Bart Lybaert entered the field a while ago and he has good memories regarding the marathon. Lybaert finished 3rd last year behind Mark Sleet and Michael Addamo. Some would say Lybaert is off to a false start in this marathon.

A player opened to 600 and Niall Farrell called from the small blind, followed by the big blind player.
The flop fell and the initial raiser continued for 800 after Farrell and the third player checked. Farrell check-raised to 2,300 and only the initial raiser made the call.
The turn was the Farell checked and so did his opponent after a long time in the tank. On the river , Farrell checked once more and quickly folded after his opponent bet 3,400.
Aladin Reskallah had checked on the board and he was facing a bet of 1,300 by Mikhail Sokolovskiy. He called the bet after a third player folded and the river card completed the board.
Reskallah checked again and Sokolovskiy put him all in for his last 3,700. Reskallah thought about it for a while and then asked Sokolovskiy if he had ace-king.
Reskallah folded face up and Sokolovskiy announced ''good fold'' while he showed .
In a six-way pot, the flop read when Lily Kiletto bet 1,200 from the under the gun position after the players in the blinds checked. A player folded and it was only called by the hijack, the cutoff, and Eric Worre in small blind.
On the turn , Worre checked and so did Kiletto and the hijack player. The cutoff player bet 6,500 and Worre shoved for his remaining stack worth 20,000. Kiletto folded and after a few minutes, the cutoff made the call.

Worre turned the straight and a fell on the river, giving him the big pot.
The flop was and the player in the big blind checked to Rene Lazaro in early position. He bet 1,000 and 2018 WSOP Main Event runner-up Tony Miles called as well.
