As the clock slowly ticks down, players seem to be locking down. At this point, most are exhausted and seem content to try to come back tomorrow. There are 24 minutes left in the level before we'll call it a night.
While the action remains unknown, we do know that Dominic Fosco just doubled through Erik Roussakis. From what we could piece together, the latter attempted to bluff with 
on a 
flop. Unfortunately for him, Fosco held 
for flopped quads!

Jonathan Job raised to 90,000 from the cutoff only to have Shawn Quinn three-bet to 225,000 from the small blind. The big blind got out of the way, and Job decided to make the call. Quinn continued his aggression with a bet of 250,000 on the 
flop, and Job responded by moving all in for 755,000 total. Quinn snap-called and discovered the bad news.
Showdown
Quinn:
Job: 
"How do you do it?" asked a player at the table.
"Just stick it in and get lucky," replied Job. Meanwhile, Quinn was looking to hit an ace to take back the lead. Unfortunately for him, neither the 
turn nor river were what he was looking for. He was left with just 205,000 while Job doubled to close to 2,000,000.

Play has wrapped for Day 2 of the WSOPC Hammond Main Event and after fourteen long hours and twelve levels of play. Twenty players remain from the 342 that started the day and Eric Crain is the chipleader with 4,480,000, leading the field by a wide margin.
Also in the hunt for a WSOPC Main Event ring are Mark “P0ker H0” Kroon (1,600,000), Aaron Steury (3,005,000), Luther Lewis (2,895,000) and Joe Hebda (2,540,000).
Notables that didn’t survive the day were Chad Brown, Dwyte Pilgrim, “The Captain” Tom Franklin, Mohsin Charania, Brandon Hall, Josh Brikis, Kenny Nguyen, “Cowboy” John Land, Aaron Bieck, Joel Merwick and Nadya Magnus.
At the start of the day, eliminations were fast and furious as short stacks were looking to double up or go home. The field reached the money in only the fourth level of the day and hand-for-hand play was not needed, as two players busted very close to each other.
Crain spent the day going through wild swings. In one 20-minute span he doubled up, lost half his stack in back-to-back hands, and then doubled up again. He spent a good portion of the day sparring with Kroon but made a late surge to distance himself from the pack.
Kroon ran well for most the day, performing poker more than playing poker. He Hollywooded on one hand in particular where after his opponent moved all in on an all diamond flop he stood up, walked around and announced "All in" a good ten feet from the table. After his opponent folded he showed that he flopped the nut flush.
The rate of bustouts following the dinner break was incredible – approximately one player every two minutes were making their way to the payout desk. The short stacks had no problem sticking it in with hopes of doubling up due to a couple of pay jumps in the payouts and steeper blinds.
Day 3 will get cards in the air promptly at 2:00 p.m. CST. Be sure to follow all the WSOPC action live on Pokernews.com and watch the live streaming final table at WSOP.com.
