Action was picked up with Jeff Sluzinski all in and at risk from the cutoff for his last 9,200 against Kevin Nee in first position who had called to put him at risk.
Jeff Sluzinski: K♦K♥ 
Kevin Nee: 9♥9♠
The board ran out 8♥J♣4♦7♠10♣ and the river brought a straight to Nee to eliminate the tournament pro from the tournament. Sluzinski wished his table mates good luck as he exited the tournament.
Talal Shakerchi opened from the hijack to 1,800 and only Robert Petrowski called out of the big blind.
Heads-up to the J♣5♥7♥ flop that saw Petrowski check-call a bet of 1,600 from Shakerchi.
The 10♥ came on the turn and Petrowski checked again. Shakerchi quickly fired out 3,000, resulting in an even quicker fold from Petrowski.
Kyle Miholich jammed for an even 8,000 from under the gun and got one call from Joshua Bobrosky two seats to his left.
Kyle Miholich: K♠Q♠
Joshua Bobrosky: 9♥9♣
"Casino royale!" Miholich proclaimed as he attempted to summon some Martin Kabrhel run-good.
The 10♠7♣2♦ gave Miholich some backdoors but he still needed some help to survive.
"Need to see some paint," Miholich begged as the dealer completed the board with 3♥8♠ and Miholich was left with king-high.
Miholich exclaimed "Not like that!" once the river card was dealt, and he earned some laughs from the room on his way to the rail.
Heads-up on a completed board of 7♠4♥5♣6♥J♠ with several thousand already in the middle, Chance Kornuth checked from the big blind and Josh Arieh bet 3,300.
Kornuth weighed his options, but eventually landed on a call and Arieh tabled Q♥J♥ for a pair of jacks.
Kornuth sent his hand into the muck and Arieh padded his stack.
Yu Wu opened to 1,600 in middle position and got a caller in Samuel Dray in hijack.
Both players saw a flop of 10♥6♠A♣. Wu continued with 2,000 and Dray stayed on.
The turn Q♥ and river K♦ was checked by both players. Wu tabled first showing A♠3♠ and Dray tabled A♥2♥ for a chop.
By the time the turn showed J♣6♦4♦6♠, more than 60,000 were in the middle and Todd Carson checked. Igor Zektser then pushed all-in for 18,700 and Carson snap-called.
Igor Zektser: Q♣Q♥
Todd Carson: J♠3♥
The A♠ on the river was a blank and Zektser doubled. Carson was left very short and busted soon after.
Gustavo Narducci from the cutoff and Felipe Olivieri from the big blind had both committed 4,500 preflop to create a bloated pot.
On the K♠4♦4♣ flop, Olivieri checked to Narducci who bet 1,500 and Olivieri put in the call.
The 3♣ turn checked through to the 8♥ river which saw Olivieri block for just 900. Narducci would then put out a raise to 7,000, and Olivieri reluctantly called after a small tank. He got the bad news as Narducci tabled K♥K♣ for a flopped full house to win the pot, prompting an obligatory "That's it?" comment from one of his tablemates.
While many players are still registering for the 2025 Main Event, a lot of others are already on their way out, including 2013 Main Event champion Ryan Riess who was seen leaving his seat after one of the first hands of the day.
The field has grown to 4,292 players taking part on Day 2d, bringing the total number of entries for the 2025 rendition to 9,474 thus far.
Carmen Raiche-Marsden and Steven Benjamin had created a huge pot of 90,000 when they arrived on the K♥3♣8♦Q♣4♠ river. Raiche-Marsden checked to Benjamin, who bet 35,000.
Raiche-Marsden quickly tossed in a single calling chip. Benjamin sheepishly tabled A♦J♦ for ace-high, and Raiche-Mardsen raked in the pile of chips with A♣K♦ for top pair.
