Arriving at the table on the turn, we saw JP Kelly in the big blind fire out a 3,200 bet on the turn of a board against John Dolan who was on the button.
Dolan though raised to 8,625 and Kelly called after some brief deliberation. The river was the and Kelly checked, Dolan sliding out a bet of 16,200.

The turn and river fell and Furlong's hopes to repeat World Series Main Event glory are at an end.
David Benyamine was all in preflop and called by JC Tran and another player. The flop came down and Tran fired 4,200. The other player left in the hand that was active and called.
The turn brought the and both Tran and the other player checked while Benyamine awaited his fate patiently. The river brought the and both players checked. Tran mucked as the other player tabled the . Benyamine held the and was eliminated.
From under the gun, Phil Ivey raised to 1,100. Noel Furlong called from the button and the player in the big blind made the call as well. The flop came down and the big blind checked. Ivey fired 2,000 and Furlong folded. The big blind then put in a raise to 6,000 and Ivey folded.
