Alex Foxen opened to 240,000 from under the gun before Jovan Kenjic shipped it for 815,000 from the big blind. Foxen called to put Kenjic at risk.
Jovan Kenjic: K♠J♠
Alex Foxen: A♦6♣
The flop gave Kenjic a bunch of outs when it came 5♠Q♦10♠ to give him a flush draw and an open-ended straight draw.
The 6♥ turn paired up Foxen, but it was not enough when the J♦ river hit to award Kenjic the pot.
Jamie Dwan opened to 850,000 under the gun, leaving himself little behind. Action folded to Martin Zamani on the button, who put in piles of 100,000 chips, covering all players left to act. It folded to Dwan, who called all in.
Jamie Dwan: A♠K♦
Martin Zamani: K♣10♥
"This is a bit wide," Zamani remarked as the cards went onto their backs.
The showdown would work out in his favour as the 2♥10♠Q♣ flop catapulted him into the lead. It went from bad to worse for Dwan on the 10♣ turn, with aces no longer working for him.
However, it wasn’t his time to go just yet, as the J♠ river improved him to Broadway much to the delight of his rail.
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya open-jammed for his remaining 555,000 from middle position and was called by Alex Foxen in the big blind.
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: A♣3♠
Alex Foxen: A♦6♦
Skhulukhiya remained at risk as the dealer fanned the J♣J♥6♥ flop. Foxen hit a pair and Skhulukhiya also improved on the 3♥ turn but it wasn't enough to save him as the 6♣ completed the board.
One question always gets asked in the build-up to the World Series of Poker (WSOP): who are the best players still chasing their first bracelet? It's something PokerNews looks at every year.
But here's another angle worth exploring. Which players have actually won the most money at the WSOP without ever getting their hands on one of poker's most coveted prizes?
Some players have racked up millions in WSOP earnings, building their totals on one monster score, while others have chipped away year after year grinding the series.
Level: 28
Blinds: 60,000/120,000
Ante: 120,000
The remaining 14 players are off to a 15 minute break. Play will return at 11:35 p.m. local time
Narcis Nedelcu opened to 400,000, leaving only 200,000 behind. Yixi Tang went allbin from the small blind and was called by Nedelcu who put himself at risk.
Narcis Nedelcu: K♣8♣
Yixi Tang: A♣2♣
The flop kept Tang in the lead when it came J♦J♠Q♠.
Tang held the lead on the 7♥ turn and Nedelcu would be eliminated after the 4♣ river in 15th place.
Nedelcu earned $27,471 for his finish.
Sergio Martinez Gonzalez moved all in from the cutoff for around 1,100,000 and Ludovic Uzan called. Martinez had Uzan's remaining 875,000 stack covered.
Ludovic Uzan: A♠J♥
Sergio Martinez Gonzalez: A♣Q♥
Uzan was hunting for a jack but missed on the 2♥5♥5♦ flop. There was a chance of a chop after the 3♣ turn, but Uzan's tournament life came to an end as the 8♠ river came.
