, Leo Fernandez checked from the big blind and Bjorn Li bet 20,000 from under the gun. Fernandez thought awhile, counted out his stack and called. Li simply mucked.

One player said he did but Li shook his head.
"He said no," Fernandez said, following Li into the muck.
Kyriakos Papadopoulos had well over 100,000 earlier but is on life support now. In one recent pot, he swept up some much-needed chips by jamming for 10,000 in the small blind over a hijack limp and a button raise to 2,300. Those players gave it up and the WPT500 champion remains alive in the Main Event.
The player in the cutoff opened with a raise and both Adrian Mateos on the button and the player in the big blind called. On the 
flop both players checked to Mateos, and he bet 3,000. The big blind called and the cutoff raised to 8,000. Mateos made the call and the big blind folded.

turn Mateos saw his 8,000 bet check-called, and when the river came the 
river hit both players checked.
Adrian Mateos: 
Opponent: 
Mateos took the pot with two pair and continued his comeback as he is now sat with 90,000.
Daniel Maor opened in the middle position and Jiri Horak defended his big blind. They both checked the 
flop and Horak led out 1,700 on the 
turn. Maor called to see the 
river where Horak blasted another 5,200. Maor quickly called and Horak turned up 
for a busted open-ender. Maor tabled 
and increased his solid chip-stack.

The turn was the 
and both players checked to see the 
on the river. There, Garmus put out a bet of 3,700 and without hesitation, Obst called. Garmus showed down his 
for trips and that would earn him the pot as Obst mucked.
The board read 
with just under 20,000 in the middle. Liv Boeree checked from middle position and Greg Candido tossed in a bet of 10,000 directly to her left. Boeree check-raised all in to put Candido to the test for his remaining 17,500 chips.
He thought for a good minute before finally making the call. Boeree tabled 
for two pair which was ahead of Candido's 
. The river was the 
and Boeree held on to eliminate Candido and move over the 100,000 chip mark.
Mike Leah has been sitting to Boeree's right since the start of the day and has slowly chipped up himself to over 50,000.
A player in early position opened to 1,800 and another play three-bet to 5,500. When it folded around to Kahle Burns in the cutoff he pushed all in for about 40,000 and Ital Levy did the same on the button but for 12,500.
The other players folded and Burns was left heads-up with Levy and the cards went on their backs.
Kahle Burns: 
Ital Levy: 
The board ran out 
and Burns chipped up a bit while sending Levy to the rail.

. Volpe put out a bet of 5,500 and his one opponent in the small blind called.
The river was the and the small blind checked again. Volpe thought for a bit then put out a bet of 11,300. His opponent thought it over for a little bit but eventually decided to call. Volpe showed down his 
and that would be good enough to earn him the pot, pushing him back over 100,000 chips.
On the three-way flop of , action had checked to Daniel Laidlaw in the cutoff and he bet 3,200. Scott Hill in the small blind check-raised to 10,500 and that forced out the third player in the hand, Laidlaw called. On the turn, Hill bet 8,500 and Laidlaw called before the 
river completed the board.
Hill moved all in for 17,000 and Laidlaw called instantly to get shown 
for a full house. The Aussie mucked for a flush.
