We've reached the end of the level, and the players are on their first 15-minute break of the day.
Thomas Hoglund, Jr. opened to 100,000 under the gun, and his next-door neighbor Dan Shak three-bet to 300,000 straight. When it came back to Hoglund, Jr., he four-bet shoved for about 670,000 total. Shak made the call, and the cards were on their backs.
Showdown
Hoglund, Jr.: 
Shak: 
The board ran out 
, and Hoglund Jr.'s aces up mean he gets to double up. That bumps him up to about 1.43 million now, dropping Shak down to 1.31 million in the process.
In a battle of the blinds, Aaron Overton open-shoved for about 530,000, and Vanessa Selbst made the call next door with her big stack and a chance at the knockout.
Showdown
Overton:
Selbst: 
The 
flop was not good news for Overton as Selbst found top pair to take a huge lead with two to come. Overton's best shot now was to find one of the jacks in the deck to make Broadway.
He'd lose one of those outs as the turn killed the jack of hearts as a potential out, and Overton was one card from the door.
River: .
That's not going to get Overton over the hump, and the Day 2 chip leader has fallen in seventh place. That's good for $50,000, and we're down to our final six player.
Selbst is up to 2.83 million with that knockout.
