Owen Dodd limped in from the cutoff before the button raised to 1,500. Jamie Walden, in the small blind, then three-bet to 4,000 and both Dodd and the button called.
The flop came J♣10♠2♠ and action checked to the button who bet 7,000. Walden then raised to 17,000 and Dodd got out of the way. Walden's remaining opponent, though, tanked for a minute before reraising to 29,000, leaving a green 500 chip behind.
Walden then tanked for a minute before moving all in, and his opponent tossed in his last chip.
All-In Player: A♦J♦
Jamie Walden: K♣Q♥
Walden had a straight draw against his opponent's top pair but failed to connect with the 2♦ turn. The river was the Q♦ and Walden made top pair to send his opponent crashing out of the tournament.
"That's what the kids do nowadays. Limp, raise, three-bet. He was excited to look at king-queen," a tablemate joked with Walden after the hand.

Around 20,000 was already in the pot as Jay Villegas and an opponent went to the river on a completed board of 9♣2♠8♠J♦7♠.
Villegas' opponent, on the button, then moved all in for 18,000. Villegas tanked for a moment in the small blind before calling.
"You win," the all-in player said, instantly tossing his cards into the middle of the table. Villegas opened up A♣J♥ for a pair of jacks as he took the pot and sent his opponent to the rail.

A player in early position bet 4,400 on a board of 4♣3♠2♠9♥ and Yucel Eminoglu called in middle position, as did Terry Jordon on the button.
The river came the 7♥ and action checked to Eminoglu who bet 11,000. Jordon gave up his hand, but the early-position player tanked for a moment before calling.
"Do you have a straight," Eminoglu asked his opponent as he showed 7♦6♦. To his great surprise, his opponent mucked and Eminoglu took the pot with his pair of sevens.
"What? I make a value bet on the river. I'm a good player," Eminoglu joked after the hand.

Players are on the first 15-minute break of the day.
The field has grown to 89 total entries so far today, already surpassing the total from Day 1a.
Terry Jordon took a break from managing his massive stack to tend to his other stack in the high roller event. He returned after nearly an entire level to find he had been moved and had to ask the tournament director where his new seat was.
As soon as he sat down, he went to the turn on a board of 5♣10♦Q♦J♥ as he and his opponent checked to the 9♦ river.
Jordon then pushed forward a bet of 10,000 and his opponent quickly called. Jordon showed J♦2♦ for the rivered flush, while his opponent had K♦J♠ before mucking.
