Nick Palma moved all in for his last 27,000 from under the gun and was called by Rainer Kempe one seat over.
Nick Palma: 10♥9♥
Rainer Kempe: 8♠8♥
"Classic flip" joked Palma as the cards were turned on their back. The 4♣2♥9♠ flop vaulted Palma into the lead as Kempe was left looking to make a set to score the knockout. The Q♦ turn changed nothing with the 2♦ river completing the board to hand Palma a small double.

Eli Berg: A♦Q♠
The 5♠Q♣A♥ flop vaulted Berg into the lead and the 4♦ turn and 10♥ river were of no help to Ausmus, who was sent out early in Day 2.

In a blind versus blind battle, the pot stood at 39,000 as the board read Q♥Q♠Q♣3♥. Yulian Bogdanov checked from the small blind. Barak Wisbrod in the big blind bet out for 26,000 and Bogdanov called.
The A♦ on the river saw Bogdanov check again. Wisbrod thought for some time before electing to move all in, putting Bogdanov to the test for his effective stack of approximately 100,000. Bogdanov eventually folded and Wisbrod won this pot without a showdown.

Alexandre Reard was heads-up from the hijack against Hwany Lee in the big blind on a 5♠10♣4♣ flop. Lee check-called a 10,000 bet from Reard and both players checked on the Q♥ turn.
The 5♥ filled the river and Lee checked again — prompting a 24,000 bet from Reard. Lee let his hand go and Reard dragged the pot.
Reard, who won his first bracelet back in 2021 in a $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em event, has built his stack substantially in the first two levels and currently sits with over half a million in chips.

Mohammad Arani raised from the hijack to 6,500, finding Mike "The Mouth" Matusow in the small blind, who three-bet to 22,500.
Arani spent some time toying with both his cards and calling chips before finally deciding to fold.
"Smart guy!" Matusow announced "There's a smart guy right there" he continued while pointing at Arani. Matusow raked in the pot as he showed A♠A♣ to the table.
