In a three-way, three-bet pot to the 4♥8♣2♦ flop, Phillip Lee and Alexander Rauch checked from middle position. Vincent Masino then bet 8,000 in the cutoff, which Lee raised to 18,000.
Two folds followed, and Lee allowed his opponent to pick one of his cards to show.
When the A♠ was tabled, Lee claimed the other card was another ace.
With 14,500 in the pot, Jesse Sylvia checked from the hijack over to Antonio Buonanno on the button on a 4♥J♣2♠ flop. Buonanno added 4,500 to the pot, but promptly had a decision to make, as Sylvia check-raised to 12,500. Buonanno took his time before opting to find a better spot, and returned his cards to the dealer.
David Damone raised to 2,000 from the hijack, and Bharath Vellanki, sitting on his left, three-bet to 7,000. Jerome Theriault four-bet jammed from the big blind for about 60,000. Only Vellanki called, putting himself at risk with around 31,000 behind.
Bharath Vellanki: 8♠8♥ 
Jerome Theriault: A♥K♠
It was a flip, and Vellanki had his phone out ready to film what could have been his final hand in this year's Main Event.
It wasn't his time to go just yet, though, as the 7♥5♥2♦5♠4♠ runout kept Vellanki's pair of eights in front all the way, earning him a double through Theriault.
Jim Wyatt opened to 2,000 from under the gun and called a three-bet to 7,000 by Darren Rabinowitz in the very next seat. On a flop of 6♣5♠5♥, Wyatt led for 5,000 and Rabinowitz came along to the K♥ turn. Wyatt checked this time, Rabinowitz bet 10,000 and that won the pot right there.
At Table 575, Seat 3 holds a stack of 221,000, but its owner, Amit Agarwal, has decided to leave the tournament.
According to his X account, Agarwal started the day with 114,000 and built his stack to around 240,000 within the first hour of play. Satisfied with his progress, he headed to another casino and put $40 into a Limit Hold’em cash game.
“Apparently he did the same thing on Day 1,” one of his tablemates said. “We should send him a message to let him know the table misses him,” another player joked.
Heads-up on a board of Q♠10♠10♥10♦ with a large pot already in the middle, Piotr Krupa checked from the small blind and called a 15,000 bet from Yuri Murakami, who was in early position.
Krupa then led out for 20,000 on the J♠ river and Murakami didn't take long to look him up. Krupa tabled A♥A♣ and Murakami sent her cards into the muck.
John Andrews opened to 2,500 from under the gun. The open was called by three players, including Fabian Rolli from the cutoff, Matthew Boucher on the button, and Corey Wick in the big blind.
The 4♦5♣9♦ and the 3♦ turn saw no bets as the round of checks brought the J♠ river.
Rolli bet 6,600 on the river and was called only by Wick.
Rolli showed he flopped two pair with 5♥4♥ as Wick mucked his hand to award the pot to Rolli.
Kevin Do raised to 2,000 from the hijack, and Byron Kaverman three-bet to 6,500 from the button. Do called.
Do check-called a bet of 5,000 from Kaverman on the 3♦4♣9♣ flop.
After both players checked the Q♥ turn, Do led out for 12,000 on the 7♠ river, and Kaverman instantly called.
Do tabled 5♥5♠ for a pair of fives, but it was no good against Kaverman's K♦K♣ for an overpair.
Kamil Dobosz moved all in for 25,500 from the small blind and Eric Yanovsky put him at risk in middle position.
Kamil Dobosz: A♥Q♦
Eric Yanovsky: A♣K♦
Dobosza found himself dominated going to the flop, which came Q♣Q♠4♣ to give him trips. The turn was the 10♦, while the 9♣ completed the board on the river and earned Dobosz the double up.
