A pot of around 55,000 had already brewed between Patrick Hall and Rohit Mariwalla on a full board of 4♠Q♥7♦K♣6♥.
Hall had checked the river from the hijack and was facing a bet of 32,000 from Mariwalla, who was on the button. Several minutes passed with Hall in the tank and eventually he dropped in the call.
Mariwalla then flipped K♦Q♦ for top two pair, and Hall tossed his cards away.
Muskan Sethi open-shoved in middle position for her last 19,000 and it folded to Deborah Nance in the big blind who called:
Muskan Sethi: A♠Q♦ 
Deborah Nance: A♣K♥
Sethi's hand was dominated and the board 7♥8♥6♥8♦K♣ didn't bring her any help to be eliminated from the event.
"Harry Lodge, WSOP bracelet winner, raises to 3,000 under the gun," tablemate Chad Holloway narrated.
"Two-time winner," Lodge corrected.
"Two bracelets? I only have one," Holloway added.
Corey Hochman and Enrique Moran came along from the blinds and they saw a flop of 10♦4♠10♠. Action was checked through to the 3♥ turn, where Hochman led out for 5,500. Both opponents called.
Hochman and Moran checked the Q♣ river, and Lodge bet 20,000 that was enough to win the pot.
"Whoever doubles me up this hand, I'll buy a $20 massage. But you have to call light," Holloway told the table as they moved on to the next hand.
Most of the blue section in Horseshoe has been cleared out with the field down to just 1,815 players on Day 2. Some of the remaining tables include Phil Hellmuth and his son who have nearly identical chip counts and sitting at adjacent tables.
All the chips went in the middle preflop between Tonci Restovic, who was at risk for a remaining stack around 22,000, holding A♦7♦, and Martin Gerloff who held 6♥6♠.
Restovic couldn't win the flip to survive as the board revealed K♣5♥K♥3♠3♥ and Gerloff took down the pot.
Alexis Kivu defended the big blind against an open raise by Vincent Moscati from under the gun and checked the Q♠5♦2♦ flop. Moscati continued for 2,500 and then called a check-raise to 6,000. The 5♥ turn was checked and the 2♥ river paired the board.
Once Kivu checked again, Moscati jammed his short stack and got it through.
Alon Shahar raised to 3,000 under the gun. Vinicius Camargo then three-bet to 9,000 in middle position, which Shahar called after it had folded back to him.
Camargo continued for another 9,000 on the 10♣6♦9♦ flop, and Shahar check-called. The A♣ turn prompted Shahar to lead out for 17,000.
Camargo took a final look at his cards before he gave up on the pot and tossed them into the muck.
Miguel Coussement opened to 3,000 from middle position and action folded around to Henry Fewster who defended the big blind.
The K♦7♠10♠ flop saw both check to the 3♠ turn.
Fewster checked, Coussement bet 4,000 and Fewster made the call.
The A♦ river prompted another check from Fewster. Coussement bet out 8,500 and Fewster folded.
Peter Columbia was already all in and at risk for approximately 25,000 from the cutoff against Asako Kitamura, who had Columbia covered from early position.
Peter Columbia: A♠J♥
Asako Kitamura: A♦K♣
Columbia found himself dominated, and the A♣Q♣3♣ flop and 9♦ turn left him with one foot out the door.
However, the J♠ river was just what Columbia needed — improving him to two pair for the dramatic double up.
