The action just folded to Kristen Bicknell in the small blind, and she raised to 1,500 on KC Wong's big blind. Wong tanked for a bit before making it 4,800.
The action was now back on the WSOP Ladies Event champion, who paused for quite some time before moving all in for 16,000 chips.
Wong snap-called, and Bicknell looked worried before seeing it wasn't all that bad.
Bicknell: 
Wong: 
"Red?" Bicknell asked, looking to avoid losing this hand.
The flop brought out 
and it left Bicknell drawing to a straight flush on the board to stay alive and chop the pot. The turn was the 
, and the river the 
, and Bicknell busted out.

Vladimir Troyanovskiy just raised to 1,100 and a player in position three-bet to 2,700, after which Laurence Hall called from the small blind. Josep Maria Galindo, one of the tournament chip leaders, four-bet to and Troyanovskiy folded right away.
The three-bettor moved all in almost immediately for right around 32,000 and Hall said, "I can't remember whether or not I had aces," before looking back down at his cards.
Hall, easily the most energetic player at the table, laughed and quickly folded, and Galindo took even less time to make the call.
Galindo:
Opponent: 
The board ran out

"The prettiest card in the deck!" Hall pointed at the , and referred to the tattoo on his forearm. Galindo quietly stacked up the chips and he now sits on around 133,000.

The biggest star of poker in Australia, and one of the biggest in the world, Joe Hachem, is taking it easy today. Hachem played the Hall of Fame tournament earlier today, before taking a little break and sitting down in the Main Event.
Just now, we caught Hachem making a raise to 1,000 and he got three-bet by the player in the big blind to 2,800. Hachem called, but folded when his opponent bet 4,200 on the 
flop.
On the next hand Hachem raised again, making it 1,000, and the player on his left called. The flop came down 
and after a bet of 1,500 he got his opponent to swiftly fold.
Hachem's day has been fairly quiet so far, but he knows as well as anyone that's it's a marathon and not a sprint.
