Board: 
We arrived at the table to find Chino Rheem all in against Shawn Buchanan. Buchanan was pondering a decision for quite some time before finally dropping chips in the middle and rolling over 
for a pair of queens. Rheem shot his hand at the muck and also flung forward his last lammer for his final 20,000-chip bullet.
We saw 2009 WSOP Main Event winner Joe Cada shaking his head while shipping a few stacks across the table.
Apparently Cada had connected with his 
after the board came 
, but his opponent's and a full house was too much for top pair to handle.
The board read 
when we came upon Faraz Jaka and AP Phahurat staring down at the felt. Jaka had bet 12,000 into a pot of about 18,000 and Phahurat replied by moving all in. Jaka had no lammers behind and about 20,000 sitting in his stack so this was a bet for his tournament life.
Jaka mulled over the decision for quite some time with Phahurat saying he'll show him one if Jaka folded his hand face up. Eventually, though, Jaka decided to call. Phahurat showed for top two pair. Jaka mucked his cards and Phahurat became the next player to advance to the third round of play.

After doubling his short stack with 
after spiking a queen, Negreanu was forced to move all-in with a marginal holding once more, and despite his 
being a notch better than his previous winner, a final board of 
left him with a second-best bottom pair.
