Chad Eveslage raised from the cutoff and found one caller in Ben Yu from the big blind.
Ben Yu check-called bets all the way down from Eveslage on the 10♠9♣A♣ flop, A♦ turn, and 5♦ river.
"Queens," Eveslage announced as he tabled Q♥Q♦.
They were no good, however, as Yu tabled A♠7♣ for trip aces and the pot.
In the first hand, Daniel Negeranu raised from the cutoff and was called by Robert Como in the big blind.
Como check-called a bet from Negreanu on the 9♣3♦10♦ flop, but then check-raised facing a second bet from Negreanu on the A♠ turn. Negreanu quickly folded.
On the next hand, Negreanu raised from the hijack and was three-bet by Como in the small blind. Negreanu called.
Negreanu called a bet from Como on the 9♠2♥4♥ flop, but let his hand go facing another bet from Como on the A♦ turn.
At another table, Joao Vieira busted.
Chad Eveslage raised from under the gun and Nate Silver was the lone caller from the small blind. The flop ws 4♣K♥J♠.
Silver and Eveslage exchanged one bet on the flop and the turn was 6♦. Silver check-raised Eveslage on the turn and the call brought 10♣ on the river.
Silver fired a bet on the river and turned over K♣J♣ when Eveslage called. Eveslage flashed the losing A♥K♠ and tossed it in the muck.
Meanwhile, Brian Clark is one of the latest casualties.
Phil Hellmuth was all in for his remaining chips on a 5♥7♣Q♦ flop against Carlo Van Ravenswoud.
Phil Hellmuth: 9♣9♦
Carlo Van Ravenswoud: A♣Q♠
Ravenswoud had Hellmuth drawing slim with his pair of queens, and the Q♥ turn and 6♦ river were of no help — sending the 16-time bracelet winner to the rail early on Day 2.
Bill Klein raised from middle postion and was three-bet by Motoyoshi Okamura on the button. Action folded back around to Klein, who called.
Klein check-called bets from Okamura on the 10♠9♠A♥ flop and 7♣ turn.
Both players checked on the A♠ river and Klein tabled Q♣10♠ for tens and aces. Okamura couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Klein.

Max Kruse and Mori Eskandani raised each other enough to reach the cap (20,000 for this level) for a bloated heads-up pot.
The flop came 9♦9♣4♥ and Kruse check-raised a bet from Eskandani all in to be put at risk.
Max Kruse: Q♠Q♣
Mori Eskandani: K♣K♥
Eskandani had Kruse in terrible shape, and the K♦ turn left Kruse drawing dead.
An irrelevant 10♦ completed the board and Eskandani collected the rest of Kruse's chips.
