Rhett Van Leeuwen raised from the cut off to 25,000 and Pengfei Wang moved all in from the big blind for approximately 150,000.
Van Leeuwen called.
Pengfei Wang: Q♣K♥ 
Rhett Van Leeuwen: A♠10♠
The flop came 9♦3♥5♣ and it looked like Wang was going to be sent to the rail.
The turn brought the 8♦ but then the K♦ fell on the river which saved Wang and gave him a double up.
David Stefanski was all in preflop and at risk against Ian Gavlick in a classic coin flip situation.
David Stefanski: 8♦8♥
Ian Gavlick: K♦Q♦
The flop came 7♠5♥6♠ with Stefanski's pair of eights still in the lead. That was until Gavlick pulled ahead on the Q♥ turn, pairing his queen.
The river landed the 9♥ and Stefanski improved to a straight to earn the much needed double up.
Pablo Ching raised in the cutoff to 25,000, Johnny Bromberg three-bet to 125,000 from the big blind, Ching called.
Action went check-check when the flop came A♠2♣2♥, Bromberg bet 60,000 when the 8♥ hit the turn, Ching called.
Bromberg decided to bet 150,000 when the 2♦ fell on the river. Ching when deep into the tank before he eventually called and Bromberg tabled A♦4♥ for the full house and he scooped the pot.
With around 80,000 already in the pot and the board reading 9♥9♣7♠10♠, Shenmolesky, in the big blind, led out with a bet of 30,000. Firestone on the button didn’t take long to call and the two went to the river.
The 6♦ completed the board, and Shenmolesky kept up the pressure with a sizable bet of 100,000. Firestone took a brief pause before coming over the top with a raise to 350,000. The pressure was too much, Shenmolesky quickly let it go.
Mikhail Zavoloka raised to 25,000 in the cutoff and was three-bet by Eshaan Bhalla on the button to 80,000. Pierre-Alexandre Lessard then cold four-bet shoved for about 300,000 in the small blind. Zavoloka folded and Bhalla made the call.
Pierre-Alexandre Lessard: J♠9♠
Eshaan Bhalla: A♥K♥
Bhalla's ace-high remained best as the board ran out 4♣6♦3♠8♦5♠ and Lessard was sent to the rail.
Jesse Sylvia didn't want to make an all-in bet, so he held on to a single 1,000 chip. Mauro Francolini showed his hand because he thought it was an all-in situation, so Sylvia decided to toss in his last chip.
Jesse Sylvia: A♥J♣
Mauro Francolini: A♦3♣
When the cards rolled out 2♣3♠A♣7♥10♥, the dominated hand got the better of it and Sylvia was out of the tournament.
Tyler Johnson raised from under the gun to 25,000, and Martin Kabrhel called from the small blind.
The flop came 4♠7♠2♥, and Kabrhel check-called Johnson's 12,000 continuation-bet.
The turn brought the 4♣, and again Kabrhel check-called Johnson's 26,000 bet.
The 7♣ fell on the river, and again Kabrhel checked. Johnson bet out 60,000 this time.
Kabrhel asked for the bet size and then counted out his chips multiple times before throwing in the call.
Johnson tabled A♠8♠ for ace-high, and Kabrhel turned over 9♠9♥ and was pushed the pot.
Forrest Blackwelder, the overall chip leader after the first day of play, has yet to arrive for Day 2.
Blackwelder, who has never cashed in a WSOP event before this one, missed the entire Level 18, and has had some 200,000 chips blinded off his stack in his absence.
Andres Morales raised to 24,000 on the button and Chad Layne made it 106,000 to go out of the small blind.
Facing a bet that represented almost half of his stack, Morales thought for a moment before folding pockets tens face up.
Layne indicated that they were flipping and the pot was pushed his way.
