Artime Zhuta shoves all in for around 70,000 in middle position. It folds to Frankie Flowers in the big blind, and Flowers pauses.  After nearly a minute and a half, Flowers moves chips forward to call.

Zhuta: A♠3♥
Flowers: A♣5♠

The flop comes 9♠3♠2♣, giving Zhuta the lead with a pair of threes.  He increases that lead when the turn comes the 9♥ giving him two pair.  But the 4♥ on the river gives Flowers a straight to eliminate Zhuta in 30th place.

Zhuta crumples up his media identification card, says, "On the river," and walks away to the payout desk.

After Zhuta walks away a player not involved in the hand says, "I mean, he did get it in bad."

Flowers was the first player over the million chip mark, and is now sitting with 1,225,000.

Patel: 10♠9♠
Wu: J♦9♦

The flop comes Q♥10♣3♠ giving Patel the lead with a pair of tens. The A♠ maintains that lead and gives him flush outs.

Average Chips: 104,285
Feature Table Live Stream Link: https://www.twitch.tv/foxwoodspoker

In a hand that extended a few minutes into the break, Sean Carlson was eliminated by Andy Kaplan.

The board read 8♦4♠3♥6♥. Carlson had bet 11,000 from middle position, and Kaplan shoved all in for around 75,000, having Carlson covered by about 15,000. Carlson went deep into the tank.

"Clock," Kaplan said, "Sorry man, I just have to piss."

The floor is called over and Carlson is given 60 seconds to act or his hand would be declared dead.

As the floor starts counting down, "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five," Carlson moves a stack of chips forward to call.

"Good call," Kaplan says as he tables A♥4♥ for a pair of fours, and a flush draw.

Carlson is in the lead holding 10♣10♦, but the A♠ comes on the river, giving Kaplan two pair to win the hand, and Carlson is eliminated six away from the money. 

Andy Kaplan - 175,000
Sean Carlson - Eliminated

Any Kaplan shoves all in for 16,300 in the cutoff. The button folds, the small blind reshoves for less (12,000), and Justin Lynn also shoves all in from the big blind, having both players covered.

Kaplan: K♣Q♣
Small Blind: 7♦7♥
Lynn: K♠K♦

The flop comes A♣J♦5♣ leaving Lynn's kings in the lead, but giving Kaplan flush and straight outs.

The 2♦ turn does not change the hand, but the 2♣ on the river gives Kaplan a flush to nearly triple up.

Andy Kaplan - 45,000

Event #8, Flight D - Sherwin Agard Accidentally Folds the Nuts

Level: 2
Blinds:  50/100
Current Entries: 57

Sherwin Agard is feeling confident after just winning the last hand.  In this hand, action folds to him in the hijack and Agard says, "You know what?  I am going to win this hand without even looking. I raise to 250."

Raj Patel calls on the button and Michael Ferraro calls in the big blind.

The flop comes Q♥4♠3♦. Ferraro checks, Agard bets 300 (still without looking), Patel folds, and Ferraro calls.

The turn is the 2♥. Ferraro checks again, and Agard says, "See, I am gonna win this hand without even looking. I bet 800," and he throws out his bet of 800.  Once again, Ferraro calls.

The river is the A♥. This time Ferraro quickly announces that he is all in, and Agard is caught off guard.

"I guess I better check my cards now," Agard says.

"Noooo...you said you weren't going to look," Ferraro says.

Agard looks at his first card, then looks at his second card, and says, "Alright, I guess I have to fold," as he tables K♥3♥ for the nut flush.

Ferraro says, "You folded that? You just folded the nuts," as Ferraro tables an inferior flush, 9♥6♥.

"What?  NO!" Agard shouts, "I didn't even see that. I tabled my hand."

The floor is called over and since Agard verbally announced that he folded prior to tabling his hand, the hand is ruled dead, and the pot is awarded to Ferraro.

"What an idiot," Raj Patel says as the chips are passed over to Ferraro, "Please write that, 'What an idiot.'" 

Michael Ferraro - 15,000
Sherwin Agard -  30,000

Justin Lynn raises to 4,000 in early position, and the player to his direct left calls.  It folds to Sean Carlson in middle position who raises to 11,000.  It folds back around to the original raiser who pauses for a few moments before hesitantly folding, and the player to his left quickly calls.

Carlson is away ahead holding A♥A♦ against his opponent's J♣J♠.

The flop comes Q♠7♦3♦, and Lynn says, "Oh man, I folded pocket queens."

The 7♣ turn and 8♦ river are safe for Carlson, and he doubles up.

As the chips are being counted down from Carlson's opponent's stack, the table talks about Lynn's fold, all agreeing that it was, "Absolutely the right fold," despite the fact that he would have won the hand.

Main Event - Stephen Song Leads Final Seven Players at End of Day 2

At the end of ten hours of play, just seven of the original 65 Day-2 runners remain.

Over the course of the day, many notable players hit the rail. Gerry Aillo, Michael Azzaro, David Stefanski, Ralph Macri, Sam Taylor, Chris Tryba, Michael Clemente, Luke Vrabel, Julie Bae, Brad St. Vincent, Ted Driscoll, Steven Tabb, and Justin Adams all finished shy of the money.

The money bubble burst just after the dinner break when Matthew Wantman was eliminated by LJ Sande. Wantman's A♣K♥ could not improve against Sande's J♠J♣, and he was sent home, leaving the remaining field in the money, and guaranteed at least $3,934.

After the money bubble burst, the following players were eliminated:

18th - Soukha Kachittavong - $3,934
17th - Joe Heinzmann - $3,934
16th - James Lex - $3,934
15th - David Grandieri - $4,180

The following seven players have bagged up for the night and will return tomorrow (Sat. May 13th) at noon to play down to a winner:

Seat 4 - Giuseppe Ruvolo - 950,000

Seat 8 - Dan Chalifour - 879,000
Seat 9 - Stephen Song - 1,237,000
Seat 10 - Adam Pepper - 266,000

Stephen Song held a monster chip lead for most of the day. He was the first player to cross over the million chip mark, and only relinquished that lead after making it to the final table.  But after cracking Ernie Hou's pocket aces when he hit trip queens on the river, and after winning a sizable pot off of Frankie Flowers when he flopped trip twos, he once again, is the lone player over the million chip mark to end Day 2.  The start of Day 2 chip leader Guiseppe Ruvolo is coming in second with 950,000, and rounding out the top three is Dan Chalifour, with 879,000.  
 
Day 3 play will start at Level 23, with 8,000/16,000 blinds, and a 2,000 ante, and the average chip stack will be 724,285.
