Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Yoon Choi was already all in on the button for his remaining stack against Michael Whitton, who was in the cutoff, on a completed board of J♦J♥9♣Q♥K♠.

Whitton turned over J♠J♣ for quads and Choi tabled Q♦Q♠ for a turned full house, which got a collective, "Wow," from his tablemates as the pot was sent Whitton's way.

Robert Cowen was seen getting up from his table as he had been eliminated early on Day 2.

His Ax10x had gone up in flames against the AxKx of Bradley Howard as a king hit the flop to effectively end things for Cowen right then.

David Salituro

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Around 35,000 was already in the pot as Philip Boyd and an opponent saw the turn on a board of 3♠3♦5♣2♦.

Boyd's opponent bet 13,000 from the cutoff before Boyd raised to 50,000 in middle position. The cutoff quickly called for his last 38,200 with 10♥10♦, but Boyd had 5♥5♠ for a flopped full house.

The river was the 9♦ and Boyd took the pot to send his opponent to the rail.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

David Marshall raised to 1,800 in middle position before Luis Rodas moved all in for around 25,000 in the cutoff. Marshall quickly called once action folded back to him.

Luis Rodas: J♥J♣ All in
David Marshall: A♠K♠

Rodas needed to win the coin flip to stay alive, but the 9♠8♣K♥ flop gave Marshall top pair and the lead. The rest of the board ran out 7♥3♠ to end Rodas' Main Event.

After the hand, Rodas handed table neighbor Tom Dwan, who had only just taken his seat at this table, a miniature waving cat figurine as a parting gift.

Action folded around to the blinds, where Phil Ivey raised to 3,000 from the small blind and Ankit Ahuja three-bet to 10,500 from the big blind.

Ivey stuck in enough chips to put Ahuja all in for approximately 100,000 total and Ahuja called to put himself at risk.

Ankit Ahuja: J♠J♣ All in
Phil Ivey: A♠A♥

Ahuja found himself in a bit of a cooler in the blind-versus-blind confrontation, and the K♣8♣Q♠4♦8♥ runout bricked out for Ahuja to send his chips Ivey's way.
