Niveau 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

A pot of around 200,000 was already in the middle as Luis Dono and Rayan Chamas went to the river on a board of K♣A♦J♣Q♣Q♥. Dono, in the big blind, tanked for a few minutes as he considered the action.

While Dono was thinking, Mary Anne Madruga asked Phil Hellmuth if she could take a picture with him. She handed her phone to another tablemate who snapped a few photos. "Give me that phone, you're doing a bad job," Hellmuth joked as he then took the phone and captured a few selfies with Madruga.

Dono finally checked and Chamas moved all in, easily covering Dono's remaining 195,000. Dono snap-mucked. "That was a fun one," Chamas said as he took the pot.

Kayla Voogd: A♦6♣
Stephen Buell: Q♦Q♥
Ren Lin: 8♣8♥

The board ran out K♦10♥10♠3♦4♦ and Buell's queens stayed in the lead to earn him a double up off Lin, while Voogd was left waiting to collect her payout.

Niveau 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

David Goodman was all in for 130,000 from early position and up against Jose Nadal in the cutoff.

David Goodman: K♠10♦
Jose Nadal: A♣A♦

Nadal had woken up with aces and was poised to send Goodman out as the A♠J♥9♦ flop gave him top set. The turn, though, came the Q♠ and Goodman made a straight to take the lead.

Nadal needed the board to pair to fill up but instead saw the 5♣ fall on the river as Goodman found a miracle to stay alive.

Song Eliminates Two

Niveau 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

All the chips went into the middle preflop with Chak Lam Tsang in early position at risk for 80,000. Ryan Belz also had his tournament life on the line for 154,000. They were both covered by Wan-Jhen Song in the big blind.

Chak Lam Tsang: A♥8♦
Ryan Belz: A♦Q♥
Wan-Jhen Song: 10♦10♥

Song was ahead and both of her opponents couldn't connect with the K♦5♦3♣8♥J♣ board which sent both Belz and Tsang to the pay desk, while Song scooped in a huge pot.

Petar Kalev: J♦10♦

Elezra Chips Up Off Zamani

Niveau 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Action caught up on the turn in a hand between Marin Zamani in early position and Hall of Famer Eli Elezra in middle position, with Elezra calling a bet of 70,000 on a board reading K♠9♠3♠7♠.

The river brought a second seven in the form of the 7♣ and an unusual request from Zamani.

"Can I just fold?" Asked Zamani to a table of laughs.

"Wait, why can't he fold?" Replied Elezra.

Zamani would check-fold to a bet of 20,000 from Elezra and Zamani's question, perhaps not serious in the moment, was clarified by a floor call that yes, you can open fold in that situation.

There Is No Stopping Udornpim

Niveau 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The brash style of Nitis Udornpim is working wonders on Day 2 of the Hall of Fame Bounty. The boisterous character has moved into seven figures partly thanks to knocking out Frenchman Louis Le Boisselier.

Udornpim and Le Boisselier got all of their chips into the middle on the flop of 6♦4♣2♣ with a total pot of around 450,000. Udornpim tabled 7♦7♥, while Le Boisselier had A♥6♥. The board finished with the 3♠Q♥ to give Udornpim the massive pot.

Owen Savir: A♠Q♣
Phil Hellmuth: J♦J♣

It was a flip going into the flop but the final runout of 6♣8♣8♥5♠3♠ secured the elimination for Hellmuth and sent Savir to the payout desk.

Straight on the River for Korenev
