Frank Visser

Level 18 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Jeremy Ausmus had defended his big blind against Byron Kaverman's open from middle position. The remaining 850,000 chips in Ausmus' possession flew in on the 8♦3♠4♥ flop, being put at risk by Kaverman.

Jeremy Ausmus: 8♥6♠ All in
Byron Kaverman: J♠J♥

Ausmus's pair of eights did not improve further on the A♠7♣ runout, seeing Kaverman's jacks hold for the elimination.

Level 18 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Mitchell Hynam open-shoved his stack of 1,255,000 from the cutoff. It folded to Joao Simao in the button, who confirmed the number before making the call.

Mitchell Hynam: Q♥J♥ All in
Joao Simao: A♥9♣

Hynam flopped a flush draw on 5♥6♥7♦, but hitting a pair would no longer be good as Simao paired his ace on the A♦ turn.

The K♦ river did not bring Hynam his desired heart, and he took his exit with only a few minutes left on the clock for Day 2.

Player	Chips	Progress
Joao Simao	4,450,000 1,650,000	1,650,000

Mitchell Hynam	Busted

Stewart Morrison

Level 18 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Mamad Arani opened in the cutoff to 175,000, and action folded around to Seth Davies in the big blind.

After taking a moment to confirm the raise amount and then take stock of his stack, Davies moved all in for 770,000.

Arani pondered for a moment but decided to call.

Seth Davies: A♦9♦ All in
Mamad Arani: J♠10♠

The flop 5♦J♦6♥ had a little something for everyone, importantly though Arani took the lead with his top-pair.

The turn 3♥ did nothing to affect proceedings, and the river 2♠ sealed Davies' fate.

Arani pulled in a nice stack as Day 2 was drawing to a close, and Davies headed to the payout desk.

Player	Chips	Progress
Mamad Arani	1,800,000 600,000	600,000
Seth Davies	Busted
