In pole position is the United Kingdom’s Rob Yong, who bagged up 15,625,000 to end Day 2 well ahead of the rest of the field. Close behind are Rahul Byrraju with 10,850,000 and Canada’s Jamil Wakil on 10,100,000, while Poker Hall of Famer Phil Ivey sits just off the podium with 10,065,000.

Morten Klein Eliminated in 12th Place ($200,000)

Level 17 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Morten Klein
Morten Klein

Morten Klein jammed under the gun for 1,150,000 and Markkos Ladev made the call from the big blind blind to put Klein at risk.

Morten Klein: 74 All in
Markkos Ladev: A5

Klein was on the verge of being forced to commit most of his stack in the next hand, so he chose to go with this hand.

Klein had live cards heading to the Q610 flop, which kept Ladev's ace-high in the lead. The 10 turn meant only a seven or four on the river would save Klein. A J completed the board and Klein was sent to the rail in 12th place.

At the other table just before Klein was eliminated, Eric Wasserson was seen leaving the tournament area as he was the first player of the day to bust in 13th-place.

Kaladjurdjevic Flops a Boat to Double

Level 17 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Dejan Kaladjurdjevic
Dejan Kaladjurdjevic

Rahul Byrraju made it 450,000 under the gun and when it folded to Dejan Kaladjurdjevic in the big blind, he shoved for 4,450,000. Byrraju went into the tank for quite some time, burning through a few of his time banks. In the end, he decided to call, and the cards were shown.

Dejan Kaladjurdjevic: 33 All in
Rahul Byrraju: 88

Bryyaju made the right call, as he had Kaladjurdjevic's pocket treys dominated. Kaladjurdjevic was poised to be the next to hit the rail.

However, the AA3 flop propelled Kaladjurdjevic into the lead with a flopped boat. The rest of the board ran out J4 and Kaladjurdjevic doubled up through Byrraju.

Albert Daher Eliminated in 11th Place ($200,000)

Level 17 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Albert Daher

All the chips found their way into the middle by the time the river card was dealt on a board of 29810J. Albert Daher had K9, for a pair of nines on the flop and lost the pot to Rob Yong's QQ for a pair of queens.

The pot was sent to Yong, and Daher was out in the 11th. The tournament was now on the final table bubble.

Mikita Badziakouski Eliminated in 10th Place ($200,000)

Level 17 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Mikita Badziakouski
Mikita Badziakouski

Phil Ivey raised the button to 400,000 and Mikita Badziakouski defended out of the big blind.

Badziakouski started with a check on the 395 flop, and Ivey bet 400,000. Badziakouski paused momentarily before check-raising to 1,200,000. Ivey jammed to put Badziakouski all in, and Badziakouski reluctantly called for his last 2,025,000.

Mikita Badziakouski: 97 All in
Phil Ivey: QQ

Badziakouski was behind to Ivey's Ladies, and unless he got some help from the dealer, he would be the final table bubble boy of the $102,000 SHRS NLH Invitational.

The dealer burned a card, then rolled off the 3 on the turn, taking away Badziakouski's two pair outs. No nine hit the river as the 4 completed the board, and Badziakouski hit the rail in tenth place.

Markkos Ladev Eliminated in 9th Place ($250,000)

Level 17 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Markkos Ladev
Markkos Ladev

After just a few hands at the final table, Jesse Lonis raised under the gun to 425,000 before Markkos Ladev three-bet the cutoff to 1,100,000. When it got back to Lonis, he four-bet ripped it to put Ladev all in. Ladev quickly called for his stack of 5,500,000.

Markkos Ladev: KK All in
Jesse Lonis: A2

Lonis had just a few big blinds more than Ladev and needed to find an ace or some spades to make Ladev the first elimination at the final table.

A safe flop of 3QJ came down for Ladev's Cowboys, and the 10 turn took away a possible out for Lonis. Only a two-outer king on the river would end Ladev's day early. Miraculously, the K completed the board to give Lonis a Broadway straight, sending Ladev to the rail in ninth place.

Lonis Steam-Rolling the Start of the Final Table

Level 17 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Jesse Lonis
Jesse Lonis

Rahul Byrraju completed from the small blind and Jesse Lonis checked his option in the big blind.

Byrraju checked the Q92 flop before Lonis fired a min-bet of 200,000. Byrraju made the call.

The A fell on the turn and Byrraju check-called a bet of 600,000 from Lonis.

Byrraju checked one more time when he saw the 5 complete the board. Lonis bet 975,000, which Byrraju reluctantly called.

Lonis turned over a flopped two pair with Q2 to take down the pot, as Byrraju mucked Q3.

Maher Nouira raised to 400,000 from middle position before Rahul Byrraju jammed the button for 4,025,000. Rob Yong quickly jammed over the top out of the big blind with the covering stack, which forced Nouira to fold A10.

Rahul Byrraju: A10 All in
Rob Yong: AK

Byrraju was in rough shape against Yong's Big Slick and found no help on the 4793K runout as Yong improved to a pair of kings.

Byrraju shook everyone's hand as he headed to the exit in eighth place, while Yong moved up to 23,500,000 in chips.

Moss Wins a Pivotal Flip vs Kaladjurdjevic

Level 18 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Matt Moss
Matt Moss

Dejan Kaladjurdjevic raised to 625,000 from early position and Matt Moss shoved the button for 6,650,000. When it got back to Kaladjurdjevic, he called to put Moss at risk.

Matt Moss: 88 All in
Dejan Kaladjurdjevic: AK

The flip was huge for both players, and it looked like Kaladjurdjevic was going to take a commanding lead when the A appeared as the window card.

However, the flop was completed by the 38 to give Moss a set. Kaladjurdjevic was drawing dead by the Q turn, as the 9 completed the board, and Moss doubled through Kaladjurdjevic.

Jesse Lonis raised the button to 550,000 and Dejan Kaladjurdjevic stuck his stack of 1,425,000 into the middle from the big blind. Lonis called, and Kaladjurdjevic was at risk of being out in seventh place.

Dejan Kaladjurdjevic: K10 All in
Jesse Lonis: 99

Kaladjurdjevic needed to win this race to begin his spin-up. A flop of JJA gave Kaladjurdjevic a few extra outs, but the 9 turn vanquished all hope as Lonis hit a full house.

An irrelevant 4 completed the board, and Kaladjurdjevic was the next to leave the final table.
