David Salituro

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Heads-up on a board of A♦Q♥2♥3♥, Eric Welch bet 12,500 from early position before the small blind moved all in for 41,000. Welch took several minutes before calling to put his opponent at risk.

Welch had 8♥6♥ for a flush, while his opponent showed A♥Q♦ for top two pair and the nut flush draw. The river was the 7♦ and the small blind missed all of his outs as he headed to the rail with just a few minutes left in the day.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Tournament officials had just made an announcement congratulating players on making it to Day 2, but that proved to be a jinx for one player at Robin Jofre's table.

He moved all in for his last 13,000 from under the gun and Jofre called in middle position to put him at risk.

All-In Player: K♣9♦ All in
Robin Jofre: Q♦Q♥

The at-risk player was looking for help to stay alive, but the board ran out A♥9♣2♠2♦4♦ and they improved no further than their flopped pair of nines as Jofre sent him to the rail on the last hand of the night.
