Valantiejus: Q♥ 8♥

No straight for Valantiejus on the river 2♦ and he drops down to 240,000. Gorman climbs to 220,000.
On a raised pot on the board 5♦ 8♦ 8♣ J♠ J♦, John Tech shoved on the river with a stack worth roughly 90,000. Tech’s opponent, Min Soo Kim tanked for a long time, even flashed his Q♦ before making the fold.
Tech shows him 7♦ 7♥ and Soo Kim could only shake his head. Tech jumps to over 160,000.
Fernan Uy ( A♣ J♦) shoved his final 27,000 and Zhang Weiji 7♥ 7♦ isolated the action by moving all of his 104,000 to the middle.
Everyone folded to bring the flop J♥ 3♦ 3♥– giving the advantage to the short-stacked Uy. Turn K♦ and river 9♠ was safe for Uy, who doubles up to over 55,000.

Just before the final break and final level today, Martynas Valantiejus busted out an opponent holding K♥ 9♥ in a board where he turned a flush. Looks like he’s taken leadership overall for Day 2 with nearly 400,000.
Tan Chong opened to 6,500 and got re-raised by Herbert Baum to 17,000. Chong moved all-in for a total of 41,200. Baum called.

Claudia Yum moved all-in for his final 30,000 with 6♠ 6♣. She got a caller in Hieu Le, who held A♣ K♠.
Le immediately grabbed the lead on the flop K♣ 4♣ 4♠ and never relinquished it on the turn 3♣ and river 10♠.
Hieu Le has now around 100,000 while Yum is out of the main event.
With a large-sized pot of over 30,000 and a board of 2♠ 5♣ 8♣ 8♥, Jun Funabashi checked his option and saw Kai Paulsen bet 12,500. Daniel Lim wanted a bigger one and raised to 30,500. Action went back to Funabashi, who shoved his final 80,000! Paulsen shoved (100K) shoved as well and Lim folded.

Funabashi: 8♦ 6♣
River 3♠ landed and busted out Funabashi. Paulsen has now over 240,000.
