Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Joao Estanislau made it 70,000 to go from early position with only Isaac Kempton calling from the big blind.

Kempton check-called a bet of 115,000 from Estanislau on the Q♦A♣6♠ flop.

Both players checked the 8♣ turn for the 4♣ to roll off on the river. Kempton checked, but Estanislau bet 400,000. Kempton quickly folded and forfeited the pot to Estanislau.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Bernard Vu raised the pot to 70,000 in middle position and Michael Zulker called from the small blind. The flop came A♣4♦2♣ and Zulker checked to Vu who jammed all in for his last 170,000. Zulker gave it some thought and eventually made the call.

Bernard Vu: K♠Q♠J♥7♥ All in
Michael Zulker: A♠K♣10♦5♠

Vu was bluffing with just king-high and started to pack his bags. The 7♠ on the turn gave Zulker the best flush draw as well and Vu started to walk away thinking that he was drawing dead. However, the Q♥ on the river gave Vu two pair and he had to be called back to the table after scoring a miraculous double-up.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

It was a three-way limped pot going to a flop of K♦J♣8♠ and Igor Holdaiy tossed in a bet of 50,000 in early position. Jorryt van Hoof called on the button and Shrey Maheshwary came along from the big blind.

The turn was the 6♣ which turned out to be the action card. Maheshwary started with a check and Holdaiy bet the pot of 270,000. Van Hoof called and Maheshwary check-raised all in for 545,000. That barely opened the door for Holdaiy to reshove all in and Van Hoof was forced to fold.

Maheshwary turned over K♣8♦4♣2♣ for two pair and a flush draw while Holdaiy just had A♣J♥7♣2♠ for a pair and the best flush draw. The river was the 8♥ and Maheshwary improved to a full house and vaulted up the leaderboard late on Day 2.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

On a flop of 10♦9♥4♥, Dennis Weiss had shoved for around 600,000 from the small blind over a bet of 190,000 from Ryan Riess. Riess, who was seated in the hijack, had around 250,000 behind. After getting the clock called on him by another player, Riess made the call.

Ryan Riess: K♦K♥J♠8♥ All in
Dennis Weiss: K♣J♣10♥9♠

Riess had an overpair and a flush draw against the top two pair of Weiss. The 4♠ turn and 4♣ river counterfeited Weiss, and Riess doubled up with his Cowboys.

Jeffrey Whittinghill: A♠K♣10♣8♠ All in
Miltiadis Kyriakides: A♥K♥Q♠3♥

Kyriakides pulled into the lead with the 3♠3♦2♠ flop but the 10♠ turn gave Whittinghill the flush. Needing to pair up for a full house, Kyriakides missed the 6♣ on the river and had to forfeit a portion of his stack.

He didn't ask for an exact count and folded after a few seconds of consideration, allowing Wang to chip up without showdown in the final level of the night.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Ryan Riess was all-in preflop for his last 160,000 with David Paredes trying to send him home.

Ryan Riess: A♣10♦8♣7♦ All in
David Paredes: A♠A♥Q♥5♦

Riess needed to come from behind and crack the aces of Paredes if he was to have a chance of making Day 3.

The flop came down J♣Q♣8♠, giving Riess a lot of outs to win. The 8♦ was one of those outs as Riess improved to trip eights to take the lead. A clean 4♦ arrived on the river, and Riess doubled up through Paredes.

After the dealer put out a flop of A♠K♠2♦, Crawford knuckled the action over to Hellmuth. Hellmuth wasted no time in betting the pot again, prompting a quick fold from Crawford.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The action folded around to Pedro Marques and Fernando Gutierrez in the blinds who quickly got all of their chips in the middle after a couple of raises. Marques was the player at risk in the small blind for 155,000 and needed some help.

Pedro Marques: Q♠J♦10♦3♠ All in
Fernando Gutierrez: A♦K♥Q♦J♠

The flop came 5♦2♥2♣ which connected with neither of the players. The 3♥ on the turn paired up for Marques and that was all he needed when the 5♣ completed the board.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Fernando Gutierrez raised to 40,000 from under the gun and Lawrence Wayne three-bet to 144,000 on his left. Thomas Taylor reraised the pot to over 500,000 and the action quickly folded back to Wayne who stuck in the last few chips in front of him.

Lawrence Wayne: Q♠Q♦J♣10♠ All in
Thomas Taylor: A♣A♦J♠8♥

The flop came J♥6♦5♣ and Taylor was still out front with his pair of aces. The 10♣ on the turn gave Wayne two pair but the 5♠ on the river gave Taylor the best two pair to eliminate the dog-barking Wayne from the event.

Player	Chips	Progress
Thomas Taylor	1,435,000 235,000	235,000
Lawrence Wayne	Busted
