Martin Kabrhel made a "big raise" to 45,000 from the hijack and faced Mikita Badziakouski, who defended from the big blind. "Check blind," Kabrhel told Badziakouski, who immediately put his headphones and sunglasses on.

Kabrhel continued for 35,000 on the 8♥K♥10♣ flop. Badziakouski check-called and checked the 9♦ turn. Kabrhel checked back.

Badziakouski led out for 210,000 on the 8♦ river. Kabrhel quickly folded, then turned toward Santhosh Suvarna and began singing the UEFA Champions League anthem. “The champion!” Kabrhel exclaimed before giving Suvarna a round of applause.

Chris Hunichen was down to his last 320,000 and was already all in on the button. He was covered by Bryn Kenney in the small blind and the players had just flipped their hands.

Chris Hunichen: 5♦5♥All in
Bryn Kenney: 7♦7♥

Hunichen needed to pick up on the runout, but missed on the 10♠2♠4♠K♥Q♠ board, and narrowly missed bagging for day 2.

Level 10 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Artur Martirosian got his 560,000 in preflop from the cutoff against Ren Lin in the hijack, and was at risk.

Artur Martirosian: A♦K♥ All in
Ren Lin: 6♠6♣

"Ace-king no good," Lin stated when he saw the cards, but it became the best hand on the 7♥J♥Q♠A♥9♥ runout to double up Martirosian.

Not much later, Lin opened to 40,000 under the gun. Biao Ding three-bet to 110,000 in the hijack, and Lin called.

The A♠7♠2♠ flop was fanned. Ding continued for 55,000, with Lin check-calling. The 4♦ turn was knuckled by both players, seeing the 9♦ appear on the river.

Lin checked for a third time, eliciting a bet of 220,000 from Ding. Lin had other plans, however, and put his opponent all in for 650,000. Ding had no intention of risking the remainder of his stack and quickly mucked.

Meanwhile, Jesse Lonis had left the field and was replaced by the newest entry, Martin Kabrhel.

Level 10 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Mikita Badziakouski opened to 40,000 from under the gun and Cary Katz called from early position. Ramiro Salinas raised to 80,000 from the cutoff and Katz remarked, "Are we playing limit?...You min-raised?". Both players called, taking them three-ways to the Q♦J♣8♣ flop.

Action checked to Salinas, who bet 150,000. Badziakouski raised to 300,000 and Katz folded. Salinas moved all in and Badziakouski snap called.

Ramiro Salinas: A♦A♠All in
Mikita Badziakouski: J♠J♦

Badziakouski was first to show, and Salinas looked at the set of jacks, stood and slammed down his pocket aces.

The dealer turned over the K♣, which brought in Salinas' hope of the straight. He retook his seat after seeing the 10♠ river go his way.

Level 10 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

After capturing his third WSOP bracelet in the $50,000 High Roller earlier today, Santhosh Suvarna wasted little time before jumping into the $100,000 High Roller.

Following a raise to 40,000 by Stephen Chidwick in middle position, Suvarna three-bet to 140,000 from the big blind. Chidwick four-bet all-in for 575,000 and Suvarna called.

Stephen Chidwick: A♦K♠ All in
Santhosh Suvarna: A♠Q♣

Chidwick kept the lead all the way through a board of 5♦6♣2♣6♥K♦ and doubled up.

Ren Lin raised to 40,000 in the hijack. Jesse Lonis upped the ante to 130,000 in the cutoff, which Lin called after some speech play.

Lonis continued for 160,000 on the Q♦10♠6♥ flop, which Lin check-called. Lin then went deep into the tank when the 10♣ hit the turn, spending one of his time banks before leading out for 300,000.

Lonis swiftly called, after which Lin reverted to a check on the 5♦ river. Lonis took some time to think, spending a time extension of his own before moving all in.

Lin snap-called for his stack of 765,000. Lonis revealed K♠K♣ for an overpair, but Lin had turned trips with 10♥8♥ to take down the gigantic pot of nearly 140 big blinds.

Biao Ding opened to 35,000 from under the gun and saw four calls from Bryn Kenney in the cutoff, Ren Lin on the button, Jesse Lonis in the small blind and Artur Martirosian in the big blind.

The 10♠7♥7♠ flop saw action check around to Lin, who bet 60,000. Lonis folded and Martirosian raised to 180,000. Ding and Kenney gave up their cards and Lin called.

The action continued heads up on the 4♠ turn with Martirosian using a time card before betting 180,000. Lin counted out the amount from his stack, then counted out the remaining and pulled it all back in, before moving it all into the middle to jam. Martirosian mucked his hand and Lin picked up the pot.

Level 10 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

After Adrian Mateos in middle position check-called a flop of A♣5♦7♦, he checked the 7♠ turn and saw Brandon Wilson in the hijack fire a second barrel to 230,000. Mateos went into the tank and called.

Mateos checked again the 4♠ river. This time, Wilson pushed almost all of his stack forward for a total of 1,600,000. It only took a few seconds for Mateos to fold.

Level 10 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Still in the previous level, Biao Ding raised it to 35,000 on the button, and Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 135,000 in the small blind. Ding called to the 6♣6♥4♣ flop, where he called Negreanu's bet of 75,000 as well.

Negreanu sized up to 250,000 on the 5♠ turn. Ding gave it some thought, but ended up folding his cards to forfeit the pot.

Simultaneously at another table, Chris Hunichen raised to 30,000 under the gun and was three-bet to 115,000 by Vinny Lingham in middle position. Hunichen called before he check-called Lingham's bet of 75,000 on the K♠4♥5♥ flop.

The 7♥ turn then checked through to the 7♣ river. Hunichen led out for a small bet of 30,000, but was raised to 100,000 by Lingham. Hunichen swiftly called.

Lingham showed K♥K♣ for top boat, and Hunichen's cards were quickly added to the muck.
