On a flop of K♣Q♦2♠, Ryan James bet 19,000 out of the small blind and Muaaz Gani came along on the button to see them head to the 10♥ turn. James now checked before calling a bet of 27,000 and checked the 7♣ on the river.
Gani fired a bet of 75,000 and James splashed out his time bank extension cards. He used only one of them to call and Gani tabled his A♠8♦ for a bluff, while James won the pot with the J♦J♣.

On the J♣5♥4♠ flop, Li check-raised from 27,000 to 80,000 to force out Msuya while flop bettor Nortje called.

Li showed the J♥8♥ and Nortje won the pot with the A♣J♠ to say "unlucky Andy" to his opponent.
Li was down to around 80,000 but snatched a double through Nortje when they got it in on the K♣10♥9♦8♣ turn.
Xianbin Li: K♥9♣ 
Marko Nortje: 10♦8♦

On a nearby table, Xuecheng Mi three-bet to 24,000 and Ivan Govorov called. The flop came K♣Q♦2♥ and Govorov in the cutoff checked. Mi bet 25,500 and that was enough to claim the pot right there.
Raza Tahora was all-in for more than 120,000 preflop and Alvin Pillay took the flip for most of the profit he had made early on Day 2 so far.
Raza Tahora: K♠Q♠
Alvin Pillay: 10♦10♥
The Q♥4♣2♠ flop gave Tahora the lead with a pair of queens and the 8♣ turn changed nothing. Pillay needed one of the remaining tens in the deck but instead, Tahora further improved with the K♦ river.
"Wow you flop quads and get paid," Kumi Pather exclaimed over on table ten and that came right after big stack Todd Hellyar had taken a big hit with a full double for Brian Rettmann.
