In a blind versus blind pot with around 12,000 in the middle, the board showed 3♠J♦Q♥2♠ when the small blind checked to Ryan Depaulo who checked as well.
The K♥ completed the board and after another check, Depaulo bet 6,000. It was enough to make his opponent fold.

A larger pot was brewing over on table 657 and some 95,000 were in the middle with the completed board reading A♣10♠10♦7♦4♦. Anthony Ribeiro had checked to Abraham Faroni and the latter then bet 58,000.
Ribeiro went deep into the tank for several minutes before another player at the table eventually called the clock. Within the allotted thirty seconds of extra time, Ribeiro eventually called and mucked upon being shown the 7♣7♠ by Faroni.

Ronnie Bardah kicked things off with a raise to 3,000 in the cutoff and the button three-bet to 8,500. Lachezar Petkov four-bet to 21,500 from the big blind which got a quick fold from Bardah. The button five-bet to 55,000 and Petkov six-bet shoved all in for 141,500. The button thought for over a minute before finally making the call.
Lachezar Petkov: K♥K♣
Button: K♠K♦
Petkov was disappointed to see his opponent's kings while the opposite was true for the button. The board ran out A♦7♣2♥3♠2♦ and both players were able to take their chips back.
"There's two kinds of people in this world," Bardah started. "Those that cheer for a chop and those that cheer for a suit."

In a 12,500 pot, the board was dealt up until the turn and read Q♥4♥7♣2♦. Oscar Alache was in the big blind and checked to Giuseppe Galluzzo in middle position. The latter then bet 9,000 and received a call from Alache.
The 3♦ river was then revealed and both players checked. Alache turned ober 7♦6♥ and his pair of sevens was good for the winner. Galluzzo need not fret, however, as he has amassed a stack of over 400,000 throughout Day 2abc.
On another table, Nick Schulman was eliminated from the Main Event.

Two players remained in the hand as the pot stood at approximately 55,000.
On a board of J♦6♠10♥, the player in the hijack checked the action to Mariano Gondolo in the cutoff who bet out for 20,000. The hijack responded with a raise to 45,000 and Gondolo called.
The turn came the 2♥. The hijack moved all in putting Gondolo to the test for his effective stack of 96,500. Gondolo called.
Mariano Gondolo: A♠A♣
Hijack: J♠J♥
With one card to come, Gondolo needed to find one of his two outs to stay alive. The A♦ fell on the river and Gondolo found the full double up.
Infuriated by their own misfortune, the hijack erupted from the table.
"My friend, you're invincible!" exclaimed one of the other players at the table.

Action was picked up with players four-way on a flop reading 2♦Q♦2♥. Sam Abernathy checked in the small blind, Rene Majed checked from the big blind, a player in early position bet 5,000 and Bret Maynard called from the button. Abernathy and Majed also called.
Action checked back to the early position player on the 3♠ turn, who bet 13,000. Maynard called while Abernathy and Majed both folded.
The river was the 3♥. The early position player bet 35,000 and Maynard quickly moved all in for about 80,000, forcing a fold from his opponent.
Maynard revealed he had Q♠Q♣ for queens full of threes while collecting a nice pot.
