Heads-up on a flop of K♣7♥6♥, Hassan Nashar moved all in from under the gun and Espen Sandvik called for his last 250,000 in the big blind.
Espen Sandvik: K♥4♥ 
Hassan Nashar: A♠5♦
Sandvik had a big lead with top pair and a flush draw, and the J♦ turn left Nashar with just two outs going to the river. He found one of them with the A♦, and Sandvik's Day 2 lasted just one hand.
The 207 entries generated a prize pool of $4,968,000. The 32 remaining players are guaranteed $50,000, while the champion will earn $1,150,000.
