In a limped battle of the blinds, Clement Richez with the 6♦2♦ checked the A♠7♣6♥ flop and Jared Ward checked back with the A♥7♠. Richez checked the 5♦ turn and called a bet worth 18,000 to then check the Q♠ on the river.
Ward now bet 55,000 and Richez tanked before paying it off, taking yet another hit.
Matthias Auer opened and faced a three-bet worth 47,000 from Raymond Ezzie in the cutoff. Action came back to Auer, who made the call.
The flop came K♣5♥6♣ and Auer quickly check-folded after Ozzie continued for 58,000.
With almost 600,000 in the middle, the board read A♥8♦5♥10♠7♠. Herik Gwinner had already checked and was faced with a bet of 335,000 from Kyriakos Papadopoulos.
Gwinner went in the tank for about four minutes before the floor was called for a clock. About 10 seconds of his allotted 30 seconds went by before he flicked in one chip to call off his stack of 332,000.
Papadopoulos tabled K♥9♥ and Gwinner jumped with joy as he showed Q♠Q♦ to drag the pot and remain in the 2023 World Series of Poker Main Event.
Victor Ramdin raised to 16,000 and got called by Pedro Marques in the big blind. On the Q♠2♥7♠ flop, Marques check-called Ramdin's continuation bet for 11,000.
Both checked the 10♦ turn and 9♥ river. Marques tabled 5♠2♠ for a pair of deuces, which was enough to make Ramdin muck his cards.
The live stream action head over to the left side feature and showed a completed board of K♠K♦4♣Q♣9♥.
Clement Richez with the 4♠4♦ bet 200,000 out of the big blind. Felipe Ketzer then raised to 512,000 with the K♥Q♠ for a superior full house, leaving himself 129,000 behind.
That sent Richez deep into the tank and he got away from it for Ketzer to jump above a million in chips.
Georgi Sandev opened the action to 17,000 from early position and only the big blind made the call.
The flop came J♣4♦3♦ and the big blind checked to Sandev, who continued for 9,000. His opponent called. On the 3♣ turn the big blind checked a second time and Sandev sized up to 52,000. His opponent quickly let their cards go and the pot was shipped to Sandev.
Maher Al Mouselly was all-in before the flop with the J♣J♥ up against the A♣9♣ of Nicholas Rigby.
The board ran out A♦Q♠3♠8♠Q♣ to pair Rigby's ace as he jumped well above two million in chips.
Alex Foxen was in the small blind and had gotten involved in a battle against big blind James Kizer. The board read 8♠4♥9♣7♠ and both players checked.
The 2♥ river then fell and Foxen bet 90,000 into a pot of around 150,000. Kizer quickly made the call and Foxen could only show ace-high with A♣10♣. Kizer, on the other hand, had a pair with K♠7♥ and took down the pot.
Lee Chau opened to 16,000 from early position and received calls from Heather Alcorn on the button and a player in the big blind.
The flop came 7♦6♣3♥. The big blind led out for 20,000 and received calls from both Chau and Alcorn.
The big blind opted to check on the 8♣ turn. Chau moved all in for his last 102,000 and Alcorn raised all in with a covering stack. The big blind got out of the way leaving Alcorn and Chau heads up going into the river.
Lee Chau: K♠5♦
Heather Alcorn: 9♣8♥
Chau was drawing thin on the turn with only a four, nine or king as possible outs against Alcorn's top pair and straight draw. He got exactly what he needed on the 4♥ river, giving him an eight-high straight to secure a full double up, leaving Alcorn with just under 30 big blinds.
Jules Dickerson opened to 18,000 with the K♦10♦ in the cutoff and Nicholas Rigby defended out of the big blind with Q♠7♠. Both had a piece of the K♣Q♥J♣ flop and Rigby bet 27,000, Dickerson called.
Rigby instantly bet 100,000 on the 8♠ turn when the card had barely appeared, as Dickerson stuck around. The 7♦ river saw Rigby grab into his stack of T-25,000 chips and bet a random 350,000.
Dickerson got away from his top pair while Rigby leaped to nearly two million in chips.
