Phil Hellmuth limped in from the button and Guofeng Wang made it 12,000 to go in the small blind. Hellmuth made the call, and called off his final 16,000 chips on the J♣J♦6♠ flop.
Phil Hellmuth: Q♠10♥9♥8♦ 
Guofeng Wang: K♥K♣10♣4♦
The Q♥ turn gave Hellmuth outs, but Wang's kings held on the 4♥ river as he eliminated the 17-time bracelet winner.
Eric Liu raised to 15,000 on the button for Shawn Stroke to call in the small blind. Stroke check-called the Q♥7♣3♥ flop for 12,000 and then led the 6♦ turn for 15,000. Liu moved all-in with his short stack and Stroke folded.
William Stanford was all-in preflop with a stack of 55,000 and Shiva Dudani looked him up with the far bigger stack.
William Stanford: K♠K♥Q♦2♥
Shida Dudani: A♥Q♥Q♣5♥
The board ran out A♦5♠4♥9♣6♦ and the kings were cracked to further increase Dudani's stack early on Day 2.
Picking up the action on the river, Krzysztof Magott from under the gun was involved in a hand with Nikita Kuznetsov in the big blind.
With the board reading 6♥4♥6♦A♣9♠ Kuznetsov bet 55,000. Magott responded by moving all in for 125,500. That sent Kuznetsov deep into the tank as he appeared to be considering laying down a big hand. Eventually, the clock was called on Kuznetsov but before the floor person even reached the table, he made the call. "You got aces?" he asked and was indeed shown the bad news by Magott, who tabled A♦A♥9♣2♣ for the turned boat to scoop a full double.
At another table, Phil Hellmuth was seen taking his seat.
Caleb Furth and Jonathan Bowers were involved in a side pot on a flop of K♥4♣Q♣, with a third player already all in preflop. Bowers, in the hijack, then checked to Furth on the button, and the latter fired a bet of 30,000.
Furth quickly folded, leaving his opponents to show down.
All-in player: 10♥10♣9♣4♠
Caleb Furth: K♣K♦6♠4♥
The all-in player needed to hit a flush or straight to stay alive, but he failed to so as the 3♠7♥ runout remained harmless for Furth to take the pot.
On another table, Gary Benson had been eliminated from the tournament.
The seat of Eran Carmi was empty and Filippos Stavrakis recalled that he had taken all of the chips of his table neighbour in two big pots. Stavrakis first hit quads and believed that Carmi was claiming to have had a full house. The second clash was even worse when Stavrakis in the big blind flopped a full house with eight-deuce and improved to eights full of deuces on the river while Carmi had deuces full of aces.
Dante Goya opened his button, Rakan Abusaleh three-bet to 35,000 in the big blind, and Goya called.
On the 5♣5♥K♣ flop, Abusaleh continued for 20,000 chips, after which Goya jammed all in for around 80,000. Abusaleh instantly released his cards and the pot was shipped to Goya.
Sami Hamid got his short stack in after the 10♥7♣3♣ flop with the A♠A♦Q♥8♦. He was up against the K♣K♠10♠7♠ of Tomer Daniel and the flopped two pair held on the 8♠ turn as well as J♥ river runout.
