The 14 remaining players have been sent on their last 15-minute break of the night.
When they return, they will play two more 60-minute levels before Day 2 wraps up.
In a limped pot to the K♥K♣J♥ flop, Zackary Estes bet 40,000 from the small blind. Jarred Graham called in the big blind, after which the duo checked through the K♠ turn.
Estes checked again on the A♠ river, prompting Graham to bet 100,000. Estes spent some time in thought before he flicked in calling chips, but he quickly mucked his cards when Graham tabled K♦10x4♠2♠ for quads.
Lawrence Chang tossed in his final 500,000 or so on the K♦6♥9♥ flop, and was looked up by Jeff Madsen in the big blind.
Lawrence Chang: A♦A♣J♣2♦
Jeff Madsen: A♠J♥9♣8♥
Chang's aces remained ahead on the 5♦ turn, but the 3♥ river spelled the end of his tournament run as Madsen made a flush to take down the pot.
Action was picked up as Brent Roberts was all-in against Stephen Hubbard.
Brent Roberts: J♦J♣A♦6♥
Stephen Hubbard: A♣K♥8♣9♣
The board ran out 8♥8♠4♠10♣7♣, and Roberts was eliminated in 16th place.
Joao Vieira made it 140,000 to play from the hiijack and was looked up by Ka Kwan Lau in the small blind.
On the 8♦7♣5♦ flop Lau led out for 160,000 only for Vieira to raise all in to 720,000. Lau double checked the count and made the call.
Joao Vieira: K♦K♥Q♦4♥
Ka Kwan Lau: A♦Q♥J♦6♣
Vieira was ahead but needed to dodge outs to stay alive. The 6♠ turn changed nothing but the 4♦ river gave both players their flushes and sent Vieira to the rail his being worse.
Over at another table, Kane Kalas was eliminated at the same time.
Joshua Pape raised to 105,000 from the cutoff, Jesse Lonis called on the button and the blinds folded.
Pape check-called a bet of 165,000 on a flop of 8♠4♥2♥. Lonis did not slow down on the 5♠ turn with a big bet of 480,000.
Pape thought for sometime before laying his hand down, then announced to the table "I had kings but I don't know."
Lonis asked, "did you have a heart?"
Pape responded with "no heart, no."
Justin Scott got his stack of 490,000 in on the button on the 6♣8♠10♠ flop, and was up against Edward Leonard under the gun.
Justin Scott: K♦Q♠9♠7♦
Edward Leonard: A♠A♦J♣7♠
Scott had flopped the nuts, and he faded Leonard's flush draw on the J♦A♥ runout to double up and cross the seven-figure mark.
In the final hand of the previous level, Jesse Lonis made it 105,000 to go under the gun, and Joshua Pape and Oliver White called in the blinds. Pape checked the K♠6♣5♠ flop over to White, who quickly put in a pot-sized bet of 345,000.
Lonis spent a while in the tank before giving up on the pot and mucking his cards, after which Pape put White all-in for about 150,000 more. White quickly called, risking his tournament life.
Oliver White: A♦8♣7♦4♣
Joshua Pape: A♣K♣Q♥3♠
Pape celebrated as the 2♣ turn presented him with the nut flush, locking up the pot for him. The meaningless 9♦ river completed the board as White said his goodbyes and headed to the payout desk.
Prior, Robert Mizrachi and David Eller were also knocked out of the tournament.
