Verdugo Hit By Carr
Level 21
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Paul Carr had open-raised from the hijack before Raphael Verdugo shoved in his final 213,000 chips from the cutoff. The action folded back to Carr, who asked for a count and made the call shortly after hearing the correct number.
Raphael Verdugo: A♥K♣ 
Paul Carr: 8♥8♦
Verdugo failed to hit an ace or king on the 3♦7♠7♣6♣9♠ runout, and his Main Event ended late on Day 2 as a result.

O'Kearney Steadily Climbing
Level 21
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Paul Corrway limped in from the small blind and Dara O'Kearney checked his option in the big blind. Corrway then continued for 18,000 on the A♠4♥10♥ flop and O'Kearney put in a call.
Corrway sized up to 33,000 on the J♠ turn, but O'Kearney still stuck around with a call. The 6♦ river was quickly checked by both, and O'Kearnet tabled K♦J♥ for a pair of jacks and the winning hand.
O'Kearney ended up with more than double the average as his Day 2 is going smoothly thus far.

Whitehead Finds Ambitious Shove
Level 21
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Day 1d chipleader Gary Whitehead had raised preflop from early position and Fabian Ghidarcea called in middle position. The flop then fell 4♥9♦J♦ and Whitehead continued for 37,000.
Ghidarcea raised to 90,000 and Ghidarcea three-bet jammed, covering his opponent's stack of 254,000.
Ghidarcea snap called and the cards went on their backs.
Fabian Ghidarcea: A♠J♥
Gary Whitehead: A♥8♥
Whitehead was drawing very thin, but the 8♦ turn gave him some semblance of hope. The 10♣ river secured the pot for Ghidarcea's top pair, however, as he doubled up to an above-average stack.
