Methavee Taveekitvatee jammed for 3,900,000 from under the gun. Qiao Du raised all-in and Dustin Murphy in the big blind folded.
Methavee Taveekitvatee: A♦K♦ 
Qiao Du: J♣J♥
Taveekitvatee didn't win the flip on 8♠Q♥6♣7♥9♥ and took $179,140 for her fifth place finish.
Asi Moshe raised to 600,000 under the gun and then called when the short-stacked Dustin Murphy three-bet jammed for 1.55 million from the small blind.
Dustin Murphy: A♦A♥
Asi Moshe: Q♠8♣
The board ran out a clean 3♠9♠3♣J♥4♥ and Murphy shipped the double.
Dustin Murphy under the gun opened to 2,000,000, half of his stack. Asi Moshe in the cutoff raised all-in before David Miscikowski in the big blind jammed for 7,750,000. Murphy went deep into the tank and folded.
David Miscikowski: K♠K♥
Asi Moshe: 9♥9♦
Miscikowski was on his way to double with kings, but Miscikowski flopped a set on A♠8♣9♠ to take the lead. He even hit a full house with the 3♥3♠ runout and sent Miscikowski to the rail.
Asi Moshe raised to 600,000 from the button only to have Chris Moorman, a Poker Hall of Fame nominee, three-bet jam for right around six million. Moshe made the call, and the hands were turned up.
Chris Moorman: A♥4♠
Asi Moshe: K♠Q♣
Moorman got it in good, but the 10♠J♦6♠ flop made things interesting by giving Moshe an up-and-down straight draw. The J♥ turn was of no consequence, but the K♥ river was as Moshe paired up to send Moorman out the door in seventh place.
It never takes long before at least one player is eliminated on Day 1 of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event.
Yesterday, a player gambled with ace-king and ran into pocket aces to be eliminated moments after the $10,000 buy-in World Championship event began. Today, pocket rockets sent the first elimination home quickly again.
Level: 32
Blinds: 150,000/300,000
Ante: 300,000
The seven remaining players are on a 15-minute break.
Methavee Taveekitvatee under the gun opened to 3,000,000 and she was called by Igor Popyk in the cutoff.
The dealer fanned a flop of J♣A♠3♥ and Taveekitvatee's remaining 50,000 went into the middle.
Methavee Taveekitvatee: K♠10♠
Igor Popyk: A♥Q♣
Popyk flopped top pair while Taveekitvatee had a straight draw. The 6♠ turn opened her a flush draw, and she hit the Q♥ river to complete her straight and double.
Heads-up on a flop of 3♦6♦J♦, Igor Popyk in the big blind called after Asi Moshe on the button made a continuation bet.
On the 6♣ turn, Popyk led out for 700,000. Moshe called and saw Popyk fire 2,500,000 on the 4♣ river.
Moshe counted his stack and raised to 7,900,000. After 60 seconds, Popyk folded.
