Daniel Negreanu raised from under the gun. Kyle Ray called from the cutoff, finding himself at risk for 30,000, and Patrick Leonard called from the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 2♥5♦6♣ and Negreanu raised to make Leonard check-fold.
Kyle Ray: A♣K♠ 
Daniel Negreanu: 9♦7♦
Ray was in the lead, even with Negreanu finding a flush draw with the J♦ turn. However diamonds were not needed as the 7♣ river gave a pair to Negreanu, sending Ray to the rail.
Level: 17
Blinds: 10,000-15,000
Limits: 15,000-30,000
The remaining field has gone on a 15-minute break. There will be two more levels of play before those that survive put their chips in the bag for Day 3.
Heads-up on a flop of 2♦4♦3♦, Dario Alioto checked from under the gun but Ryan Bambrick to his left bet. Alioto made the call.
On the 9♦ turn, Bambrick fired again. Alioto check-raised all-in, and Bambrick quickly called.
Dario Alioto: 10♥10♠
Ryan Bambrick: Q♠Q♥
The 6♠ river changed nothing, and Alioto became the first player eliminated in the money.
John Hennigan raised from the hijack. Patrick Leonard in the cutoff looked at his cards one after the other and jammed for 17,000. All the other players folded.
Patrick Leonard: K♠K♥
John Hennigan: K♦8♦
Leonard found kings at the right moment and he doubled up on A♣5♣7♦2♥Q♣.
Aaron Kupin raised his last 18,000 under the gun as the shortest stack in the field. Dzmitry Urbanovich called, as did Angelo Karimalis in the big blind.
The flop fanned out Q♠9♣8♦ and Urbanovich bet into the dry side pot. Karimalis folded.
Aaron Kupin: K♦J♠
Dzmitry Urbanovich: Q♥10♦
Kupin was live with his over card and gut shot but he couldn't improve as the 7♦ and 4♦ rolled off the deck.
David Lieberman raised from under the gun, and Daniel Negreanu three-bet from the button. Kyle Ray then moved all in for 20,000 from the big blind. Lieberman called Negreanu’s raise, creating a side pot.
The flop came 8♥6♣9♠. Lieberman led out, and Negreanu made the call. Both players then checked the Q♣ turn leading to the 3♥ river that Lieberman checked.
Believing Negreanu had checked back, Lieberman exposed his 5♣5♠. However, Negreanu hadn’t acted yet. He eventually checked back with K♠J♣, conceding the side pot to Lieberman.
Ray, who was all in, tabled 10♣7♦ for a flopped straight and scooped the main pot, secured a triple-up.
