Action picked up on the turn in a hand between Ari Engel in the hijack, and both players in the blinds.
With 2,000 in the pot and the board reading J♦9♠2♥2♠, Engel bet 900, resulting in two folds to take it down.
In a blind versus blind battle the turn read J♦9♦6♥3♥ and both Igor Zektser and the big blind put 6,000 across the line.
The K♣ fell on the river and Zektser checked to his opponent who dropped 3,500 across the line. Zektser wasted no time making the call as his opponent rolled K♥4♥ for a pair of kings. Zektser tabled A♠A♦ to drag the pot.
The 2022 Main Event champion Espen Jorstad is back to try and capture his second title and third WSOP bracelet.
A player in the cutoff opened to 600 and received calls from Jorstad in the small blind as well as a player in the big blind.
Jorstad led out for 600 following the 10♦5♦Q♣ flop and was met by two quick folds to pick up a small pot early in the day.
In the very early goings of Day 1d, the board read A♦J♥3♣K♦ where William Jia called a bet of 2,000 from his opponent.
The river brought a 10♣ and again the opponent fired 4,500, and Jia raised to 10,000. Another bet of 20,500 came in from the opponent, and Jia just called.
As expected, the opponent flipped over Q♣10♦ and Jia held K♥Q♦ which meant they both had the nuts, and chopped the pot.
Emilio Ulisse raised to 600 and Keith Bagley called from the big blind.
The two players saw a flop of A♦6♥7♥. Bagley checked-called a bet of 1,100 from Ulisse.
The turn came the 8♠ and Bagley check-called a bet of 2,000 from Ulisse.
Both players checked the J♣ river and Bagley took down the pot with A♥10♠ for a pair of aces.
