Stud Hi-Lo Regular
Chad Eveslage: 2♦3♠6♥4♣5♣A♥10♠
Jeff Lisandro: 2♣5♦3♦4♥6♠6♣K♦
The boards of both players were already mashed to display the hand strength and Chad Eveslage took three quarters of the pot with a six-high straight and superior low. By doing so, Eveslage moved up to nearly half a million in chips to continue his early rise on Day 2.

Caleb Shumard had just chopped a pot and then raised it up, called the all-in of Dennis Eichhorn for just 16,000. Eichhorn drew two while Shumard took one before both then took one on the second draw.
On the final draw, Shumard patted and Eichhorn drew one as the following cards were exposed.
Dennis Eichhorn: 8♦7♥5♠4♣
Caleb Shumard: 9♥ / 7♦6♥4♠3♣
Eichhorn was behind with an eight Badugi but spiked the 3♠ as his final card to survive with the superior low hand.
In the meanwhile, Adam Owen was eliminated in a Stud Hi-Lo Regular hand to bow out.

Upon completion of the final draw, Michael Noori bet and that sent Matt Vengrin into the tank. He carefully checked his stack and the bets he had behind. "I'll probably just gonna fold ... you have to have it?!" he said in table chat.
Vengrin then folded half a minute later and Noori exposed the 6♦ / 7♠5♣3♥2♦ before scooping the pot. The table broke right after as the field was down to just 54 players.

In a duel small blind versus button, a raising war broke out upon completion of the first draw. Dylan Smith had discarded two while Gregory Kelley took one. Smith bet, Kelley raised and then called the all-in of Smith for another 3,500 more on top.
Smith took one new card each on the final two draws while Kelley patted and the latter then exposed his 6♦ / 7♠5♦3♣2♥ for a seven-seven. Smith briefly showed his 8♥ / 8♦6♠3♥2♣ for an eight-eight and that spelled the end for him.

Limit Omaha 8 or Better
Picking action up on the flop, Phil Hui was all in for his last 29,000 on the button with the board reading 4♦4♣J♥.
Dekel Balas bet from the small blind which got a fold from Marco Johnson in the big blind to leave the pot heads-up.
Phil Hui: J♠9♣7♣6♠
Dekel Balas: A♣5♣4♠3♠
Hui's jacks and fours needed help against Balas' trip fours, but after the board ran out 2♦2♣, no help came for the three-time bracelet winner and he became the latest post-bubble bustout.

With the boards already mashed, Andrew Park got out of his chair with a 10x7x7xAx8x2x exposed. Matt Vengrin showed his cards and declared an eight perfect, which ended up as the winning hand and sending Park to the payout desk.
