From the hijack on a board of 8♣10♦Q♦A♦, Anthony Ibrahim bet 8,000, and Rusen Mat called from the button.

The 5♣ completed the board, and Ibrahim slid out two green T-25,000 chips, putting Mat all in for his remaining 30,000 or so.

Mat didn't take long to release his cards, surrendering the pot to Ibrahim, who has already amassed more than two starting stacks.

At a nearby table, josh Arieh took his seat and his begun his Main Event journey.

In a pot of around 20,000, Keith Rodriguez got his stack of 42,700 in on a 4♣6♠3♦X♥ turn, and was up against Michael Bellantoni, who had him just about covered.

Keith Rodriguez: 7♣5♣ All in
Michael Bellantoni: 4♠4♥

The river did not pair the board, shipping the pot to Rodriguez's straight. Bellantoni, meanwhile, was left with just ten big blinds to try and spin up.

The pot had grown to over 10,000 on a board that read 2♥6♠3♦J♥. Ryan Speak bet 10,000 on the turn from early position.

Rick Mechammil responded with a raise to 20,000 on the button.

Speak gave it some thought before he announced all-in for approximately 63,000. Mechammil mulled it over before he opted to fold as Speak took down the pot.

Joao Silva raised to 800 in early position, which Renato Roizenblit called in middle position. Dylan Smith then three-bet to 4,000 from the big blind, which both players called.

Smith continued with another bet of 4,000 on a 7♥7♦8♣ flop, which saw Silva fold and Roizenblit call.

The J♣ turn checked through, and the 3♣ completed the board.

Smith bet 10,000, which Roizenblit called before mucking his cards when Smith tabled Q♠Q♥.

Thomas Calzone from the small blind and Caio Ozawa from the cutoff went heads-up to the turn with 6,000 in the middle and the board reading K♠J♠7♣8♦.

Calzone checked to Ozawa who announced a bet of 4,000, before Calzone quickly check-raised to 10,000. Ozawa then three-bet the turn to 21,200 with 26,100 behind. Calzone weighed his options before he asked for the rest of Ozawa's chips as the covering stack, and Ozawa snapped it off for 47,300 total.

Caio Ozawa: 10♣9♣ All in
Thomas Calzone: J♥J♦

Ozawa had turned the nut straight against Calzone's flopped set of jacks. However, the script was flipped after the dealer peeled off the 7♦ on the river, giving Calzone a full house, and sending Ozawa to the rail in brutal fashion as his Main Event dream will have to wait another year.

With 15,000 in the pot on the 10♣A♥3♣ flop, David Lin bet 3,500 from the big blind, and Ardit Kurshumi called from middle position.

The A♦ turn checked through before the 7♥ completed the board. Lin bet 5,000, and Kurshumi quickly called.

Lin tabled K♣K♠ for a pair of kings, which was good enough to win the pot as Kurshumi revealed QxQx for a pair of queens.

Michael Banducci opened to 700 from early position before Steve Begleiter from the cutoff. Christopher Marcadet defended his big blind to create a three-handed pot.

It checked to Banducci on the K♠8♦3♥ before he bet 1,200. Begleiter was done with the hand, but Marcadet was still interested as he made the call.

The 5♦ turn resulted in another check from Marcadet. Banducci fired a second barrel for 5,300, and Marcadet called.

Both players checked the 9♥ river.

Banducci showed K♣Q♠ for a pair of kings to win the pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Omri Mechetner had reraised an earlier three-bet of 2,100 to 7,700 in early position. Martin Jacobson called in middle position, and so did Alain Benabou in the cutoff.

Mechetner and Jacobson then checked it to Benabou, who hastily bet 10,000. Both opponents folded, and a relieved Benabou tabled 8♠8♥ as he crossed the six-figure mark.

Over at another table, 2011 Main Event finalist Bob Bounahra sat down with a fresh stack of 60,000.
