Daemon Richardson limped from the small blind and Felipe Manzure checked the big blind, having just 26,000 behind.
Action was checked from the K♥9♠Q♠ flop to the Q♥ turn and 3♦ river.
Richardson showed A♠10♣ which was good enough for Manzure to muck, having lost the minimum from the big blind.
Chad Holloway limped from middle position and called a raise of 12,000 from Roi Sabag in the small blind.
The flop came 10♥Q♣3♣ and Sabag continued for 35,000. Holloway thought a bit and then announced he was all in. Sabag snap-called for his entire 136,000 and hands were revealed.
Roi Sabag: A♦A♣
Chad Holloway: K♥K♠
Holloway had been trapping with kings, but found himself in trouble against Sabag's aces.
The 10♣ turn nor 9♦ river changed anything and Sabag doubled through Holloway, who was left with just 12,000 following the clash.
Holloway was seen exiting the tournament area shortly after, having been eliminated.
Richard Warnicke raised and only got called by JJ Liu in the big blind.
The flop gave 5♥Q♦4♥ and Liu led out for 5,000. After some thinking, Warnicke raised it to 27,000 and Liu folded.
Jeremy Surinach was down to his last 16,000 when he moved all in from under the gun. Pavle Pecelj called on the button.
Jeremy Surinach: K♠K♦
Pavle Pecelj: 10♠10♦
Suriach was a big favorite to double his short stack with his kings, and the A♥9♠7♣3♦4♥ board kept him in the lead to secure him the pot.
The board read 7♦6♦5♥8♠ when Ruben Correia bet 20,000 and faced a shove from Nicolas Maniable for a stack around 93,000.
Correia went deep into the tank before eventually folding, and Maniable showed 9♥8♣ for the straight. "I had a flopped straight" told Correia to the table.
John Dlubala raised under the gun to 4,500 and got calls from Sergio Barrios in early position, Graham Mathews in middle position, and Vincent Napolitano in the big blind.
The flop came 4♣8♥K♦, Napolitano checked, and Dlubala continued for 4,500. Barrios called, as did Mathews, and Napolitano then folded.
The 7♦ fell on the turn, and now it was checked to Mathews, who put out a bet of 15,500. Dlubala folded, and Barrios went into the tank for a while before he released his cards.
Nicholas Beecher opened from under the gun to 4,000 and, just two seats to his left, Ioannis Pentefountas moved all in for 30,000. The action then folded to Kenneth Heaton in the cutoff, who also chose to move all in, his stack sitting at 62,000.
Beecher spent a moment deliberating but ultimately decided to part ways with his pocket jacks.
The two remaining players revealed their cards, and it transpired that Beecher had made a correct fold.
Ioannis Pentefountas: 10♦10♣
Kenneth Heaton: K♦K♣
Beecher went from a man of contentment to a man of regret, as the dealer spread a 7♠8♠J♦ flop. Crucially, though, Heaton still had the lead.
It would stay that way on the 6♦ turn and the 8♦ river, sealing Pentefountas' fate, late into Day 2.
The action was picked up on the 6♥10♥10♦7♦ turn, where Thomas Eychenne fired a bet of 30,000 from the cutoff. Mike Matusow called in the hijack, after which Eychenne moved all in on the 3♠ river, covering the 103,000 of Matusow.
Matusow gave it some thought, but he ultimately chose to fold his hand and battle on with his remaining chips.
Joshua Feiger raised to 4,500 in early position which prompted Girish Reknar to move all in for 20,500 in middle position. Everyone folded back around to Feiger who called.
Girish Reknar: K♣J♠
Joshua Feiger: A♥10♣
The board ran out 4♣7♠9♥5♣10♥ and the pair of tens was good for Feiger to take down the pot.
Just before their table broke, Dillon Najor clashed with Roberto Bianchi when both players rivered a flush on the 10♠5♦3♦5♠J♦ board. The 6♦2♦ of Najor were no good, as Bianchi had that crushed holding the A♦Q♦ to score the late knockout and further rise up the leaderboard.
