    Frierson Poached

    Gregory Thorson and Gary Frierson got it all in preflop, with Frierson the player at risk. He turned over {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}, poised for a double up against Thorson's {A-?} {K-?}.

    It wasn't meant to be though, as the board ran {A-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {2-Spades} {8-Spades}. After picking up his pair of aces, Thorson has eliminated Gary Frierson from the field.

    Matt Stout Goes Flat

    Matt Stout got all his chips in preflop as a huge favorite against Tam Hang, but it didn't help.

    Stout: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
    Hang: {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

    Stout held on all the way to the river when the board came {8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, but Hang finally found his three-outer with the {A-Clubs} and Stout's day was done.

    Deniro Denied

    In a hand we caught on the turn, Joseph Deniro got all in against Theo Tran on a board of {6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}.

    Deniro showed {J-Hearts}{6-Spades} for bottom pair and a straight draw while Tran held {9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for the made straight. When Deniro couldn't catch up on the river, he was sent to the rail.

    Hanks Heads Out

    Brent Hanks got all of his chips into the pot on a turn board reading {J-Clubs} {9-Spades} {K-Clubs} {6-?}. Srinivasa Yarlagadda looked him up to put Hanks' tournament life in danger.

    Showdown
    Yarlagadda: {Q-Clubs} {J-Hearts}
    Hanks: {6-Clubs} {8-Clubs}

    Hanks had outs, but the {A-Spades} that hit the river was not one of them. He has been eliminated from Day 2.

    Jacks Let Alan Smurfit Down

    Alan Smurfit and Josh Tieman got all in preflop and, unfortunately for Smurfit, the better hand won.

    Smurfit: {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
    Tieman: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}

    When the board ran {7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, Smurfit's jacks couldn't improve and he was eliminated. Tieman now has 105,000 chips.

    Gavatin Falls

    Ping Chan raised it up to 2,100, and Mats Gavatin moved all in for a total of 11,700. When it came back to Chan, he made the call to put Gavatin at risk.

    Showdown
    Chan: {A-Spades} {J-Spades}
    Gavatin: {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}

    Gavatin was in brilliant shape for a double up, but the flop was a disastrous {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {7-Spades}. The {6-Hearts} and {7-Clubs} that filled out the board could not save Gavatin, and he has been eliminated in the ugliest of ways.
