A player in the cutoff raised to 2,500 before Max Kingstone moved all in for 22,000 on the button. Luigi Curcio called in the big blind, while the cutoff got out of the way.
Max Kingstone: A♥K♦ 
Luigi Curcio: Q♠Q♥
Kingstone pulled into the lead on the K♥J♦8♦ flop with a pair of kings. The 10♠ turn gave Curcio outs to a straight, but Kingstone held on through the 3♠ river to earn a double up.
Nathan Forrest had open-raised preflop and Oleksii Ievchenko and Gabriella Spallone called in the blinds. The K♠9♠5♦ flop then checked through before Forrest bet 3,600 on the 5♠ turn after two more checks.
Ievchenko raised to 9,000 and Spallone called. Forrest had seen enough and laid his hand down as the A♥ river to complete the board.
Ievchenko slowed down and checked, prompting Spallone to bet 21,000 chips. Ievchenko quickly called and was shown J♠7♠ by his opponent.
Ievchenko played the higher flush with his A♠8♠, however, and raked in the sizable pot.
A player in early position opened 2,500 and the hijack called before Nicholas Peterson called in the cutoff. Dylan Lemery was on the button and put in a three-bet to 12,000. The early position player put in another raise, making it 25,000, forcing the hijack and Peterson to snap-fold, while Lemery made the call.
When the J♥8♠7♥ flop hit the felt, the early position player continued for 22,000, and Lemery matched the bet.
The dealer rolled the 3♦ on the turn, and the early position player slowed down with a check. Lemery fired 22,500, and that was enough to earn the pot.
Faraz Jaka raised all in for 6,000 from under the gun, and when it folded to the button Joshua Timler, he made the call. Both of the blinds folded leaving the two players heads up, with Jaka at risk.
Faraz Jaka: A♦4♥
Joshua Timler: 3♦3♣
Timler was ahead with his pocket threes, but Jaka did have two over cards. After the flop came 3♥J♥7♥ it improved Timler to a set but it gave Jaka a flush draw as well. The 6♦ on the turn also gave Jaka additional outs with a straight draw. That straight draw came right in on the river when the 5♠ hit the felt, to improve Jaka to a seven high straight, and secure the double up.
Less than 20 tables still remain in the Paris Black section as the field continues to dwindle on Day 2.
Mauro Ferreira raised to 2,500 from under the gun. Luis Faria called in middle position. John Weiss then made it 7,300 from the button. Ferreira then four-bet to 17,000. Faria qucikly folded, Weiss took some time before he called.
The flop came 3♦A♣7♥. The hand continued to be interesting as Ferreira led for 7,500. Weiss raised to 21,000 and Ferreira called.
The turn was the K♣. Ferreira led again, this time for 40,000. Weiss folded after a few seconds and Ferreira took the substantial pot.
Arriving on a completed board of 5♥Q♥10♥Q♠2♦ with roughly 20,000 chips in the middle, Nathan Forrest checked out of middle position to Nick Eastwood in the cutoff.
Eastwood fired a bet of 11,200 and was quickly called by Forrest. Eastwood flashed his cards to Forrest, after which the latter tabled A♣10♣ for the winning two pair.
With around 15,000 in the pot on a flop of 6♥9♣Q♦, a player in middle position bet 5,500 and Carlos Alvarado called under the gun.
The turn was the 8♦ and Alvarado led out for 11,500. His opponent called and the 10♣ fell on the river.
Alvarado then bet 17,000 and his opponent called once more. Alvarado showed J♦10♦ for a turned straight and his opponent mucked.
