On a board showing {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{J-Hearts}, Jan Suchanek fired a 2,000 bullet from the button and Masaaki Kagawa moved all in over the top. "I made exactly the wrong bet," Suchanek offered, before eventually calling Kagawa's bet.

Suchanek: {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Kagawa: {K-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

The turn and river filled out {6-Clubs}, {5-Clubs} giving Kagawa the second nuts and the equalizer. The player who wins their third and final match will go on to play Rafe Furst in the money round.

During the intermission between their first and second matches, Eric Hershler saw Paul Wasicka getting a back rub from his girlfriend at the table.

Hershler jokingly confronted his opponent about the special treatment, and Wasicka's girlfriend responded, "Hi Eric . . . if you lose this match, I'll give you a back rub!" Eric laughed and replied, "Well - I'm tempted now," in jest.

Hershler went on to defeat Wasicka 2-0 and will play Lee "Final Table" Nelson in Round 3.
