Allen Kessler has just taken out an opponent in third place to get to heads up on his table.
After the other player moved all in, he insta-called. His opponent turned over 
and found himself up against Kessler's 
.
The board ran out 
and Kessler's pocket pair improved to a set. Will this be his 59th WSOP cash?
Runner-up finisher in 2017, Thomas Boivin has secured his place in the next round. He got it all in with a straight against his opponent and bagged 64,400 to take with him. We will have to wait and see whether the Belgian can go one better than last year and win a coveted WSOP bracelet.
Just before the last break, Anthony Burch-Castro and Nikolai Sears both won their heads-up battles.
Niveau: 9
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 100
The remaining players have been sent for their third 15-minute break while the tournament staff do a chip race and remove the T$25 chips from play.
Taylor Paur and Dylan Linde's table was playing four-handed when Daniel Sprung raised to 1,200 from the button. Paur, sitting in the small blind, three-bet by putting a stack of yellow T$1,000 chips in, which covered both James McKay in the big blind and Sprung. McKay looked at his cards and laughed. He called for the 2,825 he had in front of him. Sprung took a bit longer but then folded.
James McKay: 
Taylor Paur: 
The flop came to give Paur two pair. The turn brought them the 
so McKay suddenly had another lease on life, but the 
on the turn was a brick and McKay was out of the shootout.
Table #74: Joao Vieira is still in on a four-handed table.
Table #77: Sylvain Loosli is heads up but behind with about 15,000 in chips.
Table #78: JJ Liu is still battling it out against three others.
Table #79: Jeff Madsen is heads up against Andrew Thompson with pretty even stacks.
Table #87: Aliaksei Boika, Mike Watson, and Georgios Sotiropoulos are three-handed.
Table #89: Luigi Knoppers is still in but short with around 6,000 with three opponents.
Table #90: Vladimir Burstein just started his heads-up battle against Thomas Dean. Dean has a 2:1 lead.
Wayne Harmon is the victor, following a heads-up battle with Jasper Liu.
The final hand saw a very short-stacked Liu get the last of his chips in versus Harmon and though he was live, he was the slight underdog and looking to hit.
Wayne Harmon: 
Jasper Liu: 
Flop:
It was a great flop for Harmon and Liu only had running outs in order to stay in the tournament.
The turn was the end of it and the 
river changed nothing. Harmon will bring 65,600 through to tomorrow for Day 2.
