Robert Glasspool started the day with a very healthy stack and when he walked away from one of the outer featured tables he told us about how his day went.
He started out losing aces v queens for quite a chunk of his stack and then he lost a coin flip with jacks against ace-king. He was left with about 20 big blinds.
He lost his final big blinds with ace-queen against eight-seven suited and that was the end of Glasspool's Main Event.
With 25,000 in the middle and the turn showing 
, Daniel Merrilees bet 15,000 from the under-the-gun position and Jitender Amar moved all in. Merrilees asked for a count, and the shove of Amar was for 55,300 in total. Merrilees then asked for the 15,000 to be pulled in and the pot to be spread before eventually releasing his cards into the muck.
Amar flashed the 
for a flush.
Eli Elezra limped in from early position and Mario Sequeira raised to 3,800 directly to his left. The small blind jammed all in for 5,400 and the action was back on Elezra. First, he made sure that the door was not open for Sequeira to re-raise, then Elezra and Sequeira both called.
The flop fell 
and both remaining players checked to the 
on the turn. Elezra tossed in a bet of 4,000 and Sequeira called to create a side pot. Elezra tossed in another bet of 4,000 before the 
landed on the river. Sequeira raised to 20,000 and Elezra quickly folded face up.
Sequeira showed 
for quad kings to take the side pot and the all-in player also mucked his hand. Sequeira raked in both pots and climbed to over 85,000, his peak for the day thus far.
Except the guy he just bluffed.
Lexy Gavin was involved in quite the pot. The flop was 
and there was already about 39,000 in the pot. Gavin's opponent had 16,000 laying in front of him and had about 38,000 behind. Gavin pushed all in covering her opponent and he went in the tank.
After a couple of minutes, he chose to let go of his hand and Gavin won a nice pot and started to expand her tower of orange chips.
Eric Hicks has been among the leaders for the last couple of levels and has just recently crossed the 500,000 chip mark. The first to do so.
Hicks has been getting a lot of camera time lately and it has been rightfully earned. A colorful and talkative character rocking his bright red WSOP hoodie and a flashy USA hat.
While standing around him, Hicks informed PokerNews of how he came to be in the Main Event. While bored on Sunday, Hicks contemplated leaving so he could go to work on Monday. Hicks fired up the WSOP.com online poker client and noticed a $200 Main Event Scramble with guaranteed $10,000 seats to the Main Event.
Fast forward some hours later, Hicks was an overwhelming chipleader, riding around the Rio drinking with his friends and hopping bars with his tablet perched up on the front basket of the scooter while the other players in the online satellite scratched and clawed to win their way in.
Hicks easily won the seat and here he is, chipleading the WSOP Main Event on Day 2.
Moundir Zoughari opened to 2,700 from middle position. Matt Giannetti, in the big blind, called.
The dealer spread a flop of 
. Giannetti checked. Zoughari bet 10,000. Giannetti check-raised to 26,500. Zoughari responded by moving all in for 50,200. Giannetti snap-called.
Moundir Zoughari: 
Matt Giannetti:
The 
turn and 
river completed the board and Giannetti doubled up.
Jesus Martinez peeled aces on the button and squeezed over a raise from early position and a flat-call. Both players called him and we arrived for the action on the 
flop where Martinez fired 7,000 in position. The opener check-raised to 21,000, getting rid of the third player. Martinez matched the price and they saw the 
hit the felt.
Martinez faced a bet of 40,000 and pushed all his chips towards the middle, making it just 1,400 more. His rival called with 
but Martinez' 
prevailed after the river.
On a flop two players checked and a third bet 4,400. Samuel Bernabeu called and the other two players folded. The turn was a king. It checked to Bernabeu who bet and the other player folded.
Bernabeu turned over 
for flopped quads and took down the pot.
