A player in middle position raised the hand to 90,000. Joel Gray in the hijack responded with a three-bet jam to 485,000. The player in the big blind was already all in for their remaining 45,000, putting the original raiser to a decision for a potential double bounty. With an easy snap-call, all three hands were on their backs.
Big Blind: 9♣6♦
Joel Gray: 7♠7♣
Middle Position: A♠K♣
As the flop came 5♦K♠3♣ seemingly sealing the conclusion of this hand, the turn peeled the Q♠ and the river came the 7♣, one of the two outs Gray needed to win this hand.
"There we go! The river one time!" Gray yelled as he returned to his seat.

PokerNews caught up with Stanley Lee who gave us the breakdown of a huge pot early in Day 2.
Lee opened the action from middle position to 90,000 and Nathanael Kogel put in the cold three-bet out of the blinds to 330,000.
Lee called and they were off to a Ax10x4x flop. Kogel continued for 220,000 and Lee called once again.
The 3x hit the turn and Kogel took his time before jamming for just over 1,000,000 chips. Lee snap called and the cards were on their backs.
Lee had Kogel drawing dead holding a set of tens and Kogel showed Ax7x for just top pair. The river was irrelevant and Kogel hit the rail.

Georgios Sotiropoulos limped from middle position before the player on the button made it 145,000 to go. The blinds got out of the way to send the action back to Sotiropoulos, who made the call to see a flop.
Sotiropoulos checked following the 5♣4♦6♠ flop and then called after his opponent continued for 125,000.
Action checked through the 8♥ turn to the Q♦ river at which point Sotiropoulos checked once more. The button pushed a stack of chips totaling 280,000 into the pot and, after some thought, Sotiropoulos decided to find a better spot, mucking his holding.

The face of a champion?!?! I'd say yes! Go Herb! Day 2 of Mystery Millions! #LFG #WSOP https://t.co/zDXENlurK0
— Trek to the Main (@trektothemain)
The player under the gun raised to 120,000, Joao Valli, seated directly on their left, called and both the players in middle position and the big blind came along to a board of 6♠10♦A♥.
It was checked to the original raiser, who continued for 175,000. After some time in the tank, Valli opted to raise to 450,000. All remaining players folded. This included the under-the-gun player who spent many minutes in the tank rechecking his cards before folding the A♣ face up.

Five more envelopes have been pulled from the chest and they were all worth $25,000.
The following players were the lucky ones:
A player opened to 100,000 in middle position and was called by Chris Hunichen in late position. The player in the cutoff then moved all in, with the button, blinds and original raiser all getting out of the way. Hunichen quickly called with the covering stack to put his opponent at risk.
Cutoff: QxQx
Chris Hunichen: A♦Q♠
Though at risk, the cutoff was well ahead of Hunichen and remained so on the 10♣5♥K♣ flop and 4♥ turn. The J♦ river, however, improved Hunichen to Broadway, allowing him to claim the pot and bounty.
