Day 2 Action

Dominykas Mikolaitis, who bagged the overall chip lead on Day 1, held strong near the top of the counts all day but felted in 13th place ($18,768) when his nut flush on the turn didn’t hold against Christopher Basile who rivered a full house. Israel’s pro Uri Reichenstein followed him in the payout desk not long after, ending in 10th Place for $23,358.

During ten hours of action-packed play, plenty of big name pros hit the rail along the way and WSOP bracelet winners such as Sam Grafton (127th for $4,009), Asi Moshe (123rd for $4,009), Mark Seif (96th for $4,385), Rafi Elharar (80th for $5,306) and Justin Liberto (72th for $5,716) were eliminated early on.

The recent champion of Event #20: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Flip & Go Presented by GGPoker, Dejuante Alexander, fell in 17th place for $12,678 before the last break of the night after he lost his last chips against Chang in an all-in preflop pot for a flip situation.

Romain Lewis, who went through many ups and downs during the day, didn’t manage to find a bag at the end of the day and got eliminated in 23rd place ($10,664).

The final eight will return on Friday, Oct. 23 at 12 p.m. in the Amazon room to resume Day 3. The players are all guaranteed at least $37,820 and they will battle it out to a winner who will take home $364,589 and the most coveted jewelry in poker.
