Nicholas Schwarmann is Stacking Once More Here on Day 2
After Daniel Park opened to 12,000 from the button, Michael DeGilio three-bet to 32,000 from the small blind, and Nick Schwarmann flatted from the big. Park got out of the way, and the dealer fanned a flop of across the felt.
DeGilio check-called a bet of 55,000 from Schwarmann on the flop, and both players checked the on the turn. When the dropped in on the river, DeGilio checked once more, and Schwarmann fired away with a bet of 104,000.
Going into the tank for more than a minute, DeGilio eventually decided to look Schwarmann up, but he mucked when he saw the hit the table.

Jonathan D'Souza has offered his table mates the chance to see his cards anytime they ask.
We just saw Jared Jaffee open to 12,000 from under the gun and Myro Garcia make it 40,000 from his seat in the small blind. D'Souza was the big blind and he moved all in. Jaffee folded and Garcia's cards also hit the muck.
Garcia said something inaudible to D'Souza and D'Souza replied,

Jonathan D'Souza Showed Down the Goods Here at the Secondary Stage
Like all of the Brazillians who make deep runs here at the World Series of Poker, Myro Garcia has brought a whole host of friends and family along with him to show their support.
Garcia just gave his rail quite the show, although the hand did not go as well as he would have hoped.
The action was caught on the turn, with the board reading . Garcia fired a bet of 24,000 forward, and he called when Jonathan D'Souza popped it to 54,000. When the completed the board on the river, D'Souza led into Garcia with an all-in shove for 203,000.
That's when Garcia took full advantage of his prime spot along the secondary stage's elevated stands. With his supporters crowding around anxiously to watch him make this crucial decision, Garcia went for a deep dive into the tank, thinking things over for more than three minutes while the audience stirred in anticipation.
Eventually, Garcia released his hand with reluctance written across his face, and he looked towards D'Souza for any sign that he had been bluffed.
"Show one show all, right?" boomed D'Souza, as he held his hand up for the rail to see. "Are you happy now?"
When D'Souza's finally dropped to the felt, a smile cracked Garcia's pained visage, as he realized that his opponent was holding the goods all along.
Goran Filipovic has been eliminated in 11th place and wins $15,413 in prize money.

Both active players checked the river, DeGilio stating,

Lafosse called the 74,000 all-in bet of Justin Oliver, who held , and tabled the to put Oliver at risk.
Flop:
The perfect flop for Oliver left Lafosse looking for an ace, but the missed him on the turn. He did pick up a gutshot draw to the Broadway straight, but the on the river left him with the second best hand, and a micro-stack with which to attempt his comeback.
Shortly thereafter, Lafosse moved all in with , but John Juanda finished him off with on the board. Lafosse exited in 12th place, while Oliver was left to thank an appearance by his girlfriend Stephanie, and their hoodie-clad pooch Cha-Cha, for the sudden infusion of good fortune.
