Alejandro Lococo raised to 10,000 on the button and Damian Salas made the call in the big blind.
Heads up, they saw a flop of 6♥A♦5♦ and when checked to, Lococo placed a bet of 9,000 and Salas quickly released his hand.
In other news, after Alex Foxen drew the same table as his wife, Kristen Foxen, the couple likely only sat together but one orbit before Kristen was moved to a new table, as late entrants continue to arrive.
Recent $400 Colossus Winner, Moshe Refaelowitz, raised to 8,000 under the gun and was only called by last years Main Event winner, Espen Jørstad, in the big blind.
The dealer fanned out the 8♠6♦3♣ and both players checked, turning the 2♥.
Jørstad checked again and Refaelowitz threw out a bet of 19,000 when the dealer informed him his time was almost up. Jørstad made the call.
The river peeled the 9♠ and both players checked, with Jørstad announcing he had a pair of eights, as he turned over 10♦8♦, prompting Refaelowitz to throw his hand in the muck.

Bryn Kenney was getting seated at this table just as this hand came to a conclusion.
When Alex Foxen went to sit at Table 113, Ren Lin who was seated on his left said, "Nice! Perfect table draw...".
Kristen Foxen, his wife and fellow crusher, is currently seated two seats to his right. This isn't the first time that it's happened this year and typically it seems they make a point not to converse much when competing against each other.

The current table seating will likely be very much in flux until late registration is over as they're opening tables upon the arrival of new entrants.
Kristen Foxen limped her small blind and Bill Klein checked his option. The flop rolled A♥K♣J♦ and both players tapped the table, peeling the 9♥. Foxen then tossed out a red chip for a 5,000 and Klein quickly folded.
Just moments before this hand, Klein saw Chris Brewer enter the field and he said, "Him, I want to play with that guy. He only won two bracelets so far this summer."
All in jest, or maybe not, Brewer asked Klein to keep his chips fresh for him.
Plenty of competitors have joined the ranks and a third table has been opened up.
While players in the Main Event of the World Series of Poker are fighting on Day 6 to be in the top 100, some of the best players who have been eliminated will gather in Paris and Horseshoe Las Vegas to play Event #84: $50,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em.
