The player in the cutoff raised to 6,400 before the flop and Joseph Felder made the call from the button. The dealer flopped 
and both players opted to check. The turn card fell 
and again the cutoff decided to tap the table.
Felder would have none of it, however, and slid out a stack of chips worth 10,000. The prompted a quick fold by the cutoff and Felder padded his stack.

After everyone had folded around to Juha Villki on the button, he opted to raise and made it 6,000 for the blinds to see the flop. The small blind folded, but the Big Blind decided to reraise and was all in. Vilkki took his time decding if he wanted to call the extra 16,000. Vilkki made it clear his hand wasn't very strong and he had gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Vilkki convinced himself it wasn't much more and he made the call.
Cards were turned over and Vilkki was behind with his 
. His opponent held 
and had a slight lead going to the flop.
The three cards that came out were the 
giving Vilkki two pair right off the bat. A turn 
was no help to the Big Blind as his pair of queens trailed. A river 
put the last nail in the Big Blind's coffin and he was eliminated.

With the flop reading 
, a player in the cutoff position bet 12,000 and Timothy "T.K." Miles pushed a mountain of chips forward, indicating he was raising the pot. The cutoff insta-called for his tournament life and tabled 
for top pair and a flush draw. Miles revealed the 
for bottom two pair, fives and sixes, as well as a blocker with his own top pair and better kicker.
The cutoff would need to spike a jack or a club to take the lead, but the 
on the turn was a complete brick. The river missed him as well, coming 
to complete Miles' full house. He now sits with 180,000 chips and is becoming a force as Day 2 rolls onward.
After a raise to 4,700 from one opponent and a call by another, Sumanth Reddy came along as well and we were off to the flop. The dealer spread the 
across the table and the original raiser checked. The second opponent fired a bet of 7,500 into the pot and Reddy made the call. The original raiser folded his hand and the fell on the turn.
Reddy's opponent slid two stacks into the middle for a bet of 19,000 chips and Reddy instantly announced "All-in." This move prompted his opponent to shake his head in bewilderment and he began asking Reddy what he held. With no answer forthcoming, the opponent glumly mucked his cards and Reddy climbed to approximately 135,000 after the win.

We caught the action on the turn with Evan Snow all-in for his tournament life. The board read 
and Snow was called by one opponent.
Showdown:
Snow: 
Opponent: 
Snow had turned the nut straight and had a redraw to a flush, while his opponent had made two pair, nines and sixes. The opponent had outs to a chop as well, but was looking for sixes or nines on the river to fill up and eliminate Snow. Snow casually said "Ace..." while the dealer burned and turned, hoping to see a safe card show up on the river.
River: 
Snow's wish had come true and he said "See, it's that easy, just call for it and it comes" while he began stacking his newly earned chips. He now sits with a stack of around 55,000 chips.
After a series of bets Nick Binger had his opponent all in on a 
flop. Binger declared "i'm not in great shape" and flipped over his cards.
Binger: 
Opponent: 
Binger was in bad shape as his opponent not only had a pair of aces but was also drawing to a nut flush. The next two cards were fairly irrelevant as they came out 
. Binger lost around 50,000 chips that hand.
