The completed the board on the river, and Merson led out for 13,000. His opponent folded, and the defending Main Event champion pulled in the pot. He now sits with 286,000 in chips. Merson has been near the 300,000 chip mark for much of the past two levels.
The flop read with about 10,000 in the middle when we arrived to see Xuan Liu and another opponent heads up. Liu bet out 8,000, and her opponent made the call. The turn brought the , and Liu didn't take long to move all in, a bet effectively worth the 39,000 her opponent had.
Her opponent went deep into the tank, sitting back at first then leaving forward and smiling. Liu stayed fairly motionless throughout the tank, then looked off into the distance to survey the room. Eventually, after about three or four minutes of tanking, her opponent stacked his chips together , and slid them forward for the call.
Liu:
Opponent:
Liu had a world of outs, as an ace, king, or club would get it done. Unfortunately for her, the on the river was a brick, and Liu shipped a third of her chips over to her opponent.
While we didn't catch any huge hands from Lacay, we do know that he's remaining aggressive at his table. Over the course of three hands we saw him open the action on two of them with a raise to 2,500. Both times the entire table folded. On the second time, he showed his hand after a card had been semi-exposed (The card slightly tipped while it was on it's way to the muck and several players saw the ).
"The seven of clubs?" Lacay asked, showing his drawing a laugh from some of the members at his table.
Melanie Weisner bet 6,500 on a flop after three opponents had checked to her. The small blind check-raised to 20,000, and Weisner made the call. The turn brought a , and Weisner's opponent bet 30,000. Weisner tried to use her verbal skills to get the player to reveal something about his hand. After about a three-minute tank, she folded, saying she laid down a "really strong hand."
After a series of preflop raises, Patrick Renkers six-bet shoved for 61,600. His opponent snap-called.
Renkers:
Opponent:
Renkers was in bad shape, but the flop fell , giving him a pair of aces. The turn and river bricked , respectively, and Renkers doubled to 127,000 chips.
A player sitting under the gun raised to 2,600 and got a caller in Phil Galfond sitting a couple of seats over. Brandon Meyers then three-bet to 10,000, and when it folded back around the original raiser let his hand go.
Galfond engaged Meyers in some small talk, then after about a half-minute called the reraise. He then checked dark, watching Meyers as the dealer spread the flop. Meyers checked relatively quickly behind, causing Galfond to turn his head to see the land on fourth street.
Galfond checked once more, and Meyers made another bet of 10,000 which Galfond called. The river was the , and once more Galfond was calling and Meyers betting — 35,000 this time.
Galfond considered for about 20 seconds and called, and when Meyers tabled Galfond mucked.

A player raised to 2,700 and Kenny Tran answered with a reraise to 4,200. His opponent called and they were heads up to the flop. The player check-called Tran's bet of 10,000 on a flop.
Tran's opponent led for 15,500 on the turn and Tran raised to 50,500.
