Note: These payouts reflect a deal that was made with 2 players remaining. The players agreed to set aside and play for $10,000.00 of the prize pool and the Championship Belt and to chop the remaining prize money.
After about half-an hour of heads-up play in which Hank Sitton managed to chip up to just about an equal stack with Setrak Suloukji, a hand developed very quickly which saw Hank get it in very good against Seto (as he’s known) only to lose as the board dealt a disaster for Hank.
The players were all in with 
(for Seto) against Hank’s 
– Seto was dominated. The players were all in preflop and the board ran out 
– giving Seto the nut straight.
The players had made a deal as heads-up play began to split the remaining prize pool less $10K and the Championship Belt.
Hank Sitton has eliminated Darren Elias in 3rd place. The tournament will now continue heads up between Hank and Setrak.
3rd place: Darren Elias, $35,987.00

We’ll be adding updates about both events here.
The pace of the action slowed considerably as the bubble approached, which was predictable considering the amounts in question and the high level of tournament experience among the remaining 8 players. Nevertheless two more eliminations were reached to end Day 2.
7th place: Nicholas P Grippo
8th place: David Ormsby
The remaining players will return at 2pm to play to the end.
Players in the High Roller tournament were slated to play 9 levels today, but with the money bubble so close they chose to play down to the bubble so that everyone who will come back for Day 3 will be in the money.
Philippe Kerri was also short stacked entering the final table, and exits the event in 9th place.
9th place: Philippe Kerri
