Action was picked up preflop with William Smith all-in for 100,000 from middle position against Robert Burlacu on the dealer button.
William Smith: K♥J♦ 
Robert Burlacu: Q♦Q♣
The board 5♠10♥J♣4♣2x did not improve Smith's king-high, and he fell to Burlacu's pair of queens.
Ethan Yau raised the hijack and was three-bet by Taylor Black from the cutoff. Yau then four-bet shoved for over 500,000 and Black checked his cards before he quickly called.
Ethan Yau: A♠K♠
Taylor Black: K♥K♣
Yau needed to find the ace but it never happened as the runout of J♦7♣9♦9♣7♦ sent him to the rail as we approach the end of Day 2.
The board was completed to read 9♠K♣3♦9♥2♥. Krasimir Yankov bet 85,000. Ivan Deyra called after a few moments.
Yankov tabled the KxKx for the boat to gather the pot.
Action was picked up on the turn with a board of Q♣5♣3♣J♠
Brent Hart was all-in from the button, covering the remaining 330,000 from Brandon Allen in the big blind. Allen called and the cards were rolled over.
Brandon Allen: K♦K♠
Brent Hart: Q♠J♦
The river 4♣ did not improve Allen's pair of kings, and he fell to Hart's two pair.
The board read 4♦4♠K♠9♠ when Brian Rast bet 35,000 on the turn, and Andrew Ostapchenko called.
They both saw a bricky 2♣ land on the river and after Rast checked, Ostapchenko quickly checked back.
Rast flipped Q♠8♦ for just queen-high, but Ostapchenko tabled the winner with A♠10♥ for ace-high.
Erik Seidel's short stack was at risk preflop but was in good shape.
Erik Seidel: A♠A♣
Aaron Thomas: 3x3x
"Waiting for aces like a pro, huh, Erik?" said Thomas as the flop came 10xKx4x. The turn was a 5x, and the river the A♥ to confirm a double up for the ten-time bracelet winner.
Brian Rast had bet 80,000 on the turn with the board reading J♣6♦5♠A♠ into Alexandre Reard. After a short time, Reard shoved all in for 310,000, and Rast had a lot of thinking to do.
After four minutes of thinking, Rast still hadn't made a decision and told his tablemates they could call the clock if they wanted. One of them immediately called for it and Rast was given a 30-second countdown, which saw him fold with just five seconds to go.
Action folded all the way to Anthony Cierco in the small blind who just called. Moshe Refaelowitz in the big blind checked his option.
The flop fell 7♦9♥5♣ and Cierco check-called a bet of 20,000 from Refaelowitz.
The turn J♥ saw Cierco check-call another bet from Refaelowitz for 65,000.
The river came 2♥ and Cierco checked for a third time. Refaelowitz bet a large 185,000 wager and Cierco went deep into the tank before calling.
Refaelowitz revealed K♦8♦ for just king-high before Cierco showed 9♣4♣ for second pair and scooped a big pot.
