Matthew Barnett raised to 1,200,000 and Rex Jensen pushed for around 6,000 on the button. Both blinds folded and Barnett called with the A♣Q♦. That flipped against the 5♥5♠ of Barnett and couldn't hold on a board of Q♠9♠2♥2♣6♠.

Rick McGraw went all in from middle position, getting calls from Corey Wick, also in middle position, and Jason Daly in the hijack.
Wick and Daly checked down through the runout A♠5♦10♠A♦10♣.
McGraw showed 5♥5♣ for a full house, but Wick's A♣9♣ gave him a bigger one and knocked McGraw out of the tournament minutes away from Day 2. Daly had K♠J♠.
With the flop showing A♠8♥4♥, Jiawei Mao bet and then called a raise to 10,000 by Sunny So as they headed to the 7♦ on the turn. Mao now checked and So bet 25,000 only for Mao to reluctantly shove and get called by So.
Jiawei Mao: A♣Q♦
Sunny So: A♦K♦
The river was the 2♦ and the kicker played. Both stacks were counted and the 65,700 of So covered to knock out Mao during the final stages of the day.
Ruben Carrasco called all-in when Ryota Shinde jammed the 6♦5♣4♥9♦ turn and was well ahead with A♥6♥ versus A♠6♠. Shinde needed a try for the straight and that's exactly what came with the 3♣ on the river to eliminate the third player from this table on Day 1d.
Mateusz Moolhuizen opened to 1,500 from under the gun. Ryan Coon in the hijack moved all-in with a stack almost as small as Moolhuizen's bet, and Colton Blomberg called from the big blind.
Moolhuizen continued for 1,500 on the 3♣3♠5♥ flop and was called, then Blomberg led out for 3,000 on the 2♥ turn. Moolhuizen raised to 6,500 and Blomberg called.
Both players checked the 10♦ river and Blomberg showed 4♦4♥ for two pair. Moolhuizen mucked his cards, and Coon at risk only had A♦8♠ and was eliminated.
David Prociak kicked the action off with a raise to 1,200 in middle position. The raise garnered calls from both the player to his direct left and William Stabler, in the hijack.
The dealer spread a 6♥9♠J♣ flop, and Prociak continued with a bet of 2,300. His neighbour folded, but Stabler responded by moving all in for 17,300.
Prociak snap-called and the players put the cards on their backs.
William Stabler: Q♣10♦
David Prociak: A♥J♠
There was no help for Stabler on the 7♣ turn, and the river A♠ only served to improve Procial to top two pair.
Stabler gathered his belongings, said "Good game" to the table, and headed toward the exit.
Hieu Le raised to 1,200 in the hijack. Andrew Nguyen then put his 10,100 at risk from the cutoff, and Le quickly called when the action folded back to him.
Andrew Nguyen: A♣K♠
Hieu Le: 10♥10♦
The 7♣8♦4♥9♣2♠ board brought no help for Nguyen, who took his exit late on Day 1d.
Jesse Klinger raised to 1,500 in the hijack, and Sergio Aguero moved all in for his last 3,000 in the cutoff. Andrius Mazurkevicius tossed out a three-bet to 6,000 in the big blind, and Klinger got out of the way.
Sergio Aguero: K♥9♥
Andrius Mazurkevicius: 10♠10♣
Aguero could not connect on the 4♥A♣5♣2♠6♥ runout, confirming his exit as Mazurkevicius held with pocket tens.
