Laplante raised to 15,000 and Sternberg called while Spataru jammed all in for 63,300 effective. Laplante went into the tank for some time before deciding to throw his hand into the muck while Sternberg called to put himself at risk.

Alan Sternberg: 97 All in
Andrei Spataru: 33

Sternberg ended up beating Spataru's set with the runout of 107 to give him a flush and he doubled to survive.

Yamagishi Gives it Up

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

David Mowery opened from the button to 2,500, and was met with immediate resistance. Colten Yamagishi, who started the hand in the small blind, elected to three-bet to 8,000. The player in the big blind got out of the way, but Mowery made the call.

Both players chose to check the J79 flop, and when Yamagishi checked for a second time on the J turn, Mowery sensed an opportunity. He placed a bet of 9,500, which was enough to see Yamagishi concede the pot.

Bunch of Bustouts

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The tournament clock currently shows a tally of 9,735 total entries across four starting flights and an additional two levels on each of the Day 2 flights. It also dictates a prizepool of over $92,500,000 but these numbers are still being confirmed. That would mean a total of 777 late entries were recorded on Day 2d throughout the late registration period. It can be confirmed that just 3,420 players are still remaining in this flight with an additional two levels to be played after the dinner break.

Fujie Doubles Through Blumenthal

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Eddie Blumenthal
Eddie Blumenthal

Eddie Blumenthal kicked the action off with a raise to 2,500 from middle position. A couple of seats to his left, Toru Fujie responded with a three-bet to 8,000. Action then returned to Blumenthal, who didn't take much time before moving all in, having his opponents stack well covered. Fujie made the call, and the players put the cards on their backs.

Toru Fujie: AK All in
Eddie Blumenthal: JJ

The dealer burned and turned, bringing a 982 flop, keeping Blumenthal's lead intact.

When the turn brought the 9, Fujie had one foot out the door. However, the river K saw him take the lead and settle back into his seat with twice as many chips.

Huang Sends Kébé Home

Jimmy Kébé didn't have many chips left, but he moved them all in from the big blind. Wenxin Huang called from the small blind.

Jimmy Kébé: QJAll in
Wenxin Huang: 66

Neither of Kébé's overcards paired up and his hopes for a flush didn't pan out either on a runout of 8K943, so the former professional soccer player was sent to the exit.

Jacks No Good for Dillion

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Anthony Diotte raised from middle position to 2,600, and Brian Dillion tossed out just enough to be classified as a minimum raise, meaning to just call. The floor was called, and it was deemed a minimum raise to 4,000.

Diotte then went into the tank and four-bet to 9,000. Dillion instantly moved all in, and Diotte snap called.

Brian Dillion: JJAll in
Anthony Diotte: KK

No help came for Dillion on the Q3A310 runout, and he was sent to the rail.

Roberts Doubles Through Theologis

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With around 16,000 in the middle and a board of Q43A on the felt, Alexandros Theologis and Reginald Roberts were heads-up in a hand. After Roberts threw in a bet on the turn, Theologis ripped all in as the bigger stack. It didn't take long for Roberts to call off his stack of 57,000 and the cards were tabled.

Roberts flipped over AQ for two pair and Theologis had a combo draw with 85. It was the 9 on the river that bricked out and Roberts held on for a double up.

Aaron Thivyanathan: AKAll in
Jonathan Jaffe: A10

Thivyanathan was ahead, and he held on the 2J5 flop.

The 5 fell on the turn and Thivyanathan was looking good for a double up.

Things changed for Thivyanathan when the 10 came on the river as it gave Jaffe two pair, and Thivyanathan was sent to the rail midway through the second day of the tournament.
