Andres Korn opened to 3,500 from middle position before Bekim Murtezi three-bet to 10,000 from the hijack. Sandor Hadnagy cold-called out of the big blind and Korn also stuck around.

Murtezi continued for 12,000 on the A♠10♥9♥ flop. Hadnagy then moved all-in for 33,500 before Korn rejammed for around 60,000. Murtezi snap-called as the bigger stack and the cards were tabled.

Sandor Hadnagy: A♣Q♦All in
Andres Korn: 7♥6♥All in
Bekim Murtezi: 9♣9♦

Each player had a bit of something, but Murtezi was the favorite with his set of nines. The K♦ turn gave Hadnagy a gutshot to Broadway while Korn still had his combo draw.

The 10♠ completed the board to fill Murtezi up and he downed two opponents early on in Day 2.

Following an early position raise to 3,500, Ren Lin three-bet to 10,000 from the button. Christian Oerum then four-bet to 34,000 from the big blind.

The original raiser folded, but Lin wasn't ready to.

"You gamble that much? Okay, all in," said Lin as he then moved in with Oerum's roughly 110,000 slightly covered.

Oerum thought briefly, prompting a comment by Lin of " Oh, no snap-call! You try to bluff me?" followed by "Nice fold, nice fold".

Oerum though didn't fold as he decided to call, setting up a sizeable flip.

Christian Oerum: A♥K♥All in
Ren Lin: J♠J♣

The board came 9♣7♣3♦4♣Q♦ as Lin's jacks held to eliminate his opponent and score a near double-up himself.

"Professional gambling," commented Lin as he stacked his newfound chips.

The following hand, Gabriel Cunha opened to 3,000 from early position. Jesse Lonis called from the cutoff. Schwippert and Fabiano Da Costa came along from the blinds.

Three checks put the action on Lonis and he bet 6,000 on the 8♥5♣4♣ flop. Schwippert made it 16,000, folding out Da Costa and Cunha. Lonis thought for a moment before calling.

On the 7♦ turn, Schwippert moved all in as the bigger stack. Lonis had between 40,000 and 50,000 and quickly called for his tournament life.

Jesse Lonis: 8♦6♦All in
Jan-Eric Schwippert: J♣8♣

Lonis had an eight-high straight while Schwippert had outs to the flush.

The A♣ river saw Lonis leave his chair as his opponent got there.

"I deserve it, nice hand," said Lonis.

Spragg, who'd been chatting away from the table, appeared shocked at Lonis leaving.

"I leave you alone for two minutes buddy," said a stunned Spragg. The duo exchanged a handshake before Lonis left the tournament room.
