We caught up with Roland Israelashvili on a flop of 
. Israelashvili had a bet of what looked to be about 46,000 in front of him which drew a call from Somar Al-Darwich.
Both players checked on the 
turn to see the 
on the river. On the river, Al-Darwich put out a bet of 56,000 which was promptly called by Israelashvili. Al-Darwich sheepishly turned over his 
for a pair of threes that was no good against Israelashvili's 
for a pair of kings. Israelashvili collected the pot and moved tables shortly afterwards.

Thomas Heinrich was one of many patient short stacks who survived the money bubble. With at least $19,106 in prize money locked up, Heinrich shoved his last 54,500 into the pot from under the gun. "I've been itching to do that for a while," he said.
Action folded over to Marty Mathis in the small blind, and he announced a call. The big blind folded, and the cards were turned up.
Heinrich: 
Mathis:
The board ran out 
, and Heinrich joined many others who have been eliminated in the past few minutes. We'll be updating the eliminations as they come, so keep your eyes peeled on the Payouts tab.

Prendiville: 
Hinkle: 
The board was spread 
to see Hinkle spike a river ace to knock Prendiville to the rail.

Kurt Fraser was one of the many super short stacks sweating the cash bubble a short while ago, and in fact in the first hand after they'd made the money, he had but 3,000 left after having to post the big blind.
That hand saw Omar Sider raise from middle position and Fraser call the raise without even looking at his cards, chomping on a banana as he did.
Sider showed 
, then Fraser turned over his hand — 
— and the table laughed.
The flop rolled out 
to pair Fraser, but he was still drawing thin. "Diamonds no good," he said, pointing out how Sider had his flush draw covered.
Then came the turn — the 
! — and everyone laughed as Fraser had the lead. The river was the , and Fraser sat back down with 20,500.
"Banana man with the nine-four offsuit!" said Fraser with a grin.
Soon, though, he'd get his stack in again with against Mark Redding's 
, and when the board ran out , Fraser was eliminated.
"I'm glad you made the money," said Redding to Fraser when shaking his hand. "Me, too!" said Fraser, who then jokingly left the banana peel with Redding for good luck.

Among the 648 players cashing in this year's Main Event is two-time Main Event winner, Poker Hall of Famer, and legend of the game Doyle "Tex Dolly" Brunson.
Brunson played in the very first World Series of Poker in 1970, and in nearly every one since. Besides winning the Main Event twice, he's now cashed in the Main Event in each decade it has been staged — the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and now the 2010s.
Here are Brunson's Main Event cashes over the years:
| Year | Finish | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1976 | 1st | $220,000 |
| 1977 | 1st | $340,000 |
| 1980 | 2nd | $146,000 |
| 1982 | 4th | $52,000 |
| 1983 | 3rd | $108,000 |
| 1997 | 16th | $25,440 |
| 2004 | 53rd | $45,000 |

On the first hand after the bubble burst, defending Main Event champion Greg Merson raised to 12,000, and Robert Kairnes was the only caller. The flop came 
, and Merson continued for 11,000. Kairnes called, bringing the 
on the turn. Merson checked this time, and Kairnes bet 27,000. Merson thought for a few moments, then folded.
This is the second consecutive year Merson has cashed in the Main Event, and with 475,000 in chips shortly after the money bubble, he’s poised to make another deep run.

The table folded around to Thomas Warnicke in the hijack, who opened to 12,500. The action then fell on Alan Jehamy on the small blind. Jehamy missed the first 45 minutes or so of play today, but has returned at last to play his short stack.
Seeing Warnicke's raise, Jehamy moved all in for his last 31,000 in chips. The big blind got out of the way, and the decision was back on Warnicke.
Warnicke then tanked for over a minute, as he contemplated the call. He finally opted to fold, as Jehamy increased his small stack.
