Brian Rast raised to 6,000 from under the gun and only Mack Khan called from the big blind.
Both players checked the 
flop to the 
turn. Khan bet 7,000 and Rast called.
The river brought the 
and Khan sized up to 22,000. Rast called after some thought.
Khan rolled over 
for a rivered two pair, and the five-time WSOP bracelet winner flashed 
a pair of aces as he folded.
Picking up the action after the flop, Seth Davies in early position was involved in a hand with the small and big blinds. With the board reading 
both blinds checked and Davies led out for 5,000. Neither of his opponents were going anywhere just yet and called.
All three players checked through the turn to the 
river where the small blind and big blind checked once again. Davies paused for a moment before checking back and turning over 
, sufficient to scoop the pot. Davies, sitting on 88,000, is still a relative short stack but will be looking to spin that up as the day progresses.
The heads-up action was picked up with 152,500 already in the pot and a board reading 
on the table.
The button led out for 85,000, around half his remaining chips. Mark Pett, in the big blind, went into the tank briefly, before eventually moving all in with the effective stack of 126,500.
"Yeah. You caught me," his opponent responded, seeming to know he was beat, but tossing in the call anyway. "Nice call."
Mark Pett: 
Opponent: 
Pett was ahead, but any ace, jack or heart on the river would end his tournament dreams. He evaded his opponent's outs successfully, as the 
river was a brick. He scooped the pot to move to nearly double the size of the average stack.
Kenny Deffrasnes was battling with Tamon Nakamura on the river. The board read 
.
Deffrasnes bet 30,000, nearly the size of the pot on the final street. Nakamura went back and forth. He had calling chips in hand, and he nearly put them in multiple times. Ultimately, he did late it down and shipped the pot to Deffrasnes.
Quentin Roussey called in the big blind a raise from Krasimir Yankov and the duo checked on the flop 
.
The turn went also check-check and Rousey sent 31,500 in the middle when the landed on the river. Yankov tanked a minute and eventually folded.
The board read 
on the river and action was picked up at the very end and George Holmes was in the tank vs an all in shove from Vyacheslav Stoyanov.
Holmes tossed in the call. Stoyanov tabled the 
which bested the 
that Holmes turned over.
Table 429 was suddenly short-handed as three players had been eliminated. Anthony Marini stacked the chips and his had scored a double knockout while Christopher Puetz and Akin Tuna were still talking about it in German. The open seats were then filled shortly after with Ashish Gupta among those arriving.
A big pot was brewing on the river between Tamon Nakamura and Craig McCorkell.
Nakamura was in the big blind looking at a board of 
. WIth about 70,000 in the pot, Nakamura led for 50,000.
McCorkell responded to that lead by moving all his chips in the middle. He had Nakamura covered, so the bet was for Nakamura's remaining 107,000.
After quite a bit of thought, Nakamura frustratingly folded, showing the 
face up.
