All of the chips went in the middle before the flop, and Jamin Thomas had his opponent at risk for 9,800 and both hands were on the backs.
Opponent: A♣9♣
Jamin Thomas: K♣Q♠
Thomas smashed the K♠10♠9♠ flop, making top pair and a straight flush draw. The J♠ turn improved him to a straight flush to send his opponent to the rail, and the 4♦ river was just a formality.
Following a raise to 2,500 and two callers, Muskan Sethi pushed all-in for her last 11,500 in the big blind. The initial raiser called but Brian Morgan then went all-in over the top to isolate successfully.
Muskan Sethi: A♠K♠
Brian Morgan: A♦A♣
"Don't think I can fold this time," Morgan had mentioned right before the cards were isolated and Sethi caught no miracle on the 9♦5♦4♣10♦8♥ runout to bow out in the second level of the day.
John Kabbaj opened to 2,300 from early position and was called by Faraz Jaka in the cutoff and the player in the big blind.
Action checked to Jaka on the J♦5♥A♦ flop and he bet 2,500. Only Kabbaj called.
The 5♠ fell on the turn and Kabbaj again checked to Jaka, who sized up for a bet of 6,000. This time Kabbaj let his hand go and Jaka added to his stack.
Meanwhile, Lindsey Kludt, Julien Martini, and Dominik Nitsche were all eliminated at other tables.
Action was picked up on the turn with the board showing K♣5♦2♣5♠ with roughly 26,800 in the pot.
Dylan Lemery bet 7,500 from early position, and Erik Seidel in the cutoff made the call.
After the 7♦ river, Lemery over bet the pot for 55,000. Seidel thought over his decision but decided to make the call.
Lemery tabled K♠K♥ for a full house, kings full of fives. Seidel patted the table and threw his cards in the muck.
Mark Stockton, who began the day with 260,700, has increased his stack up to around 400,000 so far on Day 2.
Jordan Siegel is also seated in this section, but his attention is focused on his son Mattingly seated two rows away.
Margarita Stoycheva had three-bet Ethan Bennett's open preflop, with the latter calling. Bennett then checked on the 10♠Q♠2♦ flop, after which Stoycheva added 3,000 chips to the 13,500 pot.
Bennett put in a big raise to 25,500. Stoycheva took some time before announcing her all-in, covering Bennett's remaining stack of 55,500.
Bennett quickly let his hand go and left himself with half a starting stack.
