Action folded to Marty Golden on the button and he moved all in for his last 30,000 or so only to get called by Steven Curtin in the big blind.
Curtin: 
Golden: 
Curtin was out in front and remained there as the flop came down 
. The dealer proceeded to burn and turn the 
, another safe card for Curtin, followed by the 
. Just like that, Golden was eliminated from the tournament.
Tommy Vedes, who started the day second in chips, has been headed in the opposite direction thus far on Day 2, largely due to lady luck. Vedes was kind enough to tell us about a recent hand where he held 
on a 
board. He was up against Jesse White, who held 
, and all the money was in the pot, approximately 350,000 with White at risk. BINK . . . 
on the river to give White the straight and knock Vedes down to 115,000.

James Fox rasied to 8,000 under the gun only to have Stephen Kats move all in from middle position for 74,500. Action folded around to Chris Kim in the big blind and he was faced with a tough decision as he looked down at a pocket pair. He had close to the same amount as Kats, but a call would mean his tournament life. A call is what he settled on and the cards were turned up after Fox slyly got out of the way:
Kim: 
Kats: 
Kats was out in front with his kings and stayed there as the board ran out 
. With that, Kim was eliminated from the WSOPC Harrah's Tunica Main Event while Kats is up to around 160,000.
It is worth noting that Fox said he folded , which would have given him a full house and a monster pot had he called.
Vincent Cornoyer moved all in for his last 51,300 from middle position holding 
only to have Kurt Jewell move all in over the top with 
. The rest of the field folded and Cornoyer was the one at risk.
While Jewell was in a dominate position preflop, that all changed on the 
flop. Cornoyer had hit his set and took a commanding lead. The turn changed nothing and neither did the 
on the river. Cornoyer doubled to 110,000 while Jewell dropped to around 50,000.
There have been a few eliminations here in the first half of Level 17. They include: Lloyd Henry, Mike Bowman, and Benjamin Griffith.
Traci Brown, second-place finisher at the WSOPC Choctaw Main Event last month, moved all in for her last 25,000 and received a call from Jeff Gibralter.
Brown: 
Gibralter:
It was bad news for Brown and that didn't change as the board ran out 
. Her attempt at back-to-back final tables has come to a sudden halt early on Day 2.
Maurice Hawkins raised from early position only to have Michael Campbell move all in for 28,600 more from the hijack. Hawkins made the call and the cards were turned on their backs:
Hawkins: 
Campbell:
The 
was kind to Hawkins, giving him a pair of jacks; however, it also gave Campbell a straight draw. The turn was of no consequence, but the on the river gave Campbell the said straight and the double. He is up to 72,000 while Hawkins took a hit down to 92,000.
