With the big blind now costing a starting stack in the Main Event, there has been a steady stream of eliminations, bringing the field down to 37 players on five tables.
Every pot has been hard fought this afternoon, and despite the mounting pressure there is some fearless poker on display. A good example of which just happened in a pot between Jason Duval and Tommy Nguyen as Duval made an ace-high hero call when facing a river bet of 5.7M on a 
board. Duval had check-raised the flop, and both players checked the turn before Duval checked to Nguyen on the river and promptly called his big bet. Duval’s 
was enough to beat Nguyen’s 
.
