Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante

for queens full. Yockey mucked, leaving the pot to the 2016 bracelet winner.

Defending Champion Loren Klein Eliminated
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Pot-Limit Omaha
Loren Klein will not be repeating his performance from last year in this tournament when he won it all for $241,427. Klein started the day short and was seated in the big blind when Ivan Naumov opened to 3,000 in late position. Klein three-bet to 9,600, more than half his stack, and Naumov called.
On the 
flop, the rest of Klein's chips went in.
Loren Klein: 
Ivan Naumov: 
Klein needed the board to pair to survive, but the 
on the turn and 
on the river didn't help the defending champion.

"Payout!" "Payout!"
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
With the bubble bursting late last night, all returning players secured at least a min-cash in this event. Short stacks have therefore been happy to get their money in in droves, resulting in "Payout!" sounding frequently all across the Miranda ballroom.
One of the players to end up empty-handed was Jeremy Tinsley, who busted against Stephen Johnson. Tinsley held 
and looked okay to survive against Johnson's — until the river, that is:

Shuffle Up and Deal
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Play is underway here on Day 2 and the first game seeing action will be no-limit hold'em. Players are in the money now, so anyone busting will leave with at least some consolation this afternoon.
