Heads-up on a flop of 7♥2♠3♦, Griffin Stanton bet 8,000 from under the gun and Marcelo Santos called in middle position.
Both players checked the 2♣ turn. The river was the 8♠ and Stanton bet another 6,000.
Santos then raised to 15,000 and Stanton quickly called. Santos turned over A♦A♠ and Stanton mucked.
Samvel Gspoyan opened the action with a raise to 1,700 from the hijack. Sasha Sabbaghian three-bet to 5,600 in the cutoff and Gspoyan called.
Sabbaghian continued for 3,800 on a connected 9♥J♠3♠ flop and Gspoyan made the call.
The turn 7♦ went check-check before the river 10♣ hit the felt bringing in more straight draws. Gspoyan put out a bet of 8,100 but Sabbaghian snap-folded and was left as the table short stack.
The 2021 Main Event second-place finisher George Holmes started the day with a shorter stack and he was involved in a three-way hand with two other shorter stacks as they all saw the flop of Q♣2♦J♣.
Holmes led for 3,700 from the big blind. Laurent Cessy folded, leaving himself less than ten big blinds and Christine Ramello also folded to give Holmes a modest pot as he looks to spin it up on Day 2.
Three ways to the Q♥7♠5♥ flop, Cesar Rainero checked and Mark Jun bet 4,000. Yoon Kang called from the next seat and Rainero folded. Both players knuckled the felt on the 8♦ turn and J♦ river to see Kang table the A♦7♦ as the winning hand, further building his large stack to begin with.
Eric Ahn raised the button to 2,000 and Maxime Chilaud three-bet from the big blind to 6,900, Ahn called.
On the Q♥8♥A♣ flop, Chilaud continued for 3,600, and Ahn called.
Both players decided to check the 7♠ turn to see a K♥ land on the river. Chilaud fired 13,800, which Ahn called after some consideration.
Chilaud tabled K♠Q♠ for two pair, and Ahn mucked.
Tracey Rudd from early position to 1,700, before Landon Tice in middle position three-bet to 5,000. After it folded back to Rudd, she made the call.
The flop came 4♦A♠3♠ and Rudd check-called the bet of 3,000 from Tice.
Both players checked the Q♦ turn and J♥ river.
Rudd showed down 10x10x but Tice had the winner with A♦9♦ for top pair.
David Whitehouce was in the small blind and had a raise of 6,000 in front of him before Rafael Reis reraised to 14,000 in the cutoff. Whitehouce then moved all in and Reis snap-called for 50,700.
Rafael Reis: A♥A♣ 
David Whitehouce: K♥K♠
Whitehouce barely had Harel covered and didn't catch any miracles on the J♦5♣7♦7♥3♦ as Reis doubled up, dropping Whitehouce to a short stack early on Day 2.
Action was picked up in a pot where Stanley Lee defended his big blind versus an under the gun open from Hedi Boussetta.
The flop read 10♣10♠7♠ and Lee checked over to Boussetta who bet 1,000. Lee raised to 3,000 and Boussetta wasted little time in calling.
On the turn 3♠, Lee sized up to 5,400 which saw Boussetta quickly release his hand into the muck.
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.
