Day 2 will close after the completion of Level 18, meaning there's just one hour of play left.
Sean Winter was out of his seat, observing the other table while the deal got underway. He just made it back to his seat in time to play his hand and opened to 280,000 from under the gun. The action folded to Jason Koon in the big blind, who three-bet to 1,200,000.
Winter, who had around 4,500,000, said, "Everything but 5,000." Koon jammed, and Winter put in his last chip.
Sean Winter: K♥K♠
Jason Koon: A♦A♣
"Why did you have to give it to me," bemoaned Winter as his kings couldn't improve on the J♣8♦5♥7♠6♥ runout.
Koon offered his condolences and was then very complimentary about his compatriot as Winter departed the tournament area.

Sergey Lebedev opened to 250,000 from the cutoff, and Aliaksei Boika defended his big blind.
Boika check-raised to 600,000 over a bet of 200,000 on the A♦8♣4♥ flop. Lebedev called.
Boika slowed down with a check on the K♦ turn, but called when Lebedev bet 500,000.
The 2♦ completed the board and Boika sized down to 300,000. Lebedev wasn't a huge fan of the spot but chucked in the three T-100,000 chips to call.
Both players tabled AxQx, and appeared relieved to have chopped the pot.

Chongxian Yang was down to just 450,000 after doubling up Dominykas Mikolaitis, and looked like he would be the player to exit on the final table bubble.
He folded from under the gun on the next deal, but was fortunate to recieve a walk when he was in the big blind. He gave up his small blind the hand after but when he was on the button, he put in his stack of 450,000.
Mikolaitis snapped from the big blind and the cards were tabled.
Chongxian Yang: A♥8♠
Dominykas Mikolaitis: 9♥9♣
Yang immediately found his three-outer, pairing his ace on the A♣6♥2♣ flop and held on to double after the J♥3♥ completed the board.

A completed board of Q♠9♣5♠4♣K♦ was spread across the felt with roughly 800,000 in the middle. Brock Wilson led out with a bet of 175,000 from the big blind and Andrew Lichtenberger raised to 700,000 on the button.
Wilson countered by shoving all in as the big stack, putting Lichtenberger to the test. 'Lucky Chewy' wasted little time before splashing in a call for his stack of 2,775,000. Wilson turned over 10♣9♠ for a pair of nines with blockers to the straights and flushes, while Lichtenberger rivered two pair with K♥5♥.
