After a player opened for a raise, Mike Leah three-bet jammed for 5,150 from middle position. George Sotiropoulos then called from the big blind and the original raiser folded.
Sotiropoulos:
Leah: 
The 
flop gave both players a pair of aces, but of course Sotiropoulos' kicker had him out in front. That changed though as Leah paired his kicker on the 
turn. The 
river failed to help Sotiropoulos and he sent some chips over to Leah.

Tobias Reinkemeier was already enjoying a great start on Day 1a of the Main Event and that just got even better.
Ashley Mason raised to 700 from under the gun, and the German three-bet to 1,800. Mason pondered about his next decision for a while, and then four-bet shoved for what looked like 11,000.
Reinkemeier snap-called and tabled the . Mason was in bad shape with the , and the 
board changed nothing to send him to the rail in the last hand before the dinner break.

As the other tables emptied, the final hand on Table 29 lasted 10 minutes into the dinner break. Asa Smith had raised, and there were two callers before Michael Addamo squeezed out of the big blind. Smith then four-bet to 5,900, and only Addamo called.
After the 
flop, Addamo check-called a bet of an unknown amount, and did the same on the 
turn for 11,500. The fell on the river, and Addamo checked. Smith asked Addamo for his stack size before moving all in for 38,675. Smith stared at the table just in front of him while Addamo was in the think tank for well over five minutes.
Eventually, Addamo threw a yellow T5,000 chip to the middle of the table and made the call for the vast majority of his own stack. Addamo would only muck his cards, though, as Smith showed the for top two pair. Addamo quickly left the tournament area, and Smith stacked the chips with shaky hands before also heading into the break.
