With around 150,000 in the pot, three players saw a flop of J♠5♠6♠, which was checked through.

The J♥ paired the board on the turn, and Laura Wolkoff led out with a bet. Ni Hansen, sitting in the big blind, responded with a raise. Michael Lipner quickly folded from middle position, while Wolkoff called off the rest of her stack to put herself at risk.

Laura Wolkoff: 8♥8♦All in
Ni Hansen: 10♦10♠

Wolkoff was behind against Hansen's tens and jacks and needed help on the river to survive. The dealer revealed the A♠, improving Hansen to a flush and bringing Wolkoff's tournament run to an end after she entered Day 2 as the chip leader.

Three ways in a three-bet pot on a flop of 5♠6♣2♦, Michael Lipner checked from the small blind and Thomas Miressi checked from early position to Laura Wolkoff, who bet from middle position. Lipner raised, which got a fold from Miressi, but a three-bet from Wolkoff. Lipner called.

Lipner then check-called a bet from Wolkoff on the 10♦ turn before both players checked down on the K♠ river.

"Nines," Lipner announced as he tabled 9♥9♠.

Wolkoff nodded her head and sent her cards into the muck — awarding the large pot to Lipner.

Level 18 : Limits 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Gregory Sessler raised under the gun and was called by Jorge Ufano on the button. Nick Cipiti sat in the big blind then put in a two-bet and was called in both spots.

The flop came 4♦2♣7♥, Cipiti bet out and found two callers once more.

On the 9♣ turn Cipiti checked to Sessler who bet out. Ufano released his hand and Cipiti called.

The K♠ peeled off on the turn and Cipiti moved all in and was snap-called by Sessler who tabled 10♥9♥ for second pair. That had Cipiti's A♥Q♥ crushed and Cipiti was sent packing.

Somasekhar Sanampuri opened from the hijack and called a three-bet from Dara Taherpour in the cutoff.

Sanampuri then led out for bets and was called down by Taherpour on the 4♦J♣6♠ flop, K♠ turn, and Q♠ river.

Sanampuri turned over A♥J♠ for a flopped pair of jacks and Taherpour slid his cards into the muck.

Level 18 : Limits 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

With around 90,000 in the middle and the board reading A♦8♣6♣9♠, Benjamin Marciano checked from the big blind. Peter Rho fired a bet, and Tsz Liu called on the button. Marciano opted to fold, leaving Rho and Liu heads-up.

The 3♦ completed the board, and both remaining players checked.

Rho tabled A♠4♠ for a pair of aces, but Liu revealed A♥4♥ for the same hand. With both players holding ace-four and playing the board in the same way, the pot was chopped.

All the money was in the middle pre-flop between Tom McCormick and Louis Werman and it was McCormick at risk.

Tom McCormick: J♦7♠ All in
Louis Werman: A♠2♠

McCormick needed help to stay alive and the dealer duly obliged on the J♣9♦Q♠ flop, nothing changed on the 6♠ turn but when the A♣ appeared on the river and gave Werman a higher pair, McCormick was sent to the rail.

Level 18 : Limits 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

Four ways on a flop of 8♥Q♠7♠ with Sven Gericke already all in from the small blind, Michael Solheim checked from under the gun, Robert Linchesky checked from the hijack, and Yuri Dzivielevski checked from the cutoff.

All three players continued to check down on the 8♦ turn and 6♦ river and Gericke showed A♦2♥. Solheim held K♦10♣, Robert Linchesky tabled A♣J♣, and Dzivielevski revealed A♥J♦, meaning Dzivielevski and Linchesky split the pot.

Hansen Finishes Off Lee

Level 18 : Limits 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

After a flurry of preflop raises, Yongjae Lee was left with only 8,000 chips behind. Ni Hansen put him all in before the dealer had the chance to table the flop, and Lee made the call, sending the cards on their backs.

Yongjae Lee: A♣K♠All in
Ni Hansen: Q♦Q♥

The flop came 10♣5♠8♣, keeping Hansen's queens in front. The Q♣ turn improved Hansen to a set, but it also gave Lee additional outs for a flush draw and a gutshot straight draw. One player at the table even commented, "That's a good card for you."

However, Lee's hopes were short-lived. The 10♠ river paired the board, giving Hansen a full house and ending Lee's tournament run.
