Seiver, nominated for the second straight year for the Poker Hall of Fame, rolled over 7x5x4x3x2x for a pat wheel and Wagganer mucked, leaving himself with just 6,000.
Eli Elezra bet his last chips from the cutoff after the second draw and was up against Daniel Blum in the small blind.
Elezra tossed away a 9x and turned over 8x7x5x3x, while Blum had 9x6x4x3x2x. Elezra needed to improve to stay alive, but he caught the Ax and was sent to the rail.
Elezra forgot his sweater on his seat and his former tablemates called him back. "I thought I won the pot," Elezra joked.
Billy Baxter asked for one card on the second draw, and Philip Sternheimer stood pat. Baxter checked to Sternheimer, who committed his last 4,000 chips.
Baxter called and drew one. Sternheimer patted again before turning up his hand.
Philip Sternheimer: 8x5x4x3x2x 
Billy Baxter: 9x7x4x2x
Baxter was already drawing dead before flipping up the Jx to complete his hand, and Sternheimer collected his double-up.
Jason Daly, who had just taken his seat in the tournament, raised in the hijack and Ariel Mantel three-bet in the cutoff. Daly called and took one, while Mantel drew two.
Daly led out with a bet and Mantel called. Both players drew one and Daly bet again. Mantel called and drew one, while Daly stood pat.

Wong then bet from the cutoff, and Shak called on the button. Miki and Wong took one, and Shak two. Wong then bet again, and Shak folded.

"I haven't played this game in 15 years," John Juanda said as he took his seat on Day 2.
"You'll do just fine," Gus Hansen yelled over from another table.
Juanda and Michael Rodrigues then went to the first draw where Juanda bet from the cutoff. Rodrigues called in the small blind.
Rodrigues drew two and Juanda stood pat. Juanda then bet, and Rodrigues called.
Rodrigues took one more, and Juanda again stood pat. Rodrigues then led out with a bet, Juanda raised, and Rodrigues called.
