Day 2 Action
Defending champion Sami Bechahed got off to a hot start today, rivering a flush with ace-queen to knock out Maxx Coleman and Diego Sanchez. Bechahed was able to ride that momentum all the way to the end of the night, bagging 240,000. Meanwhile, Stephen Song, who just yesterday took down the $25,000 NAPT Super High Roller for $439,400, was not as fortunate and was eliminated in the first level of the day by Nicholas Marchington in a preflop collision that saw both players flop a set.
Other notables to fall short of the money today include Bill Klein, Nick Schulman, Barny Boatman, Jonathan Little, Jeremy Ausmus, Chino Rheem, Chance Kornuth, Parker Talbot, Patrick Leonard and Maria Ho. Christian Harder was also eliminated just a couple of spots shy of making the money after his pocket aces were cracked by Brock Wilson’s ace-queen.
The money bubble burst late in the night when Michael Lavenburg, holding pocket sixes, committed his short stack and was called by Jared Jaffee, who had pocket sevens. Lavenburg failed to improve and was eliminated on the stone bubble, after which all remaining players were guaranteed a min-cash of at least $8,900.
Bin Weng started the day with the chip lead and remained near the top of the counts throughout the first half. However, his run came to an end shortly after the money bubble burst. Weng made a move at the wrong time, four-bet shoving with ace-eight offsuit, only to run into Nikolai Tulin’s ace-king and failing to improve.
Among the notables to find a bag at the end of the night were David "ODB" Baker (693,000), Brian Yoon (558,000), Jared Jaffee (495,000), Dan Sepiol (382,000), Jeff Madsen (297,000), PokerStars Team Pro Maria Konnikova (243,000), Jonathan Tamayo (220,000), David Peters (180,000) and Marco Johnson (128,000). Others who made the money but were unable to survive until the end of the night were Erik Seidel (123rd - $8,900), Joe Serock (100th - $9,750), Nick Pupillo (93rd, $11,300), Ethan Yau (86th - $11,300) and Martin Jacobson (83rd - $11,300).

Heads up to completed board of Q♦4♦2♠3♥Q♣, Yayun Liu checked from middle position to Ky Nguyen on the button.
Nguyen cut out a bet of 80,000, about the size of the pot. Liu then check-jammed for 209,000 which sent Nguyen deep into the tank. After around two minutes, he finally put in the call.
Yayun Liu: A♦Q♥
Ky Nguyen: Q♠J♠
It was a cooler scenario with both players rivering trips. Liu collected the full double and made a massive dent in Nguyen's stack.
