Back-to-back hands saw Edgard Raffoul's stack evaporate in the closing stages of Day 2.
In the first hand, the action was picked up on a K♥5♥6♥ flop with around 125,000 in the middle. Alexander Sokolovsky from the small blind bet 15,000, and Raffoul made it 42,000 from the cutoff. Sokolovsky called.

Sokolovsky showed Q♥Q♦ for a flush, and Raffoul mucked.
The very next hand, Raffoul shoved for 152,000, and a player in the small blind called.
Edgard Raffoul: A♥J♠ 
Opponent: A♣Q♣
Raffoul paired his jack, but was eliminated after the Q♥J♦3♣9♠K♦ runout paired his opponent's queen.
