and the action checked around to the

on the river.

What started as an innocent pot turned into about a 10-minute hand. David Peters completed from the small blind and Asi Moshe checked his options.
Moshe then bet on every street and Peters check-called 30,000 on the 
flop and another bet of about 60,000 on the turn.
The completed the board and Peters let Moshe fire one more time. Moshe made it 200,000 and Peters spent between two and three minutes before acting.
He counted his stack and eventually announced a raise to 499,000, leaving himself just 1,000 behind.
Then it was Moshe who switched to the tank-mode, thinking about the hand for over three minutes.
"Sorry guys. You can call time if you need to," Moshe apologized.
Then he took another 30 seconds or so and finally released his hand. "My friends are going to be pissed at me for folding this against you," Moshe said.
Peters, as always, remained stoic and sent his cards face down to the dealer. Then he quietly stacked his newly earned chips.

Chris Bolek was living on the short stack for a little while and finally found a spot to get the last of his 178,000 chips in the middle. Unfortunately for him, he was called by Jeremy Wien in the big blind who was in a dominating position.
Jeremy Wien:
Chris Bolek: 
The flop came 
which gave Bolek some chop outs, but the 
on the turn and the on the river were of no help. The Day 2 chipleader was eliminated in 14th place, taking home $21,655.

Simultaneously with Blair's double, Kenneth Smaron was at risk on the other table. He ran with

Michael Gagliano raised to 45,000 in the cutoff and Eric Blair moved all-in from the big blind.
"Count, please," Gagliano immediately declared his interest. The dealer confirmed that it was 320,000 and Gagliano called the 16-blind shove.
Eric Blair: 
Michael Gagliano:
Essentially in a coin toss, Blair's eight remained the winner as the 
didn't improve Gagliano's hand. Blair is now playing over 30 big blinds while Gagliano dropped below that mark.
