Scotty Nguyen moved all in from early position for his last 73,000. Action folded to Jesse Decker, who called in the big blind.
Nguyen: 
Decker: 
Nguyen found some help on the 
flop, as he picked up a backdoor straight draw and some immediate outs to chop. The 
turn did him no good though, and the 
river was also a brick. He shrugged helplessly and headed for payouts.
With the departure of Nguyen, there are no longer any WSOP Main Event champions in the field.

With about 500,000 in the pot on a board reading 
, Jared Jaffee checked from the small blind. Dilovan Hussein was in the hijack and paused for a moment before checking back.
The river was the . Jaffee cut out some chips and fired out a bet worth 274,000. Hussein went into the tank, clearly agonizing over his decision. The two players played a big pot earlier where Hussein spiked a set of tens against Jaffee's jacks, but both players were completely silent.
After a couple of minutes, a player at the table called the clock. "Are you serious?" asked Hussein. "The only thing that beats me is a six." The tournament director confirmed he was going to give him 30 seconds, and after a short while Hussein called.
Jaffee mucked his cards and Hussein slammed down 
and exclaimed, "I'll snap-call you, bro. Let's go!" A person on the rail chuckled and said, "I don't think he knows what a snap-call is."
Hussein now sits on 1,500,000 while Jaffee has dropped to 350,000.

We found Ben Lamb facing a check-raise to 120,000 after putting in a continuation-bet from the hijack on a 
flop. The player in the big blind put in the raise, and Lamb called it after checking out his opponent's stack. Both checked the turn, and the big blind checked the river. Lamb bet 137,000, and he got a call after about a minute.
Lamb tabled and took the pot.
