The cutoff jammed in his final 33,500 chips over an open from Thomas Hulley in early position, and the latter called off.
Cutoff: J♦J♣ 
Thomas Hulley: K♥K♦
The cutoff was far behind, and the 9♣Q♦2♦10♦6♥ runout gave him no relief and eliminated him on the final level of Day 2.

David Wintersberger opened to 6,500 and earned three callers including Mikita Badziakouski in the cutoff. All four players checked down the 9♠5♠3♦6♥5♥ board and the small blind slammed down the 6♦6♣ on the table with plenty of frustration, as no other player behind him had made any move to steal the pot off him.
Wintersberger has become the biggest stack on his table and climbed to nearly six times the starting stack in the final level of the night.

Action was picked up on the flop with the board showing 2♦5♥5♠.
Thomas DiGiacomo checked from middle position to his opponent on the button who bet out 30,000. DiGiacomo then raised all in for 80,500. After getting a count, his opponent made the call.
Thomas DiGiacomo: A♠A♥
Button: J♠J♥
DiGiacomo had his opponent in bad shape with his pocket aces, and after the board ran out 3♠ on the turn, and 9♠ on the river, DiGiacomo aces were still best to give him the double up.

Around 35,000 was in the middle as Chad Lipton and an opponent in middle position saw the turn on a board of 5♥9♥7♣10♣. The middle-position then bet 15,000.
Lipton, in early position, raised to 160,000, effectively putting his opponent at risk. His opponent took a few minutes before folding Q♥J♥ as Lipton took the pot.
"You had a lot of outs. I didn't have hearts," Lipton said.

The cutoff opened and Mo Nuwwarah defended the big blind.
When the K♥J♥9♣ flop hit the felt, Nuwwarah check-raised a bet of 3,000 to 14,000 and the cutoff made the call.
The 7♠ fell on the turn, and Nuwwarah continued for 36,000, which was called once again.
The dealer dropped the 2♠ on the river and Nuwwarah pushed 200,000 across the line, betting enough to cover his opponent who had about 75,000 remaining. After roughly five minutes, a tablemate called the clock. The floor gave the player a count down and declared the hand dead as there was still no action, sending the pot to Nuwwarah.

The flop showed 9♦2♥A♥. Emery Martindale was all in already as Douglas Pappan and Masafumi Fukata played out a hand.
Fukata bet 10,000. Pappan raised that up to 39,000, Fukata folded after a few moments.
Emery Martindale: 9♥3♥
Douglas Pappan: A♣J♥
Pappan had the advantage but would need to hold against all of the outs. The turn was the Q♦ and the river the 7♣ to miss Martindale and send him away.
