Shavarsh Pirijanian Eliminated

Jim Miller raised to 4,700 from late position, Shavarsh Pirijanian moved all in for 6,700 and Miller called.

Pirijanian {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}

Miller {Q-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {K-Spades} {8-Clubs} and Miller rivered a pair of eights to eliminate Pirijanian.

Michael Sanderson Eliminated

Michael Sanderson moved all in from under the gun for his last 7,600. Jim Miller called from the cutoff seat. The players showed:

Sanderson: {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}
Miller: {Q-Diamonds} {J-Spades}

The community cards hit both players as they came {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {K-Clubs}. Sanderson made two pair but Miller's Broadway straight was the nuts. Sanderson was eliminated and Miller chips up to just over 39,000.

Jeffrey Milkey Eliminated by Phil Hellmuth

Anthony Harb opened for a raise from the cutoff, Jeffrey Milkey moved all in for 16,000 from the button, Phil Hellmuth moved all in over the top from the big blind, and Harb folded.

Milkey {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts}

Hellmuth {A-Clubs} {K-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Hearts} {8-Spades} {3-Hearts} {J-Spades} {9-Clubs} and Hellmuth's hand held up to eliminate Milkey from the tournament.

Joseph Bagyansky Eliminated

With less than 3,000 chips and most of them committed in the big blind, Joseph Bagyansky called the all in raise of Gary Herstein. The players showed:

Bagyansky: {10-Clubs} {5-Clubs}
Herstein: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}

Bagyansky's outlook for survival went from bad to worse when the flop fell {Q-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {5-Spades}. The turn and river came the {2-Diamonds} and {2-Clubs} respectively and Herstein's boat was more than enough to send Bagyansky home early.

Frank Placania Doubles Through Donny Carlton

Donny Carlton, who finished Day 1 second in chips just took quite a hit.

Glen Bean raised to 4,000 from the cutoff, Phil Hellmuth folded the button, Donny Carlton moved all in for over 100,000 from the small blind, Frank Placanica called all in for 37,700 from the big blind and Bean got out of the way.

Placanica {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}

Carlton {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {9-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} and Placanica doubled up.

Brian Suttle raised to 5,000 from the cutoff, Faraz Jaka raised to 13,500 from the button, Suttle moved all in for 27,300 and Jaka called.

Jaka {6-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}

Suttle {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}

The board ran out {A-Spades} {10-Spades} {9-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {J-Hearts} and Suttle doubled to 85,000 with his pocket kings while Jaka was left with only 3,200.

On the next hand, Jaka moved all in and Hamed 'Tony' Cholagh looked him up from the big blind. Though Jaka was ahead with {A-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} to Cholagh's {J-Clubs} {9-Hearts} , a jack hit the flop, Jaka could not improve, and he hit the rail.
