Carlos Lam Wu raised to 45,000 in early position before Morgan Petro three-bet to 125,000 in middle position. Wu then moved all in, and Petro tanked for a minute before calling for 700,000.
Morgan Petro: J♠J♦ 
Carlos Lam Wu: Q♦Q♥
Petro picked up a straight draw on the 10♠9♣7♦ flop, but he improved no further on the 2♣ turn or K♦ river as Wu took down the big pot to send Petro to the rail.
After two limps in front of him, Jordan Phillips moved all in for 100,000 from the small blind. Eric Kotsines then reshoved in early position, and the rest of the table got out of the way.
Jordan Phillips: 3♥3♠
Eric Kotsines: A♦Q♠
Kotsines hit top pair on the Q♦6♦5♥ flop to take the lead, and he stayed in front through the 10♦ turn and 10♣ river to send Phillips off to the payout desk.
Three players went to a flop of Q♠5♥10♥ when Timothy Conrow moved all in for 50,000 from the big blind. Jonathan Kim then reraised to 200,000 in the hijack to chase away the rest of the table.
Timothy Conrow: J♦5♣
Jonathan Kim: K♣Q♦
Kim was ahead with his top pair, and Conrow couldn't catch up on the 9♥ turn or 9♠ river as he was sent to the rail early on Day 2.
