Players were already all in, heads-up, with the cards face-up. Stavros Petychakis was at risk from the small blind for 1,250,000 with James Pinpin covering from under the gun.
Stavros Petychakis: 10♦10♠
James Pinpin: Q♠J♠
The players saw the 6♦A♦6♥4♥A♥ runout, keeping Petychakis ahead.
Pinpin swapped stacks with Petychakis, having just 1,350,000 after the hand.
Julio Torres moved all in before the flop for 1,835,000 from under the gun. The action folded around to Gary Armstrong in late position who made the call by putting a short stack of chips in front of him.
Julio Torres: 10♠10♣
Gary Armstrong: A♦J♣
Torres was at risk and in the lead as we headed to the flop of 7♠Q♣8♣.
As the dealer placed the Q♥ on the turn, Armstrong was looking for an ace or a jack to eliminate Torres late into Day 2.
A K♥ hit the river and Torres doubled up to almost 4 million in chips.
Gary Armstrong, from the big blind, and Mateusz Moolhuizen, from a middle position, were at risk with pairs in a huge three-player pot, involving Lok Chan, who was the Day 1A chip leader.
Gary Armstrong: 10♥10♣
Mateusz Moolhuizen: J♦J♣
Lok Chan: A♥K♥
Moolhuizen was in good shape from the flop, but received bad news by the end of the runout 8♣5♦3♠3♣A♠. The river ace boosted Chan into the top three in overall chips for the event.
These are the latest top chip counts after the break, as seen on the WSOP+ app.

Blinds: 100,000/200,000
Ante: 200,000
The remaining 202 players are on a 15-minute break.
As the action was picked up by Pokernews James Morris had just sat down and went all in from late position for 2,430,000 and was called by Morgan Ravail.
James Morris: K♥Q♥
Morgan Ravail: A♥J♠
A board of 6♥4♠10♠ was no help to Morris as we was looking for running hearts, any pair or specifically an ace and a jack to make a straight.
The 8♦ hit the turn and Ravail still had the lead with Morris at risk.
Fortunately for Morris a Q♦ peeled off on the river as he doubled up before the next break late in Day 2.
Mathew Truepenny, on the button, had both Joseph Reddick, who was in early position, and Michael Banayan, in the big blind, covered.
Michael Banayan: 6♠6♦
Joseph Reddick: K♥9♣
Mathew Truepenny: A♠J♥
Truepenny delivered the double knockout, sending Reddick and Banayan home with a runout Q♣K♣2♥9♥10♥ to a Broadway straight.
Davyd Kovalevskyi was already all in from the small blind for around 1,250,000 and at risk against Tom Verbruggen in the big blind.
Davyd Kovalevskyi: K♦7♦
Tom Verbruggen: Q♠9♦
Kovalevskyi improved on the 5♠8♣K♥ flop and held on the J♣, 7♠ runout, securing him a double up.
