Day 2 of Event #15: $10,000 Heads Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship began with 32 players, 16 of whom would not make the money. Payouts started after the first round of the day at $26,711. Those who busted in the Sweet Sixteen, taking home $24,881, included Moritz Dietrich, Jason Les, Taylor Paur, Russell Thomas, Dario Sammartino, Dan Smith, Joe McKeehen and Chris Moore.

The quarterfinals ended with just four players moving on while the other four — Ryan Fee, Jack Duong, Olivier Busquet and Ryan Hughes — were eliminated but took home $56,909 for their efforts.

John Smith has advanced to the final four and is no stranger to this stage of the game; he finished second to Alan Percal in the 2016 $10,000 Heads Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship.

The Final Four bracket is below and play will be staggered as all matches will be held on the main stage in Brasilia until we have a champion.

The first match of John Smith vs. Ryan Riess will begin at 3 p.m. The second match between Charlie Carrel and Adrian Mateos will begin immediately after, and the winner of each of those matches will play heads up in the last round for $324,470 and a gold bracelet.
