Arriving on a flop of 4♣9♠4♥, Nick Schulman went all in for 20,000 chips. Christopher DelGrande and Shiva Dudani then also got all of their chips in, with Dudani's stack of 124,000 being at risk.
Nick Schulman: A♠8♠6♥4♠
Shiva Dudani: J♥J♣9♥9♦
Christopher DelGrande: A♣10♣4♦3♥
Schulman and DelGrande had both flopped trips, but were drawing near-dead against Dudani's full house. The turn blanked out before the 9♣ river gave Dudani quads to rake in the pot in style, sending Schulman out.

Leonid Yanovski opened to 8,000 from middle position and was called by a player on the button. Arthur Morris then put in a three-bet to 35,000 out of the small blind only to see Yanovski move all in for 102,000. The button got out of the way while Morris made the call with the covering stack to put Yanovksi at risk.
Leonid Yanovski: A♣A♦Q♥10♦
Arthur Morris: A♠A♥J♦6♠
Both players had aces and remained tied on the 9♥5♣5♠ flop. The 3♠ turn, however, gave Morris a flush draw but the river bricked out 3♣ to ensure Yanovski's survival.
"You should have seen the look on your face on the turn" joked Morris as he stacked his share of the pot.

The chips went in between Eric Kolodny and his table neighbor, one of the many Day 2 entries, when the turn showed 10♦9♦7♦Q♦. Kolodny was behind with Q♣10♥10♣9♣ versus A♦K♠J♣9♥ but spiked the 9♠ on the river to score the knockout, which he celebrated quite vividly.

Jon Kyte was involved in a four-way limped pot on a board of 7♠6♠2♣. The action checked to Kyte on the button, who fired for 7,500.
Hieu Luu folded the small blind, as did Aaron Overton in the big blind, before the player under the gun called.
Kyte then placed 15,000 chips on the 4♦ turn, seeing the under-the-gun player quickly lay his hand down.

Picking up the action partway through the hand, Shannon Westbrook in the big blind was all in and at risk against Greg Levine from early position.
Shannon Westbrook: A♥A♦10♦5♣
Greg Levine: A♠A♣K♥7♣
Westbrook said he was willing to chop it up but the poker gods had other ideas as the board ran out J♦4♦8♥K♠9♦ to hand Westbrook the nut flush and full double.

The player in middle position raised to 10,500 and Nikita Kuznetsov made it 23,000 to go on the button. The payer in middle position called, leaving himself only a few chips behind.
They went in on the 4♥3♥2♦ flop, and the cards were tabled.
Middle position: 10♠9♠8♣7♣
Nikita Kuznetsov: K♥K♣J♣4♣
The 6♥ turn gave Kuznetsov's opponent some more outs, but the Q♦ river remained safe as Kuznetsov chipped up.
