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.
Aram Zobian raised the button and Patrick Liang called in the big blind. On the 10♥6♣3♥ flop, Liang check-called for 3,400 and did so again for 10,000 on the 7♣ turn.
The A♥ fell on the river and Liang checked again. Zobian bet 19,500 and Liang called for Zobian to declare a straight.
"Flush," Liang replied and tabled the 6♥2♥ to win the pot.
Action was on the river with the board reading J♥5♠Q♦9♣J♣. Nikolai Mamut bet 16,600 into a pot of roughly the same amount from the button. John Adderley was in the big blind and jammed all in to put Mamut to the test for his whole stack.
Mamut took several moments before he called.
Adderley tabled the J♦9♥ boat. Mamut got up and tossed over his beaten 10♦8♥ and hastily left the ballroom.
Arun Sriram opened the action with a raise to 2,000 from early position. Maxence Carbonneaux three-bet to 7,000 from the small blind and Sriram called.
Carbonneaux checked the 8♥K♣2♠ flop over to Sriram who bet 5,000. Carbonneaux called.
The turn Q♥ rolled off and action went check-check.
The river 4♣ came down and Carbonneaux sized-up big to 33,000. Sriram gave it a thought, paid it off, and saw he was chopping with his opponent. Carbonneaux had A♦K♦ and Sriram had A♥K♥.
Hundreds of late entrants have already shown up for Day 2d as the field continues to creep up to 10,000 players.
Action was picked up with cards on their backs with Barry Cleaver all in and at risk for his final 39,000 against Christopher Safaya.
Barry Cleaver: J♥J♠ 
Christopher Safaya: A♠K♦
The board ran out 8♠3♦4♠6♣K♠ and the river king pulled Safaya into the lead as he eliminated Cleaver from the tournament.
Louis Pito three-bet to 6,100 on the button before an opponent in early position four-bet to 16,800. Pito called and they saw a flop of 4♦8♠J♦.
The early-position player then bet 13,000 as Pito went deep into the tank, staring across the table at his opponent for several minutes. "Can I help you? I see you staring at me," his opponent said to him.
Another player at the table eventually called the clock and the countdown had barely begun before Pito moved all in. His opponent, with around 30,000 remaining, snap-folded.
In a three-way all-in, Joshua Parker was the shortest stack involved and tabled the 5♣5♥. He was up against Matthew Mich with the A♠A♦ and Frank Russo turned over the A♣J♠.
The board ran out 7♦3♠2♠J♣9♦ and Parker was eliminated while Mich more than doubled.
A player in early position opened up the action with a raise to 1,800. Tyler Spaugh moved all in for 19,500 in the hijack and Mark Kelly called from the small blind. The original raiser got out of the way and Spaugh found a good spot to double.
Tyler Spaugh: Q♠Q♣
Mark Kelly: 9♠9♣
The board ran out 9♦8♦3♠4♦5♥ and Kelly found a two-outer to crack Spaugh's ladies and send him packing.
