Benjamin Stauch: A♠J♠
Ediberto Pilotin: Q♠Q♦
Stauch was hunting for an ace as Pilotin had a big hand with pocket queens.
The 7♣9♦8♥ flop gave Stauch a little bit more to work with as he gained a gutshot straight draw.
Pilotin stayed in front on the 6♣ turn, and the 3♣ river was the final card Stauch would see on Day 2 as he was eliminated from contention.
Stauch earned $3,622 for his 12th-place finish.
