Robert Spano: J♥7♥
Kenta Ito: A♥4♠
Spano was looking to connect with the board but totally missed everything as the 9♣2♣K♠2♦6♠ board meant he was sent to the rail with four tables remaining in the Main Event,

Chao Duan raised to 325,000 from under the gun, leaving himself just 5,000 behind. It was folded to Pranav Bhatt in the big blind, who announced he was all in. Duan called all in for his last chip and hands were revealed.
Chao Duan: 8♠7♠
Pranav Bhatt: 6♣6♦
It was a fair fight, but the 9♣2♦3♣K♠2♠ runout kept Bhatt's pair best and he collected the rest of Duan's chips.

Henry Tran had his stack of around 450,000 in the middle and was in a dominating position against Yuanting Wang.
Henry Tran: A♣K♠
Yuanting Wang: K♣8♣
Wang was looking to thin down the field but needed a bit of luck if he wanted to do so as Tran was a big favorite. However, being the favorite in poker doesn't always work out as Tran realized when the flop came 3♥8♠J♥, giving Wang a pair of eights. The 3♦ turn changed nothing, and despite Tran making top pair with the K♥ river, it wasn't enough as Wang rivered two pair to take the pot.

Marc Seymour opened to 60,000 form the cutoff and was flatted by Liam Murray on the button. Louis Luo then squeezed to 180,000 from the big blind, which got a fold from Seymour, but a back-shove from Murray for 565,000 total.
Luo thought for a couple of minutes before placing calling chips into the middle to put Murray at risk.
Liam Murray: A♥K♣
Louis Luo: 7♠7♥
Murray found himself in a race for his tournament life, but it wasn't his day as the 10♣2♥6♥9♣4♦ runout held up for Luo's pair — sending Murray out late in Day 2.

Peter Stott opened to 60,000 first to act and he was three-bet to 210,000 by Steven Zhou in the hijack. Action then folded to Weiran Pu, who shoved for approximately 900,000 from the big blind. Stott folded and Zhou quickly called, having Pu covered.
Weiran Pu: Q♥Q♦
Steven Zhou: A♦A♠
It was the worst-case scenario for Pu, and the 10♦K♣4♥4♦7♣ runout changed nothing to send the massive pot Zhou's way and eliminate Pu.

There were already around 800,000 chips in the pot on a 5♥5♦Q♥A♦ board when Toby Joyce bet 210,000 from the big blind and Louis Luo called.
A 2♣ dropped on the river and Joyce didn't slow down as he pushed out a bet of 1,000,000. Luo went into the tank for around two minutes and eventually settled on a fold.
After the hand, Joyce was deciding whether to show but chose not to, returning his cards face down.
