Henadzi Deilik had pushed all in from the hijack for 97,000. Rami Barham sat in the cutoff and tossed in his own stack of 100,000, after which the rest of the table folded.
Henadzi Deilik: A♦J♦ 
Rami Barham: J♥J♣
Deilik needed an ace to stay in the tournament and he hit one on the final card of the hand as the 7♠6♥9♣3♥A♣ board was dealt.
Barham was left with just 3,000, which he lost to Toni Kaukua in the very next hand.
Action was picked up on the flop of K♥8♠4♠ with around 80,000 in the pot. Xiaosheng Zheng bet 41,000 from the small blind and Muhtar Taysi called from the hijack. Zheng then bet 52,000 on the K♦ turn. Taysi called again.
The 5♠ river completed potential flush draws. Both players checked it back. Zheng showed Q♠Q♣ for two pair but was beaten by Taysi's K♣J♣ for trips.
Action folded to Kacper Pyzara on the button, who moved all in for 76,000. Georgios Tsouloftas was in the small blind, and he asked for a count before making the call.
Kacper Pyzara: A♦J♦
Georgios Tsouloftas: A♠A♣
Pyzara had been unfortunate to run into Tsouloftas' rockets, and his departure was confirmed by the 6♥6♣2♥J♣3♠ runout.
Ahmet Akyun was all-in for his stack of 35,000 and was put at risk by Andreas Tomazou.
Ahmet Akyun: A♣9♦
Andreas Tomazou: A♦2♣
Akyun hit trips on the 9♥K♥4♥9♠7♥ board to earn himself more than a double-up, which left him with around eleven big blinds to work with.
Despite that small hit, it's been a great start to Day 2 for Tomazou, who has almost doubled his start-of-day stack and now has well over 800,000 to his name.
Action was picked up with the cards on their backs. Vladislav Naumov was all-in and at risk versus the covering stack of Alexandru Anuta.
Vladislav Naumov: 10♦10♥
Alexandru Anuta: Q♠Q♦
Anuta's queens held across the 9♦8♣A♥2♠9♥ runout to secure the remainder of Naumov's stack.
Lavrentiy Ni opened to 18,000 from early position and Mehdi Hadj got his short stack of 14,000 into the middle. Action folded to Semen Kravets in the big blind, who reached for chips and produced a three-bet to 58,000. After some thought, Ni called.
With betting on the side, Kravets led out with a sized up bet of 150,000 on the K♣5♣4♦ flop, which forced out Ni.
Mehdi Hadj: A♦7♦
Semen Kravets: A♣A♠
Hadj was in trouble versus Kravets' rockets, drawing to backdoors, and although the 6♣ turn gave him some hope, the 10♦ river was a brick.
A three-way all-in pot played out between Sergey Fedyaev, Lan Haoyenan, and Sergei Varnaev with them all getting their stacks in the middle.
Lan Haoyenan: A♦10♦
Sergei Varnaev: 10♣10♠
Sergey Fedyaev: K♥10♥
Fedyaev had both players covered and Haoyenan held the shortest stack with 70,000, meaning he would need to beat both opponents in order to stay alive. Varnaev had the best hand and with 82,000 in his stack, had to effectively win a flip in order to triple up.
However, Varnaev's hand went from best to worst on the A♣K♣6♣ flop, though he did add a flush draw to give himself a chance at survival. The J♥ turn gave each player a gutshot to Broadway, but the 5♠ river was a brick, which meant Varnaev was eliminated, and Haoyenan tripled up.
With the news that the Power Path is now a permanent addition to PokerStars, and that players can receive a $0.50 Step 1 Power Path ticket every single day as part of the new PokerStars Rewards program, there's never been a better time to have a look at how the Power Path can reward you and where it can take you.
Both live and online events have featured in the Power Path since its launch last summer, with Special Edition Gold Passes sending lucky players to the NAPT and Las Vegas Grand Prix last December.
This month, we look at the various Passes on offer, including both Gold and Silver Passes for the NAPT festival in Las Vegas, the Women's Winter Festival and the European Poker Tour stop in Prague.
Mark Steven Smith had put in a bet of 100,000 on a flop of 4♦5♣4♥. Keven Hasler was his opponent, and he put in his stack worth 247,000 in the middle.
Smith spent some time questioning his opponent but received no answers. Eventually, he folded his cards, adamant that he folded ace-four for the third nuts.
Hasler then showed his Q♦Q♣ for an overpair. Smith could only laugh at his mistake as play continued to the next hand.
