Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was folded around to Gus Hansen who raised from the cutoff to 4,500, and found a call from Jose Noceda in the small blind.

The flop came Q♦3♦Q♣ and Noceda checked to Hansen, who continued for 5,500. Noceda called.

The turn brought the 4♣ and Noceda check-called Hansen's 12,500 bet. The 9♣ came on the river and the action went check-check. Noceda tabled A♥5♥ for ace-high which was way behind Hansen's 7♣7♠.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Corey Wright made it 4,500 to go from under the bug before Denis Strebkov three-bet to about 13,000 from the button. After the blinds folded, Wright four-bet to 31,500, which Strebkov called.

Wright continued with a bet of 25,000 on the 4♣8♠K♠ flop. Strebkov took a little while, but eventually called.

Two checks followed the 8♣ turn to see the 3♣ roll off on the river. Wright checked for the last time, and Strebkov fired out 42,000. Wright took some time to decide what to do, but in the end, he chose to fold and surrender the pot to Strebkov.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Sean Perry raised to 4,500 with the A♣J♠ and Valentyn Shabelnyk defended the inferior A♥3♦ from the big blind. Shabelnyk check-called for 3,000 on the J♣3♥2♠ flop when both had a piece of it and did so again for 10,000 on the Q♥ turn.

After the K♠ river, Perry jammed for 25,000 and Shabelnyk asked for a count. While he was in the tank, Aaron Zhang asked for a count and during the additional time to think, Shabelnyk called with the bottom pair for Perry to double.

The action switched to Kirk Yancey on the other live stream table who was all-in against Alex Bergfors.

Kirk Yancey: 6♦6♣ All in
Alex Bergfors: A♣K♥

The [AsTc5c94d] board spelled the end for Yancey.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Michael Rocco opened from the hijack and Jeffrey Trudeau called in the cutoff.

On the J♥9♠6♠ flop, Rocco checked to Trudeau who bet 9,000 and Rocco stuck around with a call.

The 9♥ turn checked through to the 10♠ river which saw Rocco lead for just 5,000 and Trudeau quickly called. Rocco tabled K♣Q♥ as he hit a gutter on the river to make a straight as he continues to stay involved late on Day 2.

Adam Lamers

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Christopher Csik raised to 4,000 in early position and picked up a couple of callers along the way, including Bobby Boland on the button. Saar Wilf three-bet to 22,000 out of the big blind and Boland was the only player to call.

The flop came Q♦J♥6♣ and Wilf tossed in a couple of T-25,000 chips. Boland didn't take much time to call off the chips in front of him and the cards were tabled.

Bobby Boland: 4♥4♦ All in
Saar Wilf: K♣K♦

Boland was looking for two outs, but the K♥ on the turn ruined all of those hopes after Wilf hit a set of kings. The 3♦ on the river was insignificant and Boland was sent to the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Saar Wilf	142,000 90,800	90,800
Christopher Csik	52,000 16,900	16,900

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop between Kathy Liebert in the small blind, Ryuichiro Yamakawa in the big blind, and Brad Sailor in early position.

The flop read Q♣8♥5♣ and action checked around to Sailor who bet 7,000 to see only Yamakawa call.

On the turn Q♦, both players checked to the river 6♠ where Yamakawa checked over to Sailor who bet 12,000.

Yamakawa called and mucked after seeing Sailor's K♥K♣ for kings up. Sailor took in the pot without saying a word as he and Liebert are involved in a game of who will talk first.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ryuichiro Yamakawa	193,000 62,000	62,000
Kathy Liebert	183,000 34,000	34,000

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Drew Gonzalez opened from the cutoff before Milad Oghabian jammed for 36,500 from the small blind. In the big blind, 2024 WSOP Super Main Event champion Yinan Zhou called all in with the smaller stack for 29,500, and Gonzalez folded quickly.

Yinan Zhou: Q♠Q♣ All in
Milad Oghabian: A♦10♦

Zhou woke up with a premium at the right time. Nothing changed on the 6♠6♥5♠ flop until the 10♠ turn gave Oghabian some additional outs. However, the river was the 6♦ and Zhou held on to more than double as he looks to make another deep run in his young career.

Player	Chips	Progress
Drew Gonzalez	230,000 49,000	49,000

Yinan Zhou	65,000 48,400	48,400

Stewart Morrison

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Craig Bateman raised to 5,000 in middle position, picking up a call from the player directly to his left. Action was then on Michael Finstein, who moved all in for 79,500. Finstein then called off for his remaining 66,500, and the remaining player folded.

Craig Bateman: A♠K♦ All in
Michael Finstein: 8♣8♦

The flop 3♥A♦Q♣ moved Bateman into the lead, and when the turn 7♣ hit, Finstein stood up.

The river 7♠ secured the pot for Bateman, and Finstein started to walk away from the table. He was called back, though, as he had a slightly larger stack than his opponent and wasn't out.

Unfortunately for Finstein, though, he wasn't able to spin his 13,000 back up, as he was eliminated a few hands later.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Arthur Souza De Campos moved all from the small blind in with his final 13,000 chips looking at a flop of 6♦2♦A♠. Siddhesh Kudtarkar made the call in the big blind.

Arthur Souza De Campos: A♣2♠ All in
Siddhesh Kudtarkar: 9♣9♠

De Campos had two pair and they held through the river and turn of Q♣10♠, securing a nice double-up.
