With a short delay, cards are in the air on Day 1b of the Main Event.
Louis Michaud opened to 300 from under the gun, but Gerard Mata to his left three-bet to 1,100. All the other players folded to Michaud, who called.
The dealer fanned a flop of K♠K♥2♠ which was checked by both players. Then on the turn 8♣, Michaud bet 900. Mata quickly called.
The 2♥ on the river brought no more action, so Michaud flipped over A♦6♥ for two pair. Mata had A♣5♥, so they split the pot.

In a three-bet pot, Hervé Gouzil on the button continued with a bet of 1,500 on a flop of 4♠2♦5♥. Antonio Alves snap-called from under the gun, and a third player folded.
On the turn 8♠, Gouzil fired a second barrel of 3,000, but Alves check-raised to 6,000. Gouzil called, then went into the tank after Alves bet 11,000 on the river Q♥.
Gouzil eventually called with 9♦9♠ and scooped the pot, as Alves had a lower pair with K♣5♣.
