The dealer ran out a board to see Matusow fade his opponent's flush draw, and see the pot chopped up.
On the heads-up turn of , Michal Danka checked out of the small blind and Frank Stepuchin in the cutoff bet 3,000. Danka check-raised to 9,500 and was called before immediately announcing all in as soon as the fell on the river. Stepuchin gave it some thought and folded.
Kevin Saul was all in while Eric Rappaport and Ivan Deyra played out a hand. The board read and Deyra had a bet of 1,400 in front of him. Rappaport raised to 10,000 and Deyra folded.
"You're my hero if you somehow have eight-high," said Saul.

"Next year I guess. Play well guys," Saul said to the table as he left.
Alex Conklin hopped in the Main Event on Day 1B on Sunday, which was also his 21st birthday. He bagged a healthy 83,500 chips and is seated in Amazon Tan for a shot at being the youngest player in the field, and in history, to win the Main Event!
In 2008, Peter Eastgate was the youngest champion to ever win the Main Event, but Joe Cada took over that title after he won the very next year in 2009. Eastgate was 22 years, 10 months, and 28 days old, and Cada was 21 years, 11 months, and 22 days old.
Should Conklin win the Main Event this year, he will take over that record and it will likely be very hard to beat.
Day 2 of the @WSOP #MainEvent! Bagged 83.5k chips on my 21st birthday. @BreakoutGaming https://t.co/JKnaJq3uM6
Uri Reichenstein raised to 1,300 from early position and was called by the cutoff, the button, and the big blind. The flop came and the big blind checked to Reichenstein who bet 2,800. The cutoff and button both called while the big blind folded.
The turn was the and everyone checked through to the on the river. Reichenstein led out for 11,700 and the cutoff instantly called. The button folded and both players showed their cards. Reichenstein tabled for a straight while his opponent tabled for two pair.
Catching the action with the board reading and roughly 24,900 in the middle, Daniel Shea checked over to Ardit Kurshumi.
Kurshumi bet out 7,300, and when the action returned to Shea, he slid out a stack of orange 5,000-denomination chips amounting to a bet of roughly 75,000; enough to put Kurshumi all in.
Kurshumi went deep into the tank for several minutes before eventually calling off his remaining 22,500 and tabling for two pair.
Shea however would reveal his for a full house, and Kurshumi headed to the exit as Shea motored his stack to roughly 147,000 in chips.
Jordan Young came into the day as one of the shorter stacks but was hoping for different fortunes on Day 2. Young was under-the-gun and moved all-in for his remaining 9,000 chips and was called by an opponent in middle position.

The board ran out and Young safely doubled up to over 30 big blinds now.
