Joao Nascimento eked out a small lead early on in Game 2, before the first big confrontation saw Krystian Lisowski eliminated.

Lisowski shoved blind on blind with K♦4♦ and was called by Nascimento with Q♠9♣ in the big blind. The board came Q♦3♠2♣8♠7♣ with Nascimento's flopped top pair enough to eliminate one of his opponents.

Now up against Guilherme Kleist, Nascimento shoved blind on blind with K♦8♣ and was called by Kleist's J♦9♣ in the big blind.

In the battle of the Brazilians, Nascimento didn't even need the king on the turn of a 10♣10♦2♠K♣7♥ board, but it saw him move to two wins, with four required for victory.
