Shaun Deeb re-entered to bring the field up by nearly half compared to the end of Day 1 and Ren Lin then entered for his first bullet. There are currently 30 players out of 61 entries remaining but both figures are subject to frequent change.
Heads-up to the K♣10♠2♦ flop, Leszek Badurowicz check-called out of the big blind for 11,500 when Nino Pansier bet on the button. The 9♥ came on the turn and Badurowicz checked again, Pansier bet the pot and won the hand without resistance.
One table over, Jan-Peter Jachtmann limped under the gun and Thomas Eychenne raised to 13,500. Samuel Albeck on the button and Jachtmann called. They all checked down the 5♠4♥2♠5♦J♦ runout and Jachtmann flashed the A♦K♦ first. Eychenne had hit the jack but Albeck won the pot with the Q♥Q♦9♥7♥ for queens up.
A pot of 27,500 had brewed, in a hand between Jose Scarano in the big blind and Max Neugebauer in middle position, with the board reading J♦10♠5♦.
Scarano led out with a bet of 15,000, Neugebauer raised to 72,000, and Scarano moved his 97,500 total stack into the middle. Neugebauer made the quick call.
Jose Scarano; A♦Q♥Q♦2♦ 
Max Neugebauer: J♣10♣10♦9♦
Neugebauer was ahead with a set of tens, versus Scarano's overpair queens and gutshot.
The 9♠ turn was a brick, but the K♥ hit on the river to give Scarano the nut straight.
Level: 11
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
Ante: 4,000
The cards of Colossus champion Jose Gomez Casillas were just mucked when he paid off a double for 81,500 to Vadim Zakharyan with the latter having flopped a set and improving to a flush on the turn of a A♦K♣7♦9♦8♦ board with the K♠K♥Q♦3♦.
The same table had lost Jan-Peter Jachtmann who re-entered soon after, which also applied for Tomasz Kozub and Robert Cowen.
Tomasz Kozub opened to 10,500 from the cutoff, and received calls from Anh Do and Martin Kabrhel in the blinds.
The K♥10♥9♥ flop was checked to the 4♦ turn, where Do checked before Kabrhel led out with a bet of 15,000. Kozub folded but Do called.
The 4♠ river completed the board, and Do check-called a pot-sized bet of 64,500 from Kabrhel, for nearly all of his remaining stack.
Kabrhel tabled 10♣8♦7♠5♣, having turned second pair tens into a bluff, and Do took the pot with Q♣J♠10♦9♦ for the flopped king-high straight.
"Next time I bet double", quipped Kabrhel, as Do raked in the pot.
On the heads-up flop of 8♥5♠3♥, Dennis Weiss got it in for around 70,000 and was up against the very jovial Martin Kabrhel.
Dennis Weiss: A♥K♠J♣9♥
Martin Kabrhel: Q♥J♥9♠3♠
"What do you have? I have little Casino Royale and block your flush, so you don't have any chance," Kabrhel exclaimed. The 7♦ turn changed nothing but the Q♣ river gave Kabrhel the winning hand.
