The action folded around to Alan Keating in late position, who opened to 2,200. He was called by the player in the blinds, before both saw the flop come down 
. Keating threw out a continuation bet of 3,500, after his opponent checked his option. The 
fell on the turn, and the player in the blinds check called another bet of 8,100. The 
completed the board, as Keating would face his third option following a check. He thought about his decision for a minute, before betting out 29,000. His opponent tanked for over a minute, before making the call.
Keating instantly mucked his hand, before his opponent tabled 
, scooping in the pot.
Randy Ohel opened to 2,200 from middle position, and Liv Boeree reraised to 5,500 on the button. Ohel came back with a four-bet to a little over 12,000, and Boeree made the call.
Ohel switched gears with a check on the 
flop, and Boeree checked behind him. The turn brought a 
, and Ohel checked again. Boeree thought for a bit before checking it back. Ohel finally decided to bet on the 
river, and Boeree called the 16,000. Ohel showed 
for top pair, top kicker, and Boeree patted the table in submission.
Action folded around to Ismael Bojang in the hijack, and he moved all in for his last 12,700. The next player to act tanked for a bit before cutting out raising chips. Bojang chuckled a bit as if to say he was in big trouble, and his opponent reraised to 25,500. Everyone else folded, and Bojang was indeed in big trouble.
Bjoang: 
Opponent: 
Bojang was in need of an ace to survive, but the hand was all but over when the flop came down 
. Bojang would now need runner runner to survive, and he got a piece of it when the 
hit the turn. Bojang was hoping for a five now, but the 
came on the river.
Despite exiting on Day 2, it was still a good series for Bojang, as he notched seven cashes and one final table.
Meanwhile, we saw on our walk back to our desk that Dan Cates, who came to his stack with 230,000, now has lesshalf of that, as he is stilling on 110,000.
We missed some of the preflop and flop action, but according to a player at the table, one player raised and he received three callers, including Tom Koral on the button.
The flop came down 
and the original raiser led out with a bet. Action folded around to Koral on the button and he poppep it up with a reraise. The original raiser called and the two players took the the 
on the turn. On the turn the original raiser led out with another bet, this time for 12,000. With the action back on Koral he reraised to 30,000. That drew a quick call from his opponent creating a pot of just about 90,000. The river was the and this time both players slowed down with a check.
The original raiser showed 
and that was enough to make Koral muck his hand, erasing most of the work that he had done to build his stack today.
There was over 25,000 in the middle when we arrived at Table 407. Octo-Niner Russell Thomas and Roger Brooks were heads up on a flop of 
, and Thomas fired out 15,000.
"All in," Brooks said the second Thomas' chips hit the felt.
"Call," Thomas said instantly.
Brooks: 
Thomas:
Thomas sighed at the sight of Brooks' hand, and the set of tens held up as the turn and river bricked , respectively. Brooks doubled to 130,000 chips, while Thomas slid to 56,000.
A player in the hijack raised to 2,100, and Lauren Kling called from the cutoff. Scott Seiver reraised to 8,000, and both players quickly folded.
We came to the table with the hand already in progress. Matusow led out for 3,500 on the 
flop and the player on the button raised to 9,000. Matusow made the call and the 
turn was dealt. Matusow checked to his opponent, who bet 15,000. After counting his chips and checking his cards, Matusow ended up folding to the betting pressure of his opponent.
Just as Level 9 was coming to a close, we came upon a huge hand developing between Greg Morris and Bjorn Li that saw the pair build a decent-sized pot by the 
river and Morris pushing out a bet of 45,000 from the hijack seat.
Li responded with an all-in shove from the button and Morris instantly called, tabling 
for the nut straight. Li had but for tens, and after the chips were counted down it was confirmed that Morris had Li outchipped and the latter hit the rail.
After Li left, the table couldn't help but remark on the hand, with Ronnie Bardah correctly pointing out that Morris was now sitting with one of the leading stacks. He also couldn't help but congratulate him on having an opponent shove into him while he held the nuts.
"What a party! What a fantasy!" said Bardah, to which Morris responded that he'd seen Li not wanting to let go of hands earlier after having committed chips, and thus had been searching for a spot just like the one he'd found.
