Johan Guilbert has been picking up steam on Day 2, climbing up from 140,000 or 14 big blinds at the start of the day. He has been hovering around 10-20 big blinds for most of the day until this hand.
According to the players, action sarted with a raise from Patrick Crivell in the hijack, which Guilbert called on the button, as did Dinesh Alt in the big blind.
The flop was 10♠6♠A♠ and the big blind checked. Crivell continued for 70,000. Guilbert then pushed all-in, Alt folded and Crivell quickly called.
Johan Guilbert: A♥A♣
Patrick Crivell: 6x6x
Both players flopped a set and Guilbert's set of aces was way ahead. Crivell did not get help on the 7♣ turn or the 3♥ river.
A few hands later Crivell found himself all-in preflop against Brett Apter.
Patrick Crivell: A♦K♦
Brett Apter: J♥J♣
The board 6♣2♥3♣8♦7♠ was of no help to Crivell and he was eliminated.

Less than 30 minutes after surviving his all-in situation, which saw him triple up, [Removed:471] is making his presence felt.
Action picked up on the turn in a hand involving [Removed:526] and Joshua Wang, the Day 1 chip leader, with a pot of more than 400,000.
The board showed K♠2♠J♥3♠, and action fell on [Removed:526], who was in the small blind. [Removed:526] briefly paused before reaching into his chip stack to pull out three full barrels of 5,000 chips before moving them forward together in a single motion for a 300,000 bet.
The bet certainly got Wang’s attention, who leaned forward in his chair to stare at the board. Wang then folded and the pot was pushed to [Removed:526], who went over the 1,000,000 mark.
