Fresh off winning a pot against Adrian Mateos, Koray Aldemir got back in the saddle on the very next hand.
Mateos raised to 80,000 in late position, which Aldemir called in the small blind.
Brian Kim, who was in the big blind, moved all in for 430,000 and Mateos flatted. Aldemir, who had Kim covered, then back-raised all in, which forced Mateos out of the hand and the hands were tabled.
Brian Kim: K♣Q♣
Koray Aldemir: 10♠10♥
The dealer fanned 10♦6♥9♦, giving Aldemir top set and Kim a gut-shot straight draw. The turn showed 4♦, and then 4♣ on the river gave Aldemir a full house and sealed the hand.

Dan Smith just lost a healthy pot to Cary Katz and was then forced to pay the big blind. The action folded to Yang Wang on the button who shoved all in with two small stacks in the blinds. Smith peeled his cards and then quickly called off his stack of just under 600,000.
Dan Smith: A♥K♣
Yang Wang: A♠2♠
The flop came J♣4♦3♦ and Wang picked up extra outs with a straight draw. The 9♠ on the turn changed nothing but the 5♦ on the river gave Wang a straight to eliminate Smith.

Jonathan Jaffe raised in late position, and Jake Schindler called.
Chamath Palihapitiya then moved all in with 345,000 out of the big blind, getting calls from Jaffe and Schindler, both of whom had Palihapitiya covered.
The dealer placed 9♠10♥K♦ on the board, which Schindler checked. Jaffe then bet 75,000, which drew an immediate fold from Schindler. The cards were then tabled.
Chamath Palihapitiya: A♠4♦
Jonathan Jaffe: K♣10♣
Jaffe flopped two pair, and the 2♠ on the turn had Palihapitiya drawing dead. The 10♦ on the river was a formality, but it gave Jaffe a full house to send Palihapitiya to the rail.
After being down to 160,000 in the first level of Day 2, Jaffe has turned it around.

Seth Davies raised to 100,000 in the hijack and Kristen Foxen shipped all in for 570,000 from the small blind. Davies asked for a count and used a time bank before flicking in the call.
Kristen Foxen: A♠9♣
Seth Davies: J♠10♠
The board ran out Q♠5♣5♦3♣4♦ and Foxen's ace-high was enough to prevail for a double-up and leave Davies on the short stack.

Gregory Jensen pushed all in for a little over 800,000 in early position and was called by Andrew Lichtenberger with 95,000 in the small blind and Noah Schwartz with 630,000 in the big blind.
Andrew Lichtenberger: 5♠5♣
Noah Schwartz: 7♥7♦
Gregory Jensen: A♠J♣
The flop came 7♠6♥3♥ and Schwartz took a commanding lead with a set of sevens. Lichtenberger made a straight on the 4♦ turn card and held on through the 2♠ on the river. Lichtenberger earned a triple-up, Schwartz doubled up on the side pot, and Jensen was left with around 200,000 after the hand but busted shortly after.

A battle of the blinds quickly escalated.
David Peters raised 175,000 in the small blind, an action that prompted Mikita Badziakouski to move all in. Peters, who had his opponent covered, quickly called.
Mikita Badziakouski: A♣3♦
David Peters: 9♦9♣
The board ran out K♣K♦5♠ on the flop, which kept Peters in the lead. The 6♦ on the turn and 7♣ on the river didn’t improve Badziakouski’s hand and he was sent to the rail.

Chance Kornuth raised 100,000 on the button and received a call from Freddy Deeb in the small blind. Jans Arends folded in the big blind.
The dealer placed 7♦10♣A♣ on the board, which Deeb checked. Kornuth bet 50,000, and then saw Deeb check-raise to 125,000.
The action slowed down, as Kornuth shifted in his seat to stare at Deeb for a few seconds. Kornuth then looked down at Deeb’s stack, which Kornuth covered.
Kornuth then moved all in, which saw Deeb immediately flick his cards in the muck.
