Christian Munk: J♥J♦ 
Pierre Calamusa: A♥K♥
The board ran out J♠4♦2♥8♥10♦, and Munk doubled his stack.
Anne Liu raised to 4,000 from middle position. Katsuki Matsuoka and Greg Raymer called from the small and big blinds, respectively.
The flop hit A♠5♥8♠, prompting a bet of 5,000 from Liu. Only Matsuoka called.

Matsuoka folded.
Jason Graeb bet 8,000 from the small blind on a flop of 8♥J♥9♣ and Kazuki Sogabe raised to 25,000 in the hijack. Graeb called, and the 8♣ fell on the turn.
Sogabe then bet another 25,000, and Graeb again called. The river was the 3♥ and Sogabe moved all in. Graeb snap-called for 70,000 and turned over A♥K♥ for a rivered flush, but Sogabe had a full house with J♠J♣ to score the late knockout.
The tournament floor has announced that players will play five more hands.
Stay tuned to PokerNews for a recap and assorted end of day counts.
Nicholas Funaro raised to 4,000 from the hijack and Delmiro Toledo called in the big blind.
The flop rolled out Q♦9♦3♣ and Toledo check-called a bet from Funaro to the tune of 4,000.
Toledo check-folded the K♦ turn after Funaro fired out a bet of 12,000.
Joshua Palmer opened to 4,000 on the button, but David Kluchman responded with a three-bet to 16,000 from the small blind. Palmer weighed his options before he called.
The action froze on the J♣2♥A♥ flop and the J♦ turn to bring the Q♣ river.
Kluchman was done checking as he chose to bet 15,000 on the completed board.
Palmer did not take long to fold as Kluchman collected more chips to add to his already large stack during the waning minutes of the last level.
Heads-up to the turn with the board reading A♥K♣J♠3♥ and 76,000 in the middle, Kevin Ordet bet 38,000 from under the gun and Clemen Deng called on the button.
On the 9♠ river, Ordet led again for 100,000. Deng did not take long before he shrugged and tossed in the call. However, he got the bad news as Ordet tabled Q♠10♦ for the flopped nut straight, and he got paid in a massive pot.
Jason Krug was pipped preflop when at risk for 48,500 with A♣Q♣ against the A♠K♠ of Anthony Ortega. The board ran out Q♠J♣6♦Q♥5♦ and Krug improved to trips queens to stay in contention late on Day 2abc.
Michael Gaskins bet 5,000 from the hijack on a flop of 7♥6♣J♣ and was called by Greg Merson in the big blind and Justin Manjares in middle position.
The turn was the 4♥ and Gaskins bet another 12,000. Merson then moved all in and Manjares folded, while Gaskins snap-called for 85,000.
Merson showed 6♥4♣ for two pair, but Gaskins had flopped top set with J♦J♠. The 6♠ river improved both players to a full house, and Gaskins remained in the lead to double up.
Action folded to Sasha Liu who was in the small blind, and she raised to cover Matan Mesika's remaining 24,500 stack. Mesika made a quick call and the pair tabled their hands.
Matan Mesika: A♠8♠
Sasha Liu: A♥2♦
Mesika was ahead, and things stayed that way on the K♣K♠5♣ flop. The Q♥ turn didn't change much either as Mesika's eight still played, but the A♣ river sent the pair to a chop, denying Mesika some value.
