With the board reading 
, Vitaly Lunkin checked it over from the small blind to Noah Boeken on the button who fired 4,000 into the 15,000-chip pot. Lunkin made the call and the 
hit the river. Both players checked it down.
Lunkin opened 
for the jack-high flush which was good to take it down. Lunkin is up to 61,000 with Boeken having a rough start to the day as he slips to 57,000.
In a massive three-way all-in clash Albert Gardes, Ilkka Koskinen and Noah Schwartz all had their chips in preflop.
Koskinen: 
Schwartz: 
Gardes: 
A rather cruel cooler became a rather brutal beat as the board ran out 
to make Schwartz a full house, kings full of tens, to take it down and send two to the rail. Schwartz is now up to 120,000.
Vivek Rajkumar opened with a late-position raise, and Andrew Grimason moved all in for 31,200 from the big blind. Vivek quickly called, and the cards were on their backs:
Rajkumar: 
Grimason:
The flop was in Grimason's neighborhood as it came down 
to give him some hope with two cards to come. The turn 
wasn't a great card, though, and the 
river was a blank as well.
Grimason's day is done, and Vivek receives a chip increase up to 105,000.
On a flop of 
Tony Cousineau checked it over to Amnon Filippi on the button who fired his last 3,800. Cousineau made the call.

Cousineau:

on the turn changed nothing but the river was the to give Cousineau a Broadway straight to take it down. Filippi is sent to the rail as Cousineau is up to 40,000.
Men "The Master" Nguyen, Erick Lindgren, and Amnon Filippi have all just exited in near-unison, putting a quick end to their days of poker. At least there's still time to register for the 5 p.m. event.
We picked up the action on a 
flop with about 7,000 in the pot. David Benyamine and Eli Elezra checked, and Tom Dwan bet 3,600. Benyamine called and Elezra folded, and the two live players went heads up to the 
turn. It check-checked there, and Benyamine led out with 6,500 chips on the river. Dwan called.
Benyamine showed down 
and his ten-high straight was good for the pot. Dwan mucked, slipping to 99,000 in chips, while Benyamine moves up to 88,000 or so.
Catching the action on a flop of 
, Chau Giang fired a bet of 4,000 and found a call from Erica Schoenberg before Julian Gardner moved all in over the top. Giang called all in for his last 17,300 as Schoenberg stepped aside.
Giang: 
Gardner: 
Giang tabled top pair and flush draw as Gardner showed a smaller pair but a bigger flush draw. The turn was the 
and river the to improve Giang to a full house for the double up. He's up to 45,000.
Tom Dwan is off to a good start this morning after winning a nice pot against David Benyamine, however Dwan might be wishing it was a little bigger after Benymaine made a very solid river check.
In a battle of the blinds, Dwan had check-called 12,000 on the turn before checking the river on a board of . With the paired board, Benyamine checked behind with his -X-X for second-nut flush as Dwan revealed 
for the nut flush to take it down.
Dwan is up to 130,000 on what is a ridiculously tough table. If overnight chip leader Tony Paino thought he was in for an easy day today, he couldn't have been further from the truth as he's found himself seated with Dwan, Benyamine, Jeffrey Lisandro, Dave Baker and Eli Elezra.
It's a full house inside the Amazon Room today, but our players have found their way into their chairs, and the bags are open and the chips stacked. The dealers have been ordered into action, and Day 2 is under way.
