End of Day 2
Livello 8
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
And with that, we're finished for the day and it's a great line up for tomorrow including David Pham who has two bracelets, one in a $2,000 version of this very event. Also among the field are former bracelet winners Dan Kelly, Erik Cajelais, Frank Kassela and Vitaly Lunkin.
Tomorrow the format will be of a two table sit 'n' go with eight players at each table, all starting with 450,000 chips. With payout increases on each spot from now on, we're expecting tomorrow to be a very late day before we manage to find a winner.
The final day will start tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. We'll see you there!

Lunkin Slowplays Full House For the Win
Livello 8
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
We aren't entirely sure of how the action all specifically went down, but Frank Rusnak bet almost every street of his final hand with Vitaly Lunkin calling the whole way.
On the river, the board read 
and Rusnak bet 30,000. Lunkin then announced all in and Rusnak nearly snap called. Lunkin showed 
for a full house and the table win. One table to go!
Makowsky Beats Weil
Daniel Makowsky just eliminated Mark Weil to leave us with just two tables remaining.
Makowsky held 
all in preflop against Weil's 
and the board came an exciting looking 
. Makowsky looked incredibly relieved afterwards stating, "I'm never playing these shootouts again, I feel like I've lost five years off my life!"

The Dragon Beats Plens
David 'The Dragon' Pham put his chip lead to good use and Jonathan Plens never had a chance to get enough chips. The final hand saw Pham raise with 
and Plens pushed with 
and failed to find the ace to save his tournament life. Pham will go into tomorrow as one of the favourites no doubt.

Taylor Paur had Robbie Verspui down to around 70,000 in chips before a couple key hands put him back in the match.
Paur looked like he had the match wrapped up when he had Verspui all in with versus his 
but the board ran out
