Day 2
Recent Eliminations
Currently, 170 players are remaining, which means just eleven more eliminations are needed before the bubble bursts.
The shot clocks have been distributed to the tables, meaning players now have 30 seconds to act with each decision.
Edward Yam is among the recent bustouts after he three-bet shoved for around 70,000 from the small blind, and was put at risk by Aznar Ramdrick on the button.
Edward Yam: K♥ Q♥
Aznar Ramdrick: A♥ J♥
Yam couldn't connect with any piece of the 6♠ 4♥ 6♥ 6♦ 3♠ runout, which meant he was eliminated just shy of the money.

Smiljkvoic Leaps Up the Counts After Stacking Joshi
Neel Joshi was making his way through Day 2 quite smoothly and had run up his stack from 67,000 up to over 150,000, before he encountered a roadblock in Daniel Smiljkovic.
The action was a missed, but by the time the two got to showdown on the 8♣ 8♠ 4♦ J♦ A♥ board, Joshi and Smiljkovic had piled all of their chips into the middle.
Joshi had rivered top two holding A♠ J♥ , but unfortunately for him, Smiljkovic had turned top boat with J♠ J♣ to earn the knockout and the chunky pot.

Flight A
Smilijkovic Busts Li
Jun Li pushed all-in for a little over 30,000 on a board of 4♣ A♣ 5♥ J♥ T♦ and Daniel Smilijkovic called to turn over A♦ 5♦ to show two-pair while Li mucked his hand and turned his chips over to the middle, stood from his seat, and tapped the table for "Nice Hand" before he walked away. Smilijkovic stacked his bounty.
