With limited media access to the new feature tables, PokerNews will provide updates where possible, alongside the results of the match-ups and the updated bracket as players are eliminated. Some matches will be streamed by the World Series of Poker, and our updates will follow the same delay as the live stream.
With K♠10♥, Martin Kabrhel raised the button to 2,500 and Julien Sitbon three-bet to 12,000 from the big blind holding A♠K♥. Kabrhel called and the flop fell 5♣10♣J♥.
Sitbon bet 8,000, which Kabrhel called to see a Q♠ arrive on the turn.
Sitbon fired a second barrel of 40,000, which was enough to get Kabrhel fold.
With the board showing 2♣8♣5♣6♥, Ivan Deyra bet 2,000 from the big blind and Thomas Muehloecker called on the button.
A final bet of 3,500 came from Deyra when he saw the K♠ river. Muehloecker called, but then mucked upon seeing the Q♣7♣ from Deyra for a flopped flush.
Phil Ivey raised to 10,000 preflop with pocket eights 8♦8♥, then fired another 8,000 on a flop of 7♠5♠Q♥.
Shota Nakanishi made the call with his flush draw 10♠4♠.
The board paired on the turn of Q♦, and Ivey again led out, this time for 20,000. Nakanishi stayed in.
The river brought the 3♠, which finally slowed Ivey, who checked. Nakanishi bet 100,000 with a flush.
Ivey's eyes darted from the board to Nakanishi and back, for just over a minute before he elected to fold.
Doug Polk raised to 3,000 on the button and Nikolai Mamut three-bet to 12,000 from the big blind. Polk four-bet to 36,000 with 10♠8♥, and Mamut continued with a call holding K♦K♠.
On the 3♥6♥4♣ flop, Mamut went for a check, and Polk bet 48,000. Mamut raised to 96,000, which got Polk to fold.
Phil Ivey raised to 3,000 and Shota Nakanishi defended the big blind.
Nakanishi check-called a bet of 1,800 on the 2♣Q♦A♥ flop.
An 8♠ on the turn checked through for the 4♥ to hit the river. Nakanishi bet 3,000 and Ivey made the call.
Nakanishi turned over 2♠2♥ for a flopped set to win the pot, as Ivey mcuked 9♣8♥ for a pair of eights.
Julien Sitbon raised to 3,000 on the button, and Martin Kabrhel called in the big blind.
The dealer spread a A♥Q♣10♥ flop, which saw the action check through.
Both players checked on the 5♣ turn as well, prompting Kabrhel to lead out for 8,200 on the K♦ river.
A curious Sitbon looked him up, but it was bad news. Kabrhel had rivered a straight with his J♠8♠, and which Sitbon could not beat with his 10♠4♠.
