Nicolas Santos was all in for about 66,000 and at risk against Ermo Kosk.
Nicolas Santos: A?10?
Ermo Kosk: A?K?
The J?3?3? flop brought chop possibilities, but the K? turn left Santos drawing to Broadway, and the 5? river sent him to the rail.

Action folded to Stephen Kehoe who raised to 34,000, leaving himself only 6,000 behind. Chris Brewer jammed for a little over 200,000 and when action folded back to Kehoe, he called off to set up a runout and put himself at risk.
Stephen Kehoe: K?5?
Chris Brewer: Q?Q?
The board ran out 4?6?9?3?A?, keeping Brewer firmly in the lead through five cards and sending Kehoe to the exit just shy of the money.

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise $5,300 Main Event kicked off on Saturday at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas, and officials took the opportunity to reveal to players what they��ll receive it they��re fortunate enough to finish as the last player standing.
In addition to a seven-figure payday, the winner will receive a new WSOP Paradise Main Event bracelet that is hand-crafted by Jostens and features an island spin on the classic WSOP Main Event bracelet. Custom made from 10-karat yellow gold, just like the summer��s trophy, the WSOP Paradise Main Event bracelet weighs nearly 95 grams and is hand-set with 494 genuine blue topaz round stones.
��The WSOP Main Event bracelet is considered the richest trophy in sports, and our first Main Event bracelet for WSOP Paradise puts a fun spin on the trophy��s legacy,�� said WSOP Vice President Gregory Chochon. ��This is the World Series of Poker, we��re global and need a proper World Championship trophy to represent the newest home we��ve added to the series. Jostens delivered on that vision once again, and we can��t wait to see who takes home the first-ever WSOP Paradise Main Event bracelet.��

Ante: 25,000
John Armbrust raised to 60,000 under the gun and Dan Cates called in the big blind.
The dealer spread the K?6?5? flop and Cates checked. Armbrust bet enough to cover, and Cates called all in for 46,000.
Dan Cates: A?Q?
John Armbrust: J?J?
The 10? turn gave "Jungleman" a couple more outs, but the 2? river bricked out, and Cates was eliminated just short of the money.

In a hand where Charles Gomez was all-in for his final 13,000 from the big blind, action folded around to Barry Hutter who tossed in the additional 3,000 without looking at his cards to set up a runout on the stone bubble with Gomez at risk.
Charles Gomez: 9?4?
Barry Hutter: 8?3?
For being forced all-in blind, Gomez turned up a nine-high holding that was actually ahead going to the flop, but when it came 3?3?Q?, Hutter essentially had flopped Gomez dead.
The K? on the turn meant Gomez was a lock to finish on the stone bubble and when the K? river card made it official, Gomez would exit the tournament one spot off the money as the other 47 remaining players began racking their chips to join the start of the Day 2 session.
