Nazar Buhaiov, who won the High Roller event just a few days ago, made it 5,500 under the gun only to be immediately three-bet to 15,000 by Maksym Bosyk in the next seat. Paul Grummitt cold-called from the small blind, but Buhaiov folded.

Check, check came after the 5♠8♠A♦ flop, and the 9♠ landed on the turn. Grummitt tossed out a bet of 20,000, which Bosyk called.

A 7♥ completed the board and Grummitt placed out a small bet of 10,000. Bosyk did some inventory of his stack, which amounted to 79,000, then slid them all across the betting line. Grummitt quickly called, and Boysk showed A♣A♠ for top set. Grummitt revealed two pair with A♥9♥ as the the majority of his stack was sent over to Bosyk.

Giulio Gallo

Giulio Gallo has a UFC jacket on today, and he's just shown that he's not going to tap out easily.

The action was picked up on the turn with the board reading 5♦K♣10♠4♦ with around 30,000 in the middle and Gallo checked it over from early position to Tim Gerwig in middle position, who bet 18,500. Gallo called.

An A♥ fell on the river and Gallo checked again, only for Gerwig to shove 74,500. Gallo went into the tank and took around a minute before he flicked in the call.

Gerwig revealed two pair with K♥10♥, but Gallo had a bigger two pair with A♦10♦ to win the pot and deliver the knockout.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ufuk Erkmen opened it up to 10,000 from the hijack and Mustafa Hadzibegovic was the only caller from the big blind.

Both checked the 2♥5♣9♠ flop to see the J♥ roll off on the turn. Hadzibegovic checked for a second time and then called Erkmen's bet of 5,000.

A final check came from Hadzibegovic on the 8♦ river and Urkmen fired out for 16,000. Hadzibegovic quickly called and was shown a bluff by Urkmen with K♠Q♥. Hadzibegovic flipped up 10♥9♥ for a pair of nines to take down the pot.

Bobby James is back in action and providing updates from his table, but unfortunately the first one was bad news for the British player.

James recalled that Kianoosh Matin opened from early position to 5,500 and Evgeny Ivanov called in middle position. James squeezed to 25,000 from the small blind, which both players called.

James bet 18,000 on the AxQx7x flop, which both of his opponents called to the Qx turn, making the board a full rainbow. James fired again for 27,000, Matin folded, and Ivanov called.

A 4x completed the board and James shoved, then Ivanov quickly called for his remaining 56,000.

James showed KxQx for trip queens, but Ivanov had a boat with AxQx to win the pot.

Zael Zela opened the button and Mihail Ketlerov jammed for around 50,000 from the small blind. Zela instantly called to put Ketlerov at risk.

Mihail Ketlerov: 3♥3♣ All in
Zael Zela: A♥J♥

Ketlerov was a race with his pair of treys against the ace-jack of Zela.

The flip went Zela's way as the board ran out 10♠K♦A♠7♦Q♦ to give him a Broadway straight, and Ketlerov was one of the early exits on Day 2.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Three ways to the 2♥K♥J♥ flop where the action checked to Vedat Yilmaz on the button. Yilmaz bet 6,500, which was only called by Alain Hajj in middle position.

A 4♠ came on the turn and Hajj check-called a second barrel from Yilmaz, this time for 16,500.

A board pairing 4♣ came on the river, and both players checked. Hajj turned over A♠K♠ for a pair of kings, but lost the pot to Yilmaz's Q♥6♥ for a flopped flush.

The first casualty of the day didn't take too long.

On a board of 9♥Q♠A♦8♦, Huma Feizi bet 50,000 and then called off her stack after Zhengpeng Liu shoved the turn.

Huma Feizi: 9♣8♣ All in
Zhengpeng Liu: A♣Q♥

Both players had two pair, but Feizi needed to boat up on the river to stay alive. Unfortunately for her, the 6♥ rolled off, which sent her to the rail early on.
