The 32 remaining players in Day 2 are now on their first 15-minute break of the day and will return to action momentarily.
The complete action was missed on the hand, but Kyna England moved all in preflop with AxQx and was called by Kenneth Douglas with KxKx to put her at risk.
The board did not provide any help to England and her stack of around 265,000 was shipped over to Douglas to further pad his chip lead while she hit the rail.

On a heads-up board of Q?J?3?J?, there was a sizeable pot brewing when Robert Kasawdish moved all in and Curt Kohlberg snap-called to put him at risk.
Kasawdish flipped over Q?7? for queens and jacks but Kohlberg had him crushed with A?J? for trip jacks. Kasawdish was gathering his things and standing up but quickly sat back down when the Q? smacked on the river to give him the superior full house, which got a reaction from the table.
Kohlberg handled it quite well as a large chunk of his chips were shipped over to Kasawdish.

On a heads-up flop of 9?2?K?, there was already around 90,000 in the middle when Robert Fortuno moved all in for 102,000. The action was then on chip leader Kenneth Douglas who thought for a few seconds before he decided to make the call to put Fortuno at risk.
Robert Fortuno: A?9?
Kenneth Douglas: K?10?
Fortuno needed some help to stay alive, but the runout of 2?K? only improved Douglas to trips and he was sent to the payout desk.

After some preflop back-and-forth, all the chips found their way into the middle between Leslie Autenreith and Eric Helton, who covered.
Leslie Autenreith: A?K?
Eric Helton: Q?Q?
Helton started off ahead in the most classic of flips, but the flop of 3?K?8? was not what he wanted to see as Autenreith hit her king. The runout of 2?3? was no help to Helton and the pot was hipped over to Autenreith for a double-up.
Unfortunately for Helton, he was left short and found the rail two hands later

Timothy Vu opened to 15,000 and was three-bet to 40,000 by Dana Katzenmeier. The action folded back to Vu who made the call and the two went heads-up to the flop of 10?4?Q?.
Vu then led out for 50,000, and after a few moments, Katzenmeier moved all in for 103,000 total.
"Aghh, I bet that much so I could fold, but now I don't know what to do!" Vu scratched his head for a few seconds but eventually made the call to put his opponent at risk.
Dana Katzenmeier: K?J?
Timothy Vu: J?10?
Vu was surprised to find he was actually in the lead with his pair of tens, but the turn changed that when it came the K? to improve Katzenmeier to a pair of kings. The board completed with the brick 7? and Katzenmeier was awarded the pot for a double.
