Sheldon Gross wasn't camera shy, giving his best celebration pose, after knocking out Thomas Millward.

Thomas Millward (Boca Raton, FL) came into Day 2 with a stack of 171,000, which was the fifth largest (of the 34 returning).  He's now out of the tournament, after being eliminated by Sheldon Gross.  Table 4 was approached on the turn, with the board reading Q♠ 10♦ 5♥ 6♣.  Michael Garavuso had bet 13,000, with Sheldon Gross raising to 55,000.  Millward then three-bet shoved (for just over 70,000), which caused Garavuso to release his hand.  Sheldon quickly made the call, and the cards were turned over:

Gross: Q♥ 6♥

Millward: K♠ Q♣

River: 8♠

Millward saw the bad news when the cards were tabled, as his hand that was ahead on the flop, got out-turned by Sheldon.  Gross's two-pair would hold up after the river, and he'd chip up to 200,000, while Millward collecting his things and left the tournament area.

Sheldon Gross - 200,000 (40bb)
