On a heads-up flop of 3♥3♠6♠ Chance Kornuth led out for 165,000 from the big blind and Andriy Lyubovetskiy called from the button to see the 10♣ on the turn.
Kornuth continued for another 265,000 and Lyubovetskiy thought about it for a few seconds before he slid out the proper calling chips.
On the river 9♥, Kornuth fired again for 330,000 and Lyubovetskiy quickly slid his cards into the muck.

A raising war broke out on the K♦Q♠10♥ flop and Hani Mio declared "okay, I call" for the 700,000 he had behind when Andriy Lyubovetskiy had applied pressure with the bigger stack.
Hani Mio: K♥J♦10♣5♣
Andriy Lyubovetskiy: A♠A♣J♣4♦
Mio was up against broadway and needed a king or ten to avoid the elimination. Nothing changed with the 3♦ turn and Mio initially celebrated on the J♠ river before he realized that his exit in 49th place was sealed.

The all-in showdowns keep coming at a rapid pace and the latest to fall was Kane Kalas. He got it in with the K♣K♠Q♠7♣ and Bradley Kil looked him up with the A♥J♥8♦2♦. An ace on the flop was followed by another thereafter and that spelled the end for Kalas.
Also no longer in contention is Brandon Adams, who had been nursing a shorter stack for a while.

After some preflop betting, Ben Lamb and Espen Myrmo managed to get all of the chips into the middle, with Myrmo at risk of elimination.
Espen Myrmo: A♦9♦9♣8♣
Ben Lamb: A♠Q♥J♠4♥
"Well you're ahead right now," Lamb told Myrmo as the cards were tabled.
Unfortunately for Myrmo, the board ran out 2♠3♣6♣5♦3♠ which gave Lamb a wheel straight with his ace-four and Myrmo was eliminated.

Sean Winter opened the action to 85,000 from under the gun off a short stack. It folded to Joao Vieira in the small blind who reraised pot to 285,000. Next to act was Chad Eveslage who also announced "pot" and put in the remaining 695,000 in his stack. Winter and Vieira both called. The players were off to a full board.
Sean Winter: K♦Q♦Q♠9♠
Chad Eveslage: A♠A♦3♦2♠
Joao Vieira: K♥K♣5♠5♥
The full board would run out 9♦7♥A♣Q♥J♣ giving Eveslage top set, Winter middle set, and Vieira just a pair of kings. Winter hit the rail, Vieira's stack was punished, and Eveslage got over a pure double and a very healthy stack going into the final levels of the day.

LaDarren Banks:A♥K♥6♠2♠
Andrew Ige: A♦J♥8♣7♦

Jonathan Azoulay was spotted on his way to the payout desk and Dylan Weisman raked in the pot to further cement his status as one of the chip leaders late on Day 2.
Azoulay's K♦J♦9♥7♣ had flopped two pair on K♠J♠6♠ and they were crushed by the A♥A♠Q♣4♠ of Weisman. Nothing changed with the 10♦ turn and 2♠ river to send even more chips over to Weisman.

With half of his short stack in the middle already, Klemens Roiter was all-in after the J♦J♣4♥ flop for 255,000 and Firas Kashat looked him up with the covering stack.
Klemens Roiter: K♥J♠10♦10♥
Firas Kashat: A♠A♥9♠7♥
The 7♠ turn and 2♠ river were blanks and Roiter doubled.
"How does it feel to flop two jacks?" Kashat inquired and Roiter replied "I don't know ... I was ready to go home".
Kashat then "gambled" against Jonathan Borenstein to put another short stack at risk preflop.
Jonathan Borenstein: A♦A♠10♣8♥
Firas Kashat: K♠K♥4♠3♥
"How do you guys always have it?" Kashat sighed but spiked the king on the K♦3♣2♥ flop. The 10♠ turn and 10♥ river sent Borenstein to the payout desk.
"I gambled ... and I got a stack ... and you got a problem," Kashat announced to the table.

On a completed board of A♦10♠10♣9♠8♦, Chance Kornuth announced a bet of 360,000 and the action was over to Andriy Lyubovetskiy who stopped to think before making the call.
"I just have ace-king," Kornuth said but then Lyubovetskiy flipped over Q♦7♣6♣10♦ for a low straight to scoop the pot, boosting his already massive stack to 4,550,000.
