A 5♦ showed up on the river and Loosli checked. Riesenberg checked as well and mucked his cards after Loosli revealed K♦9♦ for the flush.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Joel Shulruf raised in middle position to 1,800 and got called by Armando Caldera in the cutoff as well as Ronald Cook and Greg Buonocore in the blinds.

The quartet checked all the way through the board Q♦7♠7♥3♣ and a 6♥ landed on the river. It checked again to Caldera, who then decided to bet 13,000. It was enough to get a fold from his opponents and grab the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Rytis Strigunas had a three-bet of 6,500 in front of him from middle position before Mark Jackson, in early position, reraised to 20,000. Strigunas then moved all in for 62,500 and Jackson snap-called.

Rytis Strigunas: A♦A♠
Mark Jackson: K♦K♣

It was a classic cooler early on Day 2 and Jackson didn't find any miracles on the 5♦4♥Q♦9♣8♥ board, so Strigunas doubled up.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Mark Teltscher raised from the cutoff before Hai-Chi Ho made it 6,800 to go from the small blind. Only Teltscher called and the two went off to a flop.

The 9♥6♣9♠ flop checked through before Ho bet out 7,000 on the 7♥ turn. Teltscher called and the 5♥ river completed the board.

Ho checked again and Teltscher opted to bet 12,000 chips. Ho raised it up to 36,000 and Teltscher swiftly called.

Ho could only show ace-high with his A♦K♣, while Teltscher was sitting pretty on the flush with A♥Q♥. Ho lost some of his big stack early on while Teltscher chipped up nicely.

In a heads-up pot with close to 6,000 in the middle on a flop showing K♣Q♦10♥, a player in early position bet out 3,000 and Johnny Chan made the call on the button.

The turn came the 2♥ and the early position player bet again, this time for 4,000. Chan took a few seconds before announcing a raise to 10,000. His opponent pondered their option for a moment, but in the end folded and the pot was sent to Chan.

Samuel Gagnon raised it up from middle position and was called by Brandt Atkins on his left along with the big blind. The flop fell J♦10♦6♠ and Gagnon continued with a bet of 2,000. Atkins raised to 4,600 which got the big blind out but Gagnon still called.

The turn was the 8♥ and both players checked to the 4♣ on the river. Gagnon put together a bet of 17,000 on the river and Atkins flicked in a chip to call. Gagnon rolled over A♠J♠ for top pair and Atkins mucked his cards.

Action was picked up on the river in a massive pot between Kenta Fukuhara in the hijack and Cole Ferraro in late position.

With 61,200 in the middle and a board reading A♥4♥5♥2♦7♦, Ferraro bet 5,000 which saw Fukuhara raise to 11,000.

Ferraro rechecked his hand before tossing in the chip to call and Fukuhara turned over A♠7♠ for top two. It was rendered second best as Ferraro turned over 4♣4♠ for a set of fours and the young bracelet winner took down the pot.
