The eight remaining players are now on a 15-minute break.
Craig Sarner's last hand of the day was especially brutal, considering he played 12 hours to win a Mega Satellite into the Main Event, and 12 more hours on yesterday's Day 1, only to fall excruciatingly short of making the money.
Sarner jammed his last 28,000 into the middle with 
, coming over the top of Mike Summers' 6,500 opening wager.
Priced into making the call, Summers reluctantly committed the calling chips with his 
, finding himself well behind Sarner's overpair.
Unfortunately the flop rolled out with three clubs on board, instantly leaving Sarner with no outs - and no chips.
He hit the rail in 9th place, two spots short of making the money.

After dropping a few big pots in succession, Paul McCaffrey opted to make his stand with an open-shove from the button. His last 52,000 went into the middle holding the 
, but when Michaelann Moser woke up with in the small blind, she snapped the bet off.
Although McCaffrey caught a lifeline on the 
flop, he was unable to improve on the turn or river, sending him home just short of the final table with a 12th place finish.
