2-7 Triple Draw
Matthew Schreiber and Jon Kyte were heads-up to the second draw. Kyte asked for two in the big blind, while Schreiber stood pat from the cutoff.
Kyte's check was answered with a quick bet by Schreiber, and the call was made. Kyte took one, and Schreiber remained pat. Kyte check-called one last bet.
"Eight perfect," said Schreiber while turning over 8x5x4x3x2x to take down the pot as Kyte could only muck.

Pot-Limit Omaha
Espen Sandvik from the cutoff and Ioannis Konstas from the button were heads-up to the turn with the boarding reading Q♣5♦2♣8♥. Sandvik checked it over to Konstas who potted for 47,000. Sandvik contemplated his decision for a while before he jammed for 93,000 and Konstas called as the covering stack.
Espen Sandvik: A♣Q♥9♥4♣
Ioannis Konstas: Q♠J♦8♠8♦
Sandvik had top pair, the nut flush draw, and a wheel gutter against the middle set of Konstas, who held through the 2♦ river as he filled up to eliminate Sandvik in the early proceedings.
Limit Hold'em
Action was heads-up to the 6♠K♦2♥ flop, with Jon Shoreman leading out with a bet from the small blind. Robert Wells raised in the big blind, and the call was made.
Shoreman led out again on the K♥ turn, and Wells slid in a call. The 2♠ river saw Shoreman slow down with a check, producing a bet from Wells.
Shoreman took a moment before turning over A♣A♥ as he folded. Wells flashed a king before raking in the pot.
Pot-Limit Omaha
Eric Wasserson from the hijack and Dylan Smith from the cutoff went to the Q♣7♥5♥ flop with 165,000 in the middle already. The remainder of Smith's 65,000 found its way into the middle and he was at risk against Wasserson.
Dylan Smith: Q♠10♥8♥7♠
Eric Wasserson: A♦A♣K♦8♣
Smith had outflopped Wasserson's aces after making two pair and holding the only flush draw. The J♠ turn added additional outs for Wasserson who picked up a gutshot. However, it was the 5♦ river that gave Wasserson the winner as he counterfeited Smith's two pair, and Wasserson is into the chip lead on the first orbit of the day.
Pot-Limit Omaha
After registering to begin Day 2, Taylor Paur was all in on the 2♠J♣8♥ flop and at risk against Christopher Claassen on his left.
Taylor Paur: 6♠6♥2♣2♥
Christopher Claassen: A♥K♦J♠8♦
Claassen's two pair were no good against Paur's set of deuces. The 5♠ turn and 3♣ river confirmed Paur's double to start the day.
