Marco van Opzeeland started the day with just over 15,000 and for the longest time he wasn't able to make anything happen.
Just now we saw him seated at a different table after his first table got broken. All of the sudden he had 140,000 in front of him.
Van Opzeeland told us he had been grinded down a couple of times just to double back up with the best hand not much later.
But when things really mattered he got lucky. Holding ace-queen he rivered someone with kings. Two queens on the board and Van Opzeeland started his full recovery. Not much later he successfully bluffed Marc-Andre Ladouceur and made some good lay downs to get his stack up to 140,000.

We're sad to inform you that Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov, who began Day 2 with the biggest stack for Team Pros, was recently eliminated. We missed the details, but he did tweet about it:
While Katchalov is out of the Main Event, he isn't done playing today. That's because he needs to finish his heads-up match against Niki Jedlicka in the Eureka High Roller, which you can read about by clicking here.
Michael Telker has been eliminated. He folded for most of the day, claiming to be card dead. Having moved tables he got one shove through but was out soon after. PokerNews caught up with him just after the Tournament Director had returned his water bottle filled with vodka.
Asked about his exit hand all he would say was, “Jacks against king-queen? Yeah that didn’t really work out.”
