Action was four ways to the flop, including 888poker Ambassador Ian Simpson returning for a third straight Main Event flight.
The A♥10♣8♦ was checked around the table, with Simpson folding to a bet of 1,500 on the 9♥ turn. Another round of checks followed the 4♠ river, where Jesus Castro was first to show in the small blind.
Castro revealed 5♥4♥ for a rivered pair of fours. Both opponents mucked, as Castro smiled while raking in the chips.

After chips already hit the middle of the table to his right, Angel Martin slid out a preflop raise to 5,700. Only one opponent called to see the 4♥4♣5♦ flop.
Martin fired 5,500 and was check-called to the 9♥ turn, where both players checked. Action checked to Martin again after the 7♦ river and he slid out a big bet of 21,500.
That was enough to produce a fold to his left, as Martin raked in a sizeable early pot.

Action was reported to PokerNews after a big pot between Angel Martin and 888poker qualifier Asif Warris.
Martin raised from early position and was three-bet by Warris in the big blind. Martin then four-bet and Warris called to see the Q♥A♦7♦ flop.
Warris led out and called when Martin moved all in.
Angel Martin: A♠A♥
Asif Warris: 7♠7♣
Both players flopped a set, with Martin's aces firmly in front. The Q♠ turn and 3♣ river changed nothing, doubling up Martin while leaving Warris short.
