1. 'existential' there
2. 'adverb of place' there
You would stress different words in saying these.
1. I know all that there is to know.
2. I know all that is there to know.
The second one is a little strange because we want to ask All that is where? All that is in the kitchen?

The second one isn't used. The first one is correct. You could also say, "I know all there is to know," and leave the word "that" out completely.
