Katsuta was all-in with a short stack holding the K♥9♥ and PINZMAN in the small blind looked him up with the A♠Q♥. The A♦K♦6♥5♦8♥ board paired up both players and that sent Katsuta to the rail.

With fewer than 70 players remaining in a fast-paced environment, the chip leader for Day 1c has been among the many casualties. Tomokatsu Kumano was sent to the payout desk in 65th place and was joined by fellow early big stacks Takaten, yukine, and Dorami.

In a three-bet pot to the 9♥6♠5♣ flop, KAITO123 was all-in out of the small blind for around 325,000 and showed the K♥K♦ for an overpair. Yuta in middle position had 9♦8♦ for top pair and a gutshot, which instantly hit on the 7♥ turn. The river was the 3♦ and KAITO123 headed to the rail with a bad beat story to tell.

Kanasuke had qualified for Day 2 with a shorter stack and earned an early double-up. Since he was moved tables multiple times, the stack had grown significantly and he also knocked out Ryo. The latter got it in for a shorter stack with the K♣6♣ and Kanasuke had an easy call holding the A♣A♦.
The A♠J♥3♠7♣ turn left Ryo drawing dead prior to the 7♠ river. With that elimination, all three players shown as Ryo in the official Day 2 seat draw have now been knocked out with fewer than 60 players in contention.

dogpapa got their stack of around 315,000 into the middle after he three-bet and then called all-in to the shove of Hamachiiii.
His A♦Q♣ was ahead versus A♣J♣ but a jack came in the window of the K♣J♠9♥ flop. The 3♥ turn and 4♥ river were blanks and dogpapa was sent to the doghouse - well, the payout desk.

Out of the big blind, ryota622 got his stack of 350,000 in after the J♦8♥2♥ flop and was up against the button with the 10♥9♥. His J♣2♣ had flopped top and bottom pair, which held thanks to the 10♠ turn and K♠ river.

Whittled down to a shorter stack, rf8mitu was all-in and ahead with K♣J♥ out of the blinds. Jon needed help with the J♣8♦ and got there on the 9♦8♠6♥3♠4♦ runout to reduce the field by one. rf8mitu had to settle for 66th place as the early carnage on Day 2 continues without a break.
