Jon Beadles went all in confidently with nearly 800,000 chips on a flop of 10♠9♥9♣. Bradley Kodesh didn't hesitate to call.
"I have bad news, brother," Kodesh said. "I flopped quads."
Jon Beadles: K♦K♣
Bradley Kodesh: 9♠9♦
When Q♣2♥ turned, it was indeed a hard day's afternoon for Beadles, who needed runner-runner king-king for a better four-of-a-kind.

Todd Barney: J♠J♣
Anish Vithlani: K♠K♣
Vithlani had Barney's jacks in bad shape heading to a runout of 10♠8♥2♦A♠5♠. Barney could not improve and was slightly covered by Vithlani, making his way to the payout cage to collect his cash five hours into Day 2.

Stephen Mascioli was looking for a big take to increase his chip count, but instead took a hard hit that left him barely in the tournament.
The preflop raising was intense, as a raise, reraise and a four-bet all-in before action reached Mascioli in the small blind. He went all-in with 285,000, just 10,000 chips more than David Martin, who was on the button.
Michael Blanovsky raised the pot to 485,000 from middle position, then folded when Roberto Romanello came over the top with an all-in, and more than 2 million behind him.
Stephen Mascioli: J♦J♥
David Martin: A♠A♥
Roberto Romanello: 10♦10♥
Martin's aces held up through a runout of Q♦3♠Q♣5♦8♦, as he more than tripled up. Martin was left with a mere 20,000 chips after winning a small side pot over Romanello.
Blanovsky, who walked away from the table while the hand played out, returned and claimed that his A♣Q♥ would have given him the huge pot had he stayed in. The table laughed.
