Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Comedian Kevin Pollak found himself sharing a table with Mark Newhouse and Benny Glaser. Another tablemate, Jinfeng Huo, then told Pollak it was her first time playing the Main Event.
"My deepest run was in my first one, too. That's how they get you," Pollak said.
Meanwhile, Joao Matos raised to 3,000 on the button and Glaser shoved from the big blind. Matos called for his last 30,000.
Joao Matos: A♦9♥ 
Benny Glaser: 8♦8♠
Matos took the lead on the 7♥9♠J♣ flop with a pair, and the J♠ fell on the turn. The river, though, brought the 8♥ to give Glaser a full house, and Matos was sent to the rail.
