Cody Stanford: K♠K♦
Chad Link: 7♣7♦

Antonio Torpoco and Nicholas Rigby were heads-up in a pot that had nearly 200,000 in the middle already. Torpoco was first to act and announced all in as the bigger stack. Rigby had a decision to make for his remaining 140,000 chips and he dipped into the tank.
Nearly two minutes had passed and the clock was called. Rigby dropped in a stack of chips to call and Torpoco turned over A♠K♠ for the nut flush. Rigby could only muster Q♥9♦ for two pair and was eliminated early on Day 2.
Jason Maeroff raised it up from under the gun and Mike Cordell three-bet to 55,000 in the cutoff. Maeroff called and they went heads-up to a flop of A♥K♠Q♣.
Maeroff checked to Cordell who continued with a bet of 60,000 and Maeroff called. The turn brought the 10♥ and Maeroff led out with a bet of 150,000. Cordell called and the 6♥ completed the board.
Maeroff announced all in and Cordell instantly threw his K♥K♦ face up into the muck as he stormed out of the tournament area for a cigarette. Maeroff collected the pot and became the first player to surpass seven figures.
Eric Salazar opened to 17,000 in middle position and Dylan Lemery just called on his left. Michael Myers was next to act in the hijack and ripped all in for 102,000. The action folded back to Lemery who instantly called and the cards were tabled.
Michael Myers: 9♥9♣
Dylan Lemery: J♠J♦
Lemery had the better of the two pocket pairs and was in great shape to add to his stack. The board ran out Q♥8♠8♥8♣A♥ and Myers was unable to find any help in order to survive.
A completed board of Q♦7♦6♦Q♣4♣ was spread across the felt with around 75,000 in the middle already. Broc Peden led out with a bet of 20,000 in the small blind and Carl Masters raised the minimum to 40,000 in the cutoff.
Peden looked him up and Masters turned over K♦2♦ for a flopped flush and the best hand to rake in an early pot.
Richard Coates raised to 24,000 in the hijack and Nicholas Rigby called in the cutoff. The flop came A♠K♦J♦ and Coates continued with a bet of 24,000 which Rigby called.
The turn was the 9♣ and Coates sized up a bet of 80,000 this time. Rigby mulled it over for a minute but decided to send his cards into the muck.
