Action on Day 2 lasted about five hours and began with 99 players. Francisco Benitez of Uruguay was eliminated on the money bubble in 76th place in a cooler where his pocket queens were pipped by the pocket kings of an opponent. Canada's Amichai Barer was the first player out in the money for $26,848 shortly after that.
Radoja ran hot as the field dwindled down, knocking out Rodrigo Selouan in 15th place when Radoja's ace-jack held against Selouan's ace-ten and later cracking the queens of Song "xuesong" Xue with ten-seven and sending Xue home in 12th place.
Next out in 11th place was Artur Martirosian when his king-jack couldn't get there against the pocket fours of Isaac Baron, and shortly after Sebastian Trisch was eliminated on the final table bubble.
Day 3 of Event #2: Super MILLION$ Main Event, $10,300 will commence on Sept. 21 at 6 p.m. GMT. The winner will earn a seven-figure score of $1.2 million while second and third places will respectively earn $920,185 and $709,560.
