As one of the far shortest stacks in the field, Yu Lo was all-in and at risk for only 7,000 on the live stream table.
Yu Lo: 4♦4♣ 
David Williams: A♠6♦
The A♥J♣7♠ flop improved Williams to the superior pair, who then also improved to two pair with the 6♥ turn. The river was the 3♥ and that spelled the end for Lo.
Tobey Faugno raised it up from early position and Troy Neptune called from the small blind. The flop came A♥Q♦3♦ and Neptune check-called a small bet from Faugno.
The turn brought the 4♦ and Neptune checked again. Faugno threw in a bet of 15,000 and Neptune check-raised to 45,000. Faugno announced all in as the bigger stack which sent Neptune into the tank.
"I have the second nuts, but I can't beat an ace-high flush," Neptune pondered out loud over the course of nearly five minutes. While the rest of the table sat in silence, Neptune continued to deliberate until the clock was called. With only seconds left to act, Neptune threw his K♦8♦ face up into the muck.
"You have to show the cameras," one player said to Faugno. Despite PokerNews not having any cameras at the table, Faugno did show his 10♦9♦ for a smaller flush which sent Neptune spinning.
Niall Farrell open-shoved for 17,500 in early position.
"It's time for a big boy move," he commented as the action folded to Timur Margolin in the small blind. He called with the covering stack, and the players showed down.
Niall Farrell: A♣K♦
Timur Margolin: 7♠7♣
Margolin flopped a set on 4♠7♥10♠, and Farrell was left drawing dead on the K♠ turn. The triple crown winner would not add a WSOP Main Event win to his resume, and he said his goodbyes as the 3♥ river completed the board.
Reigning GPI Player of the Year and current 2025 frontrunner Jesse Lonis has revealed he’s locked in a $2,000 bet on himself to win the WSOP Main Event at 500-to-1 (+50,000) odds with none other than poker's all-time money list fifth place Mikita Badziakouski.
Over on the secondary table, Christian Chung three-bet to 10,000 and then called all-in for 44,500 when Daniel Lim jammed.
Christian Chung: K♥K♦
Daniel Lim: A♥K♣
The 8♠2♥2♦7♦7♥ board kept the kings in the lead and Lim was left short.
Julien Martini from under the gun and Ivaylo Panev from the cutoff were heads-up to a completed board of K♦9♥5♥7♥J♣ with just under 50,000 in the middle.
Martini led with big enough bet to put Panev all in for his final 34,000. After almost two minutes, Panev put a stack into the middle to call off his stack.
Ivaylo Panev: K♠J♠
Julien Martini: A♠A♥
Martini had the overpair but Panev rivered two pair and made the correct call on the end as he secured the full double.
Patrick Steele raised to 3,000 from middle position only to be three-bet by Man Tse to 9,000 in late position and then four-bet to 28,000 by Christopher Meyers in the big blind.
Steele folded, and Tse thought for a short while before he announced that he was all-in. He had Meyers covered. Meyers snap called.
Christopher Meyers: K♠K♦
Man Tse: Q♣Q♥
It was not the flop Meyers wanted to see when the 6♥2♠Q♠ peeled off. The 4♦ on the turn did nothing to change matters, and when the 5♠ bricked out on the river, Meyers was sent to the rail in a nasty fashion
Coming back from the dinner break, the field on Day 2d has been trimmed to less than 3,000 players still remaining with the better part of two levels still to play. 2015 WSOP Main Event champion Joe McKeehen was among the notables who will not be advancing to Day 3 of this event.
Table chip leader William Camp raised to 3,000 with Q♣10♠ and Thomas Winschel defended the big blind with the Q♠8♠. They checked the K♦J♠10♦ flop to the 9♥ turn on which Winschel bet 10,000 and Camp called.
Winschel also bet the 7♠ river for 22,000 with 54,500 behind and Camp then pushed all-in. The reluctant call by Winschel with the second nuts followed and they chopped the pot.
Shortly after,
Rickey McCray three-bet all in with some 30,000 in chips from the big blind. Ryan Johnson called in middle position.
Rickey McCray: K♦K♣
Ryan Johnson: K♠Q♣
McCray was in good shape and stayed that way throughout the runout of 9♥9♣9♦8♣7♦, which ended with him having a full house for the double-up.
