We didn't get the preflop action but we did see Joseph Hertzog and his opponent move all in on the 
flop.
Hertzog: 
Opponent: 
Both players flopped a set but Hertzog had, and would retain, the lead through the 
turn and 
river. Hertzog is coming off a second-place finish in Event #39 just a few weeks ago.

On a 
flop with 6,450 in the middle we found both blinds checking to Alberto Cerrutti who moved all in for 13,900. Adam Weinraub made the call from the button before the small blind folded only to have Gabriel Paul move all in for roughly an additional 20,000. Weinraub folded and Cerrutti was at risk.
Cerrutti: 
Paul: 
With Cerrutti needing to find an eight or two pair on the board to counterfeit Paul, the turn and river landed the 
and 
to see Cerrutti spike to stay alive and triple to 48,150.

After a late position raise from Steven Wolansky, Phil Galfond defended his big blind and the pair saw a flop come 
. Both players checked. The turn brought the 
and with some deliberation Galfond set out a bet of 1,200 which Wolansky called.
The river was the . This time Galfond bet 3,600, and Wolansky took his time responding taking a swig from his Pepsi as he contemplated the situation. Finally he let his hand go, and Galfond picked up a few early chips here in Level 6.

Evan Panesis is starting Day 2A the same way he ended Day 1A, by gathering chips.
Christian Nanetti limped from under the gun, Panesis called from the small blind, and Tom Hu checked his option in the big blind. The flop fell 
, and action checked to Nanetti, who bet 1,600. Only Panesis called. The dealer turned the 
, and Panesis checked again. Nanetti continued for 3,100, and Panesis called. The river was the 
, and Panesis checked a third time. Nanetti barreled again, this time for 7,500. Panesis called again, and turned over 
for a small flush. Nanetti turned over 
before sending his cards to the dealer, and Panesis raked in the pot.
Jonathan Gray was all in on the 
board against two others players, one of which was Cyrill Gustavsson. The river completed the board with the 
, and Gustavsson checked. His opponent bet 11,700, to which Gustavsson responded by check-raising all in for 29,025. His opponent called.
Gustavsson showed the

for a weaker flush, and then Gray, the all-in player on the turn contesting for only the main pot, showed the . Gustavsson's nut flush proved to beat all hands, and he won the pot. Gray was eliminated, and Gustavsson moved to 80,000 in chips.
In other news, Gordon Brusatore was eliminated on another table.

Action started with Robert Carra limping in from early position. It folded to Doyle Brunson in the hijack, and he raised it up to 1,500. Louis Crispino called from the button, as did Carra, and they went three ways to a flop of 
. It was checked to Brunson, who fired out a bet of 2,050, and that got it through, as both his opponents folded.
It's a small pot but still a good start for the legend who is looking to make his first deep run in the Main since 2004, where he finished 53rd.

On a board of 
and roughly 7,000 in the middle, we found Faraz Jaka betting out 3,200 into Anton Allemann.

In a flurry of action we saw Fatima Moreira de Melo bust out on the first hand of the day. After a raise and a reraise preflop she was all in before the flop against Andrew Brown.
De Melo: 
Brown: 
The flop came down giving no help to de Melo who still needed to draw an ace or a queen. The turn wasn't what she needed either, and the river was a blank as well allowing Andrew Brown to take down the pot and claim the scalp of the lovely de Melo.
