It is a great feeling to make Day 2 of the Main Event but it is also a terrible feeling anytime you bust. Justin Moodley managed to condense those feelings as he has just feelings as he has just been eliminated.
Moodley has started as the short stack on his table, had gotten a bit shorter and was then all in with 
. Charles Clark called him with 
.
The board ran out 
.
No good for Moodley and his Main Event came to an end.
Alex Greenblatt raised to 1,500 in middle position and was called by Dominik Nitsche on the button. The flop came

On a completed board of 
, Jason Koon bet 12,500, just a bit under the size of the pot. Nikesh Parmar thought about a minute and called, and Koon flipped over 
for a flopped flush. Parmar showed 
for the nut straight, and the dealer turned it back over and shipped Koon the pot.
We found Zu Zhou in the small blind with what may have been a four-bet in front of him, facing a reraise from Jesse Steinberg on the button. Zhou jammed all in after thinking awhile, for 32,200. Steinberg called with 
and it was off to the races with Zhou holding

The board ran out

A raise from early position was called by Marcelo Asensio, James Chen in the small blind, and William Kassouf in the big blind, making a four-way pot going to the flop.
"Big pot coming," Kassouf said.
Action checked around on the 
flop.
"Cooler flop," Kassouf said.
On the turn, Chen checked to Kassouf.
"I'm gonna figure out where I'm at," Kassouf said. He put out a bet of 4,000. Only Asensio called.
On the river, it looked as if Kassouf might bet again. He grabbed a T5,000 chip, then decided to check. "Let's just keep it friendly," he said. "I checked.
Asensio then checked behind and showed 
.
"Wow!" Kassouf said. "What a cooler!" He showed 
. "It could've got in there on the turn," Kassouf continued. "A little check, raise, jam, raise, all in."
The pot was pushed to Asensio and Kassouf continued ranting.
Following the river of a 
board with about 11,000 in the pot, the player in the big blind bet 4,600 and Jonathan Roy called from under the gun.
The player in the big blind showed 
for kings and tens, Roy mucked, and his opponent collected the pot.
One of the characters from last year's Main Event was Alex Keating. Keating is easily identifiable with his long beard and his unorthodox approach to sitting — he is often crouched on his chair like a catcher.
Keating didn't take long to start chatting up Maxime Heroux, who he refers to as Max.
On this hand, a player opened to 1,500 and Heroux made it 3,700. Keating was in the small blind.
"How much?" he said very deliberately.
Then he raised to 15,000. The original raiser folded and Heroux took a moment before folding as well.
"Right in your face Max," Keating said tossing the face up across the table ala Gambit.
"How did that feel Max?"
The table broke out in laughter when Heroux responded with only a blank look.
