The board was all but rushed away as Daniel Weinman raked in the pot with the ![{q-Hearts}](/img/cards/qh.gif)
, having beaten the ![{a-Clubs}](/img/cards/ac.gif)
of Brian Luo and the ![{a-}](/img/cards/ax.gif)
of Jonathan Pastore to leap up on the leaderboard.
On a king-high board, Weinman rivered a straight to score the double knockout.
One table over, the 2022 WSOP Main Event champion Espen Jorstad was all-in for the last 5,500 from under the gun. Clement Cure then pushed all-in for 27,000 and Alex Kulev jammed in the cutoff, all other players folded.

![{6-Diamonds}](/img/cards/6d.gif)
![{4-Clubs}](/img/cards/4c.gif)
![{3-Diamonds}](/img/cards/3d.gif)
and Jorstad was eliminated while Cure doubled through Kulev. With the Irishman being left on a short stack as a result, those last few chips vanished shortly after as the next high-profile casualty on Day 2 ensued.
