End of Day 2 chip counts and payout information:

The action has slowed waaay down in the Brasilia room. Only one bust out in the last hour to report.

Daniel Kraus finished in 16th place, picking up a check for $7,484. David Machowsky in the SB and Kraus in the BB capped the action preflop with Kraus committing all of his chips. His A 9 is behind Machowsky's A Q and stays that way when the board runs out: J 6 2 T 8.

Alexander Borteh was all in on a K 3 2 4 J board, having added 8,500 on the end with absolutely nothing. Alex Jalali showed A-T for Ace-high, and Borteh mucked and left the table in 20th place.

Michael Rosenthal was next in 19th. Rosenthal raises from the CO, and SB Sam Hiatt and BB Hien Tran call to see the Q T 7 flop. Check-check-check to bring the turn, a Ten. Hiatt bets out, Tran folds, and Rosenthal calls. Hiatt bets the 3 on the river, and Rosenthal calls all in. Ace-high isn't good enough this time as Rosenthal's A-9 is dominated by Hiatt's Q-J. Rosenthal earns $5,688 for 19th place.

Quyen Nguyen's turn. On a 9 7 6 flop, Nguyen and Mats Gavatin cap the action, and Nguyen gets it all in in the process. He shows 6 6 for a set, but Gavatin's K 4 flush looks pretty bad for Quyen. The T and the 2 that come next don't help, and Nguyen goes home in 18th with $7,484.

Jeff Norman hit the rail in 17th. Elliot Smith follows Norman's raise with another one, and Norman calls. The flop comes A 6 4. After three bets on the turn, Norman is all in, showing A 9 for the flush draw. Smith's A-Q stays ahead with no on the turn, and the river bricks as well, ending Norman's tournament.

With only 20 players still standing, they are off on a 20-minute break. They'll come back to Round 15. The first 30 minutes are Limit at 2,500-5,000, and the second 30 minutes are No Limit with blinds at 1,500-3,000.

Jason Rufinelli was eliminated in 24th place, followed by Nicolas Ragot in 23rd. Nick Binger took out Peter Rho in 22nd. In a No-Limit hand, Binger raised to 5,500, and Rho shoved for 20k from the button. Binger's J-8 is behind Rho's K-Q suited, but since when does that matter? Binger flopped an 8 to further increase his chip lead and make the field one smaller.

Ricky Sanders and Mats Gavatin got it all in preflop. It was a bad time for Sanders to wake up with Kings, because he ran them squarely into Gavatin's pocket Aces. The board missed him, and Sanders went home in 21st.

At break time, Binger is in the lead with 390,000. Jonathan Tamayo and Sam Hiatt are tied behind him with 230,000.

Down to two dozen. John Keefe's A-K lost a race to Daniel Krause's pair of Queens when the board ran out 4 3 2 3 4, sending Keefe home in 27th place. Daniel Deveau was bounced in 26th when his A-7 couldn't connect against Peter Rho's A-9. Keefe and Deveau both pick up $5,688.

Michael Guzzardi was the next to go in the limit session. Ricky Sanders raised UTG, Guzzardi reraised, and Sanders called. The flop was dealt J 6 5, and Sanders checked the action to Guzzardi. Michael bet, and Ricky called. Sanders again checked the 7 on the turn. Guzzardi bet, and Sanders raised him all in. Guzzardi called to find his Queens ahead of Ricky's J-T. But a Ten on the river changed that, giving Sanders two pair for the win. Guzzardi takes home $5,688 for 24th place.

The remaining 30 just returned from dinner, and three quick eliminations have them redrawing to three tables already. Todd Witteles jammed short-stack Marc Goldman all in preflop. Dan Druff's Q 9 was behind Goldman's A Q, but Witteles picked up flush and inside straight draws on the T 8 6 flop. The turn bricks the 2, but the 2 gives Witteles a flush and Goldman a trip to the cashier.

Chris Rentes pulled out pocket Kings to bust Greg de Bora's A-J. A few minutes later, Nick Binger's K-5 caught a King in the door to eliminate Mitch Schock's A-T. Schock's chips built Binger's stack above the two century mark.

Jan von Halle forced to chop.

Von Halle gave the bubble burst a shot. After opening for a raise to 2,675, von Halle would watch a player reraise to 8K. Von Halle calmly announced all in. After a little thinking, his player would call with K-K. Von Halle turned over K-K as well, all while joking that the player took his time making the call. A rainbow flop meant a chopped pot an bubble play goes on.

Like Day One, we're alternating between limit and no limit in half hour intervals. Odd numbered levels are limit, even no limit. Here's how they were to start the day.

Limit
Small Blind: 600
Big Blind: 1,200

No-limit
Small Blind: 300
Big Blind: 600

Rolf Slotboom sends one home early.

Slotboom had Jeremy Thomas all in and at risk, Thomas' queens way out in front of Rolf's 3-3. Thomas looked poised to double through as the board read 10-7-5-K heading to the river. But after the 3s fell on the river, Slotboom's set sent Thomas to the rail and chipped up to 13K.

Le doubles during limit.

Nam Le had all but a couple hundred of his chips in during capped preflop betting. He would toss his last few chips out in the dark and his opponent would make the call. The flop fell J-7-4 and his opponent showed A-Q, but Nam turned over A-J, having flopped top pair top kicker. Nam would pick up another jack on the river just to ice is. Le has doubled up to 12K.
