Watkinson Eliminated in Four-Way Pot
Four players built up a pot preflop that resulted in both Jerrod Ankenman and Lee Watkinson being all in. When the flop fell 
, the player in Seat 7 moved in for his last 9,000, Kyle Bowker called, and all the hands were turned up.
Showdown
| Ankenman |     |
| Seat 7 |     |
| Watkinson |     |
| Bowker |     |
The board completed with an 
on the turn and an inconsequential river, giving Seat 7 a straight for the side pot and half the main, while Ankenman laid claim to the low half of the main.
Bowker lost a bit in that pot, but he is still up considerably on the day. Meanwhile, Watkinson was eliminated from the tournament.

Some Images From Day 2
Matusow Slips Back
Mike Matusow recently lost a pot that started when Humberto Brenes opened up the action to 2,500 from early position. The player directly on his left made the call, along with Mike Matusow in the big blind. On the 
flop, Matusow and Brenes checked, while the other player bet 8,000. Matusow made the call and Brenes got out of the way.
Both players then checked the turn and a 
was dealt on the river. Matusow took his time to check, then quickly folded when his opponent shoved all in. Upon completion of the hand, Matusow asked the player, "Would you have called if i stuff the flop?"
"Yeah, but might have folded on the turn," the player replied as Matusow now sits with a stack of under 20,000.

Clemencon Calls Clock on Himself
"Clock on Table 363," we heard a dealer yell and made our way over. Upon our arrival we discovered Tristan Clemencon with about 11,000 out in front of him on a board reading 
. Bulent Karsli had an even bigger bet out in front of him, putting Clemencon to the ultimate test.
Clemencon had about 17,000 behind, and to call would cost him it all. He must have thought for awhile because he opted to call the clock on himself. The floor arrived and gave Clemencon thirty second to act as opposed to the standard minute because, as the floor said, "He called it on himself. He obviously wanted to finish the hand."
The floor then gave the ten-second countdown and by the time he got to one, Clemencon had not acted; as such, his hand was dead. Clemencon showed 
and wanted Karsli to show, but the latter mucked and simply said, "I had the ."

3/4 for Binger
On a flop of 
, Nick Binger got his last 15,500 all in against an unknown opponent and was in good shape with two pair.
Showdown
| Binger |  |
| Opponent |  |
The turn and river have Binger the high with his two pair, and both players had the same low, so Binger took half the low as well.
