Aaron Pinson, who had a massive $900,000, score from a runner up in the WPT Prime last December has been in another grueling heads up battle against Noel Eicher.
Eicher is coming off a runner up, just six days prior to this in an $1,100 tournament at the Wynn for $39,409.
The pair have yet to play a big pot as they dance back and forth. They are one of the five remaining tables playing down to a winner.
Kfir Nahum had opened the button and Alexander Farahi three-bet to 175,000. Nahum called.
The action was checked all the way to showdown on the J♦10♥8♥2♣8♣ runout and Farahi tabled A♥Q♣ for ace-high. Nahum mucked.
After the hand, the two players were talking on Nahum mentioned that he had a pair in his hand, to which Farahi responded that he only had ace-high.
"I thought you had a straight" said Nahum.
"Are you joking?" replied Farahi.
Nahum was visibily angry at himself but regardless, the chips belonged to Farahi who now holds a two-to-one chip advantage over his opponent.
Sriharsha Doddapaneni shoved all in for around 700,000 on the river when the board was 5♥8♣Q♦A♦J♦.
Daniel Strelitz sat on the decision, but eventually made the call that could take him through to Day 3.
The players showed their hands and Doddapaneni stood while he flipped over 6♠4♦ knowing that Strelitz likely had him beat.
Strelitz showed Q♣6♥ for a pair of queens to win the heads-up match, which had lasted "forever" according to a spectator.
Vitor Dzivielevski shoved all in and Akinobu Maeda called off his tiny stack of chips.
Akinobu Maeda: J♣7♥ 
Vitor Dzivielevski: K♥7♣
Maeda found himself dominated and couldn't catch up as the A♠8♦5♣8♣A♥ runout meant he was eliminated and Dzivielevski advanced to Day 3.
Jeremy Ausmus had a significant lead over Andy Miller. Miller has been steadily playing his game and when he finally did get short enough to move all in for his final 210,000, Ausmus made the call.
Andy Miller: 3♠4♦
Jeremy Ausmus: K♣6♥
It was quite the dramatic flop that fell, J♣3♣4♣, giving two pair to Miller and a flush draw for Ausmus.
The turn brought the 5♦ giving Ausmus a straight draw to go with his flush draw but the Q♠ awarded the pot to Miller.
That didn't last long though as Miller was seen exiting the tournament shortly after and Ausmus advanced.
On a board of 5♠2♥2♣8♠, Vitor Dzivielevski bet 200,000 on the turn and Akinobu Maeda called.
The river was a 2♠ which Dzivielevski checked, Maeda bet 150,000, and Dzivielevski shoved all in. Maeda went into the tank but after some consideration, he flicked in the call.
Dzivielevski showed A♠2♦ for quads which left Maeda with just 50,000 chips.
The board read 3♣2♣4♣4♠K♣ and with 200,000 chips in the pot, Sriharsha Doddapaneni bet 110,000 on the river. Daniel Strelitz then raised to 275,000, and after some time thinking, Doddapaneni called.
Strelitz flipped over A♣9♠ for the nut flush and took the pot.
