Kane Kalas called the 6,000 big blind, and Kevin Rabichow went all-in for 106,000. After taking a few seconds to contemplate, Kalas made the call and put Rabichow at risk.
Kevin Rabichow K♥Q♦ 
Kane Kalas A♦6♥
The flop of 5♥4♠2♠ didn't bring any backdoor outs for Rabichow, and the 7♦ on the turn left him needing a king or queen to stay alive. The A♠ on the river gave Kalas a pair of aces, and officially eliminated Rabichow from the tournament.
Kalas will play Owen Messere in round 3 when play resumes tomorrow.

As action picked up on the turn with 37,000 in the pot, Sam Soverel was facing a bet of 26,000 from Alex Keating, when Soverel decided to raise all in on a 8♦J♦6♣7♥ board. After doing a quick count of his stack, Keating made the call.
Alex Keating A♦J♦
Sam Soverel J♥9♣
Soverel had top pair and an open ended straight draw but would need to improve on the river to knockout Keating. The board was completed with the 10♣ on the river, giving Keating the double up with his top pair, top kicker, and back within striking distance of Soverel, raking in the 279,000 chip pot.

The K♣ completed the board and Shi shoved for 84,900 total. Mamut used up three time extensions, but opted to put in a call.
Shi turned over 9♦2♦ for trip deuces, which was best against Mamut for the double-up.
At another table, Ian Matakis was eliminated by Darius Samual.

With only 30,000 chips remaining, Matthew Higgins raised all-in and James Gorham in the big blind called.
Matthew Higgins K♥8♣
James Gorham 2♥2♠
The flop was no help for Higgins when it ran out 6♥5♣3♣, however the 9♠ turn did give Higgins some extra outs. Now being able to hit a seven for a straight, to go along with a king or an eight. Unfortunately for Higgins, the river was the 10♥, and the deuces held for Gorham, and he eliminated Higgins from the tournament.
Gorham will face the winner of the Michael Shi and Nikolai Mamut match, tomorrow in round three.
