Jimmy D'Ambrosio has sent another two players to the rail.
He recounted to PokerNews that he knocked out Andy Philachack with queen-jack against pocket tens preflop, in a rematch of a previous encounter.
He also knocked out another tablemate who shoved for 26,000 and D'Ambrosio called with seven-six holding a big stack. He turned two pair and sent the short stack to the rail who was holding ace-king suited.
"It's the toughest big blind in town," he said. "They are all on notice they can bust at any moment."
The TV cameras were focused on him as PN left, and he holds a big stack heading into the last level of the night.
Jolyne Thompson, the self-proclaimed "short-stack queen", open-jammed her final 24,500 from middle position and was called by the cutoff. The rest of the table folded.
Jolyne Thompson: 
Cutoff: 
The flop came

for the nut-flush as he scooped the pot.
Cedrric Trevino took the chip lead after Day 1a and has built up his stack to 418,000 so far on Day 2.
Patrick Hagenlocher, the Day 1b chip leader, has declined slightly from the 332,000 he began the day with to 290,000. He's wearing a jersey in memory of his daughter Izzy.
Asi Moshe opened to 3,500 from middle position, the hijack called, and Jonathan Depa raised to 16,000 on the button. Moshe called and the hijack folded.
The duo checked to the river on the 
board and Moshe bet 5,000. Depa called.
Moshe revealed

Todd Brunson limped from early position as did Daniel Rijmer out of the small blind. The big blind checked his option to send the three players to the flop.
Both blinds checked after the 
flop and Brunson led out for 4,000. Rijmer folded while the big blind raised to 9,000. Brunson was not going anywhere just yet and made the call.
The big blind promptly moved all in for 39,000 on the 
turn, sending Brunson deep into the tank. In the end, the poker hall of famer opted to pick a better spot and released his cards.
Just laid down the best hand cause some kid thought he was value betting. Was pretty certain he wasn’t bluffing. ######. 125k
