Among them was Jason Lee, who three-bet jammed on the button for 36,500 and was called by the initial raiser Sam Grafton.
Jason Lee: 
Sam Grafton: 
The 
flop left Lee in need of running cards and he got one of them on the 
turn. However, the 
river was a blank and Grafton raked in the pot.
In a battle of the shorter stacks, Matthew Donlan lost the remainder of his stack with 
against the 
of David Docherty. The board ran out 
and there was no help for the ace-queen.
Shortly after, Dan Wagner vanished from one table over. After his early double up, he then lost some chips before shipping all of it over by one seat as Mauricio Ferreira Pais was spotted raking in plenty of chips.
Fast forward back to Docherty's table, he defended the big blind and then got it in with the

turn as well as the 
river were no threat for the aces.
Once upon a coin flip, there was a classic race between Alex Goulder with the

The 
runout brought no help to Afek and he joined the early casualties on Day 2.
The first batch of casualties included Sylvain Loosli and Kevin Allen, among others. For Allen, the end came in a preflop contest with against the 
of Vishal Maini. The 
board failed to improve Allen and the field was reduced to the final 120 players.

turn and Sitbon checked. Pavlov then bet 32,000 only for Sitbon to check-raise, making it 105,000 to go. That sent Pavlov deep into the tank but nobody called the clock on him, which he then inquired about himself.
The thirty seconds ran down and Pavlov's hand was dead, Sitbon had previously offered to show one card and revealed the .
Jack O'Neill was eliminated by Paul Simmons but had some slightly better news shortly thereafter as his £2,200 High Roller trophy was delivered to the poker room.

Solomons got excited when the first community card was the but it was followed by the 
. However, the fell on the turn and the 
river confirmed his double up for 85,000.
"Guess he was in a hurry," someone at the table said after Stephen Kehoe had literally busted in the first hand. The Irishman was all-in preflop with the and looked up by the even-stacked Efstathios Bantounos with the . Neither player connected with the 
and that spelled the end for Kehoe.
