Timothy Little raised to 800 from middle position and Michael Marder called in the small blind.
The flop rolled out 10♥8♣6♥ and Marder check-called a bet from Little to the tune of 1,100.
Action checked down on the 8♠Q♦ runout and Marder turned over A♠10♠ for tens up with an ace, which was good for the pot.
The board was showing 8♠2♣7♥9♥. Ron West had checked from the small blind to Artur Palaj in big blind. Palaj bet 5,000 and West made the call.
West checked again on the 3♥ river and faced a bet of 7,000 from Palaj. After some tanking, West folded his hand and Palaj pulled in the pot.
Four-way in a limped pot on 8♠4♠6♠, Florence Mazet in the big blind led out for 500 and she was called by the under-the-gun player and Michael Troutt in the cutoff, while the small blind check-folded.
All three players checked the J♣ turn, and Mazet checked again the 2♠ river. The under-the-gun player took this opportunity to bet 600 with 6♣5♣ for a pair. Troutt in the hijack called with A♦7♠ for a flush. And as Mazet folded, he scooped the pot.
Toby Lewis opened to 800 from the cutoff and received a call from a player in the big blind.
The big blind checked following the 3♣Q♠4♦ flop before folding to a continuation from Lewis to send a modest pot over to his opponent. Lewis has so far been holding steady in his quest to make back-to-back main event final tables after finishing in seventh place last year.

Well, I tried my hand at cashing for the first time at the WSOP, doubled up with AA, and retired with fond memories.
Dan Shak raised to 800 from early position and Erick Lindgren called in middle position while the player in the big blind defended.
Action checked to Lindgren on the Q♦9♦8♦ flop where he bet 1,000 and only Shak called.
Both players checked the 6♣ turn to the 3♠ river where Shak took over the betting lead, throwing in 2,000. Lindgren sighed and released his hand into the muck, ceding the pot to Shak.
Three players limped in before the flop as action went on the big blind who raised to 2,500. Only Mark Richens called in early position.
The big blind led out for 2,000 on the 10♦K♠9♥ flop and Richens raised to 5,000. His opponent called and both players checked the 10♣ turn.
The river was the 4♥ and the big blind checked again. Richens then bet 25,000 and his opponent tanked for a moment before folding.
"Finally. Holy shit," Richens said as he showed A♠Q♦ for ace-high, raising his arms in the air before taking in the pot.
