Pak was cutting out a large portion of his stack to double up Brian Breck.
A full 7♠3♠8♣6♥10♥ board was face up on the felt, and Pak had A♠A♥ tabled in front of him. It was no good, though, as Breck has 9♠8♠ flipped over, good for a rivered straight.
Once Pak had slid the 252,500 he was due across the table, he was left with just 11,000 in his stack. A few hands later, those chips found their way into the middle, but Pak was unable to win the all-in, and was eliminated.

Playing from the big blind, Stephen Chidwick checked the action to under the gun player Vinny Lingham on a 3♠A♣5♠ flop, with 23,000 already in the pot. Lingham bet 8,000, and Chidwick check-raised to 35,000, which Lingham called.
Chidwick barrelled for 80,000 on the 10♣ turn, which was enough to see Lingham cede, as he folded his hand.

Heads-up on a flop of 5♠10♣K♦ with over 100,000 already in the middle, Daniel Rezaei bet 40,000 from the small blind and Eelis Pärssinen called from middle position.
The 2♣ fell on the turn and Rezaei continued for 90,000. This time Pärssinen laid his hand down and Rezaei was sent the pot.
Rezaei, who took down a $50k High Roller at 2025 WSOP Paradise, is off to a good start and currently sits with approximately 425,000.
