After Hau Yee Eric Yow limped in early position, Shannon Lee moved all in for 555,000 on the button to put herself at risk. Yow made the call.
Shannon Lee: A♠7♠ 
Hau Yee Eric Yow: 5♠5♦
The 7♦ was the window card followed by the 3♣ and Q♦. Yow picked up additional outs on the 6♦ turn with a flush draw and a gutshot, but the J♥ river was safe for Lee.
Level: 25
Blinds: 60,000/120,000
Ante: 120,000
Players have been sent on another 10-minute break and will return to blinds at 60,000/120,000 with a 120,000 big blind ante.
Lynn Samples raised to 200,000 in the hijack and Duster Ellis moved all in for 255,000 in the big blind to put himself at risk. Samples made the call.
Duster Ellis: A♣K♠
Lynn Samples: A♠J♥
Ellis pulled ahead further on the K♦8♠2♠ flop pairing his king, but Samples had the backdoor nut flush draw.
The 6♣ turn locked it up for Ellis and the 10♠ river completed the board.
Peter Clive opened the action with a raise from under the gun and it folded around to Patrick Lenihan in the big blind, who moved all in for 470,000 to put himself at risk. Clive thought for a moment before making the call.
Patrick Lenihan: K♣10♣
Peter Clive: K♦J♦
Both players paired their king on the K♥4♠6♦ flop, but Clive left Lenihan drawing dead on the J♠ turn. The meaningless A♦ completed the board and Lenihan was sent to the payout desk.

Broc Kuerzi was in late position and went heads-up to a flop of J♠3♥6♣ against Javier Urreiztieta in the cutoff. All the money ended up going in, with Kuerzi the one at risk.
Broc Kuerzi: J♥2♥
Javier Urreiztieta: 4♠4♣
Urreiztieta drilled the 4♥ on the turn to pull ahead but Kuerzi still had outs with a flush draw. The 8♦ river offered no help to Kuerzi, who was sent to the rail in brutal fashion.

As James Coyle walked into the tournament area at Palace Poker for Day 2 of the RunGood Poker Series Passport Dallas $360 PokerNews PowerStack back in March, he was not alone. His wife Dora Coyle was also a competitor looking to add to her own poker résumé.

“RunGood runs such a great series. We were hoping we could get them here,” Coyle, a Palace Poker Ambassador, said to PokerNews following his victory. “It’s a great piece of hardware. You gotta wear it for a couple of days, for sure.”
