Action folded to Phillip Sternheimer who raised in the hijack. Then the small blind Chip Jett three-bet, before Jonathan Williams in the big blind put in a four bet. Sternheimer made the call, and Jett was all in for his last 3,000 chips.
With Jett all in, Sternheimer and Williams checked the Q♦J♣3♥ flop, and the 2♥ turn.
After the 7♣ on the river, Williams checked to Sternheimer who bet and forced Williams to fold.
Sternheimer took the side pot and tabled A♥10♥4♦4♣ for a pair of fours and an ace-four low. Jett showed A♣Q♠Q♥3♦ for a set of queens to take the high, and having no low, he and Sternheimer chopped the pot.
Just after Yehuda Buchalter had busted, Corey Hochman raised from the cutoff and Jason Bigelow called in the small blind while Jon Turner called in the big blind.
The flop rolled out 5♠Q♦8♠ and action checked over to Hochman who bet all in and both players called.
Everyone checked the A♠K♠ runout.
Corey Hochman: A♦J♠4♣3♦
Jon Turner: K♦J♦5♦2♥
Jason Bigelow: J♥9♣3♣2♠
Turner had rivered kings up while Bigelow held the nut-low, leaving Hochman with a two-way hand to play for neither half of the pot and he was eliminated.

A storyline to follow for Day 2 is the player of the year race between Jeremy Ausmus (147,500) and Scott Seiver (78,000). Seiver is looking for his record breaking fourth gold bracelet in a single summer. Despite the three gold bracelets he's won at the 2024 World Series of Poker, Seiver has not yet locked up the 2024 Player of the Year. That’s because Ausmus has made six final tables this summer, which includes finishing second in Event #47: $100,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em. With the series nearing an end, Ausmus will need another deep run if he wants to snatch the Player of the Year award away from Seiver.
Scott Seiver
There are several other legends of the poker world returning for Day 2, including Main Event Champion and five-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Scotty Nguyen (155,500).

The players are expected to reach the money at some point during Day 2, but of the 141 returning players, only 54 will make the money. The top prize is $206,321, with a min cash being worth $6,051.
Action will resume at 1 p.m. local time on July 12, with players beginning play in Level 13 with 4,000-8,000 betting limits. Players will complete ten one-hour long levels and will have a 15-minute break after every two levels, and a 60-minute dinner break after Level 18.
