Vaughn Michaud opened from the hijack and Kai Nicholls called from the cutoff. Michael Wasserman three-bet to 12,000 and Michaud called. Nicholls moved all in for 44,200 and Wasserman folded. Michaud, who already had a healthy stack after returning from the break, snap called.
Kai Nicholls: A♦K♠
Vaughn Michaud: 7♣7♦
It was a classic flip, with Nicholls just behind in the race. He was hoping to pick up but the 9♠5♦J♥ didn't bring much to work with. The 4♦ turn and 8♠ river saw to his elimination and Michaud scooped the pot, putting him as the chip leader in the second level of the Main Event Day 2abc.

Hui Wang opened to 2,000 under the gun before Pablo Iparraguirre jammed for 13,600 on his direct left. On the button, Frederic Normand min-four-bet, and Wang got out of the way.
Pablo Iparraguirre: 10♠10♦
Frederic Normand: A♣K♣
It was a coinflip scenario as the J♦6♠2♣ flop kept Iparraguirre in the lead, but Normand picked up some backdoor draws. However, nothing materialized on the 2♦J♠ runout, and Iparraguirre's tens remained best to secure the double.

Sitzoukis called a 6,500 bet from Hellmuth on the 7♣4♠10♦ flop and an 11,000 barrel from Hellmuth on the 2♦ turn.
Hellmuth announced a dark check before the dealer brought the A♥ on the river and Sitzoukis checked behind.
"Eights," Hellmuth said as he turned over 8♥8♣. Sitzoukis revealed Q♠Q♦ and was sent the pot.
"On any other card I'm bombing the river!" Sitzoukis said.

Cemm showed K♠5♠ for top pair, but Kingstone had A♠K♥ and was ahead with his ace-kicker. The river was the J♣ and Kingstone secured the pot to send Cemm to the rail.

On the 4♠ turn, McGinnis checked again to Hellmuth who announced a bet of 10,000, and McGinnis quickly folded, prompting Hellmuth to slam J♥J♦ into the middle.
The very next hand, Sonny Franco opened to 2,000 from the hijack and Hellmuth three-bet to 7,700 from the cutoff, which Franco called.
On the Q♦J♥6♠ flop, Franco check-folded to a bet of 4,200 from Hellmuth, who collected back-to-back three-bet pots.
