Leonel Mendoza opened to 650,000 from under the gun, then Bart Crego three-bet all in for 1,800,000. Vinicius Lima in the cutoff seemed interested, but folded. All the other players folded as well to Mendoza, who called.
Bart Crego: A♣8♣ 
Leonel Mendoza: A♥J♥
The dealer fanned a board of 5♠4♥Q♣3♠9♦ and Crego was eliminated.
David Ivers raised 600,000 under the gun and action folded around the table to Brian Roff, who was in the big blind. Roff elected to defend with a call.
The dealer fanned J♥A♣8♠ on the board, and Roff checked. Ivers fired a bet of 500,000, resulting in Roff immediately calling.
The 6♦ arrived on the turn, and Roff once again checked out of position. Ivers sized up to a 1,500,000 bet, and Roff called.
The dealer placed J♠ on the river to pair the board. Both players checked and Roff tabled A♦10♦ for two pair.
Ivers saw Roff’s hand and mucked his hand face down.
Daniel Negreanu is not running well at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP), and things got even worse for the poker legend on Tuesday in Event #47: $100,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em.
The six-figure buy-in tournament attracted 95 entrants on Day 1, with registration still open entering Wednesday's Day 2 session. At the end of play, Henrik Hecklen bagged the largest stack, while Nick Petrangelo, Jared Bleznick, and Jeremy Ausmus were among the 44 who made it through the session with chips.
Euan Mcnicholas shoved for approximately 2,000,000 from the hijack and he was called by Federico Castaing in the big blind.
Euan Mcnicholas: Q♣10♥
Federico Castaing: A♦9♦
Mcnicholas didn't find enough help on a board of A♥10♠8♠4♦J♠ and he was eliminated.
Action picked up on the flop in a hand between Pedro Neves, in the big blind and Federico Castaing, in the hijack.
On a board of J♦Q♥6♠, Neves was facing a bet of 300,000 and raised all in for 1,025,000 total. Castaing made the call.
Pedro Neves: Q♠3♣
Federico Castaing: 9x9x
The turn landed the J♠ and the river brought the K♦, and Neves doubled his stack.

Action folded around the table to Caleb Bloomer on the button, and Bloomer limped in.
Chad Stewart, who was in the small blind, eyed Bloomer for a few moments, and then moved all in for his remaining 2,450,000.
The big blind folded and action returned to Bloomer, who called to put Stewart at risk.
Chad Stewart: A♦8♠
Caleb Bloomer: K♠Q♣
The dealer fanned A♣A♠2♦ on the board, and Bloomer acknowledged Stewart’s flopped trip aces by patting the table.
The 10♣ appeared on the turn, opening a gutshot straight possibility for Bloomer. The jack, however, didn’t appear on the river. Instead, 2♣ showed up to give Stewart aces full and the full double up.
Leonel Mendoza moved all in from the button for 7,900,000, then John Duthie in the big blind looked at his cards and called, being the player at risk for approximately 2,500,000.
John Duthie: K♣K♥
Leonel Mendoza: A♦J♥
Mendoza flopped two pair on J♣A♣2♥, sending Duthie to the rail after the Q♥9♣ runout.
"Johnny, no!" Martin Kabrhel said when he saw Duthie standing up. "Can someone apologize to the legend in the name of Caesars Entertainment?" he added, while Duthie was leaving the tournament area.
Aliaksei Boika and Pedro Neves got it all in preflop, with Boika at risk.
Aliaksei Boika: K♦K♥
Pedro Neves: 10♥10♣
The board ran out 5♦A♣5♣K♣A♥, and Boika's kings held to earn him the double up.
Alex Abariotes and Robin Guillaumot got it all in preflop, with Abariotes at risk.
Alex Abariotes: A♠10♦
Robin Guillaumot: 9♣9♠
Abariotes found an ace on the 6♦4♣A♦ flop to pull ahead in the hand. The 4♥ turn and 7♣ river secured him the pot, and the double up.
