Tae Hoon Chang: A♣A♥ All in
Jordan Spurlin: J♥J♠ All in

Eliminations are fast at the start of Day 2 and Main Event champ Ryan Riess was among the earliest knockouts.

Cameron Bolton: 4♠4♣All in
Ryan Riess: A♠K♠All in
Ronald Sims: A♥A♣

The board was 9♥3♦8♥7♥6♠, no help to either all-in player. They were out, while Sims has managed to build a very nice stack early on.

Mario Colavita raised from the button to 50,000 and this cascaded into a major action pot where Jason Mitchell three-bet all in for 260,000 and two-time bracelet winner Barry Shulman four-bet all in for 390,000.

Colavita was put to a decision and he struggled with it, but made the fold and stated that he had ace-ten, which was the same hand as Mitchell.

Jason Mitchell: A♦10♣ All in
Barry Shulman: A♣Q♣

The board ran out with 7♣5♦2♠A♥6♥ and Shulman's kicker played for the win with the pair of aces.

Colavita was relieved he folded.
