It had been somewhat of a roller coaster ride for Ehsan Amiri on this short-lived Day 2 and he reached the money only to bust just shy of making the first pay jump.
Victor Chong opened to 100,000 on the button for Amiri to get the last 580,000 in and Chong quickly called.
Ehsan Amiri: K♥J♥
Victor Chong: Q♠Q♦
The 10♣7♦4♣5♠J♠ board kept Chong's pocket pair ahead all the way.

Brazil's Alisson Piekazewicz has to be feeling good about himself after making an epic hero call against one of the toughest opponents on the felt: Alex Foxen.
The bold play took place during Day 1A of the $8,000 Triton ONE Main Event on South Korea's Jeju island, the marquee attraction of the first-ever Triton ONE festival catering to the next generation of star poker players.
Small pairs are always tricky to play without making a set or better, but Piekazewicz had no trouble with pocket fours against the high-stakes pro with $51.4 million in Hendon Mob earnings. Piekazewicz is no slouch himself and has $2.1 million in live earnings, including a victory at European Poker Tour (EPT) Monte Carlo earlier this year that earned him $208,626.
Taiwan's Hsing-Hsiung Tai was chipped down to only 425,000 when he pushed all-in from an early position and Joshua McCully called in the next seat, all other players folded.
Hsing-Hsiung Tai: K♣J♣
Joshua McCully: A♠A♣
The Aussie's rockets stayed ahead on the 9♥6♠2♣7♣K♠ board and Tai bowed out in 151st place.

Ning Lu opened to 100,000 in the cutoff and Konstantin Held three-bet jammed for 1,300,000 in the small blind. Lu called with slightly more.
Konstantin Held: 7♠7♥
Ning Lu: 9♠9♥
"Show a seven," Held said after seeing he was dominated, which proved to be bad karma as the flop landed A♣9♣5♣ to give Lu a set.
Held ended up getting what he wanted as the board finished out 2♣7♦, but it wasn't enough to save him from elimination.
