Nuri Hadioglu opened to 5,500 in early position and Ryan Price defended out of the big blind. Price checked on the flop of 3♠4♣K♦ and Hadioglu continued for 4,000. Price laid it down.
Meanwhile, the legendary Patrik Antonius sits with a stack of 175,000.
Ran Shahar shoved for his last 6,500 from early position and Viet Vo three-bet to 16,000 from the cutoff. Everyone else got out of the way and a showdown was held.
Ran Shahar: J♣9♣
Viet Vo: 10♥10♣
Shahar would need some help, but the 9♠Q♦6♥5♠6♣ runout wasn't enough and Shahar was eliminated about halfway through Day 2.
Four players saw the J♦J♠7♦ flop, and the action checked to Juan Maceiras in the hijack who dropped a bet of 7,500. Laurie Tournier called on the button while Umberto Ruggeri and Selahaddin Bedir check-folded in the blinds.
When the 4♣ hit the turn, Maceiras continued to barrel, putting 15,000 across the line. This time Tournier quickly surrendered her cards.
Patrik Antonius opened to 5,000 from the hijack and was called by Ryan Price in the small blind.
Both players checked on the 5♦4♠Q♣ flop and then Price led out for 8,500 on the 2♠ turn. Antonius called.
The 3♣ river brought a four-liner to a straight and Price bet 11,500. Antonius paused and then cut out a raise to 55,000 and placed it into the middle as cameramen began surrounding the table at the sight of a big pot brewing.
Price annonced a call and Antonius showed 5♣6♣ for a straight. It ended up being an anticlimactic affair as Price tabled A♠6♠ for the same straight and they split the pot.
Alexey Badulin opened 5,000 under the gun and Lukas Peleckis three-bet 15,000 next to act before Cezar Oliveira put in a four-bet to 38,500. Badulin thought about it for about 15 seconds before announcing all in for 193,000. Peleckis snap-mucked and Oliveira wasted no time making the call.
Alexey Badulin: A♠A♦
Cezar Oliveira: K♣K♥
"I felt it was aces!" Yelled Peleckis, who got away from the hand.
Unfortunately for Oliveira, he couldn't catch a king as the board ran out J♣10♦5♠6♦4♠, taking more than half of his stack and sending it Badulin's way.

Raoul Refos raised to 5,500 from middle position and Yanis Avanesyan called from the button before Ionut Josanu came along from the big blind.
The flop was 6♠6♦A♣ and Josanu checked. Refos tossed out 5,000 and Avanesyan called while Josanu got out of the way.
Both players checked the 4♠ turn and the river was 3♥. Refos checked again and folded when Avanesyan fired 15,000.
Meanwhile, Benjamin Spragg and Nicholas Palma are seated next to one another at the same table.
Francisco Benitez opened to 5,000 from early position and Andras Matrai three-bet jammed a stack of around 25,000 from the button. Morelli Felipe cold-called in the big blind and Benitez took some time before four-bet jamming with Felipe covered. Felipe snap-called for around 140,000.
Morelli Felipe: 7♥7♦
Andras Matrai: A♣A♠
Francisco Benitez: K♠K♣
Matrai was on the right side of the massive preflop cooler and improved to a set on the 2♥A♦Q♥ flop before the board finished out 3♠J♠ to earn him the big pot and send Felipe to the rail.
