Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Players were already heads-up on the 4♥4♦2♦Q♦ turn with a pot of around 25,000. Brandon Simonsen bet 12,000 from middle position and Steven Saleh called from late position after around a minute.

The 10♠ river prompted Simonsen to move in for his remaining 26,500 chips.

Saleh went into the tank and took around two minutes before moving his 26,000 stack over the line into the pot to call.

Simonsen showed 7♦6♦ for the flush, which he made on the turn. Saleh threw his hand to muck but then showed he was behind with 8♠8♦.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was picked up with cards on their backs with Amit Kaushik all in for his last 35,600 from the small blind up against Diego Serrano from the hijack with the covering stack.

Amit Kaushik: K♣Q♠ All in
Diego Serrano: 10♥10♣

Kaushik picked up a few additional outs on the 9♣6♣4♣ flop, but did not improve on the A♦7♦ runout. He exited the tournament while Serrano rose to one of the biggest stacks in the white section of Horseshoe.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Justin Gardenhire from the cutoff and Ioannis Panagopoulos from the button were tangled in a big pot with 64,500 in the middle on the turn with the board reading J♦5♣2♠8♠.

Gardenhire would lead all-in for his final 39,200, sending Panagopoulos into the tank. After over two minutes, Panagopoulos counted out the calling chips and put them into the middle.

Justin Gardenhire: A♠10♠ All in
Ioannis Panagopoulos: 10♦10♣

Panagopoulos made the right call with his tens but needed to fade the flush draw and overcard of Gardenhire. Luckily for him, the river was the 9♦ as Panagopoulos held on to scoop a massive one and eliminate Gardenhire.

Mercedes Takes Navarro for a Ride

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jose Navarro went all in with his last 33,200 chips from the hijack with the board already at the turn 4♦8♥J♣9♥. Mercedes Osti, on the button, made the call.

Jose Navarro: J♦10♣All in
Mercedes Osti: Q♣10♦

Navarro had top pair and an open-ended straight draw. Unfortunately for him. Osti's straight was already and it was the nuts.

Navarro made a meaningless straight with the 7♠ on the river.

"Well, I did hit it," Navarro said. "What else can you do?"

Fan Zhang raised under the gun, Fabian Steiner three-bet in the next seat over, and Zhang four-bet to 14,200. Steiner then five-bet jammed for 56,800, which Zhang called with a slightly covering stack.

Fabian Steiner: A♥K♦ All in
Fan Zhang: K♠K♣

Steiner received no help on the 6♠3♠8♦7♦7♥ runout, sending him to the exit.

Four-Bet Gone Wrong for Ji

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Min Ji opened the cutoff before Terrance Reid three-bet to 6,500 from the button. With the action back on Ji, he put in a four-bet to 12,700, and Reid called.

On the 9♠6♠3♥ flop, Ji led for 10,000 before Reid raised to 22,000. Ji would then shove for 106,000 and Reid snapped it off as the covering stack.

Min Ji: 9♥8♦ All in
Terrance Reid: 9♦9♣

Ji had flopped top pair but was in dire straits against the top set of Reid. Nothing changed on the 5♥J♣ runout as Ji hit the exit in a questionable manner.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Hideaki Ohashi raised and earned three callers to the Q♣5♠2♠ flop on which Juan Maceiras checked out of the big blind. Ohashi continued for 3,000 into 9,500 and two opponents called. Maceiras Lapido then check-jammed for 58,800 and Ohashi went all-in over the top to isolate.

Juan Maceiras: Q♦2♦ All in
Hideaki Ohashi: 5♦5♣

The J♣ turn and 9♥ river changed nothing and that spelled the end for the Spaniard. Two years ago, Maceiras finished eighth in the WSOP Main Event for a seven-figure payday but has now been ousted on Day 2.

Tamaki Sends Mandryk to the Rail

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Shoichiro Tamaki opened from the hijack and Nicholas Mandryk called in the cutoff. In the small blind, Michael Vinokur put in a three-bet and both opponents called to create a bloated three-way pot.

On the 10♥10♦6♠ flop, Vinokur led for 7,000 and Tamaki called before Mandryk put in a small raise to 17,000. Vinokur would fold after a long tank with what he later said was aces, and Tamaki called again.

The turn brought the 9♦ as Tamaki checked in flow to Mandryk who jammed for 88,400 and Tamaki snap-called.

Nicholas Mandryk: Q♦J♦ All in
Shoichiro Tamaki: J♠10♠

Mandryk held an open-ender with a flush draw against the trip tens of Tamaki, who needed to fade many outs to drag a massive pot. Many from the table stood up to sweat the river card as the fate of each player awaited, and dealer peeled the 9♠ to give Tamaki a full house. Mandryk was left with nothing as he exited the room after a massive collision in a pot worth almost 250 big blinds.
