Benyamine Leads 78 Advancing Players; Ivey, Hellmuth & Mizrachi Fall
Nível 10
Day 2 of the 2013 World Series of Poker Event #55: The $50,000 Poker Players' Championship saw nine players late register to bring the total field up to 132 entrants—up 24 from the year prior—and create a prize pool of $6,336,000, of which $1,774,089 is reserved for the winner. After five more levels of play, the man best positioned out of the remaining 78 players is David Benyamine, who bagged up the chip lead with 729,000.
One man who is no longer in contention for the top prize is defending champ Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi, who was seeking his third Poker Players' Championship title. Mizrachi's demise came in Level 9 in a round of no-limit hold'em. Fifth street had been dealt, and with about 60,000 in the middle the board read 
. It appeared Cole South had checked and Mizrachi had fired a bet, as the latter had 35,000 sitting out in front of him with only about 25,000 left behind.
South paused for several seconds, then announced he was all in, his stack well exceeding that of Mizrachi. The Grinder sat up and leaned forward, beginning a couple of minutes' worth of consideration of what to do next.
"I got a pretty big hand," he said at one point, with South offering no response. Finally Mizrachi called, asking "full house?" as he did. South let his cards provide the response. He didn't have a full house, but his 
meant he'd made a club flush. Mizrachi slumped a little as he saw a hand that beat the one he was holding. He started to muck face down, then flipped his cards over and ahead where they landed in the middle of the table — 
. With that, the 2010 and 2012 Poker Players' Champion was out.
Others who hit the rail throughout the day were David "ODB" Baker, David "Bakes" Baker, Randy Ohel, Konstantin Puchkov, Phil Ivey, Mike Sexton, Gus Hansen, Phil Hellmuth, Phil Galfond, Daniel Negreanu and Mike Matusow.
While some big names fell, there are still plenty of notables left in the field including Jonathan Duhamel (666,100), Matthew Ashton (635,500), Troy Burkholder (623,000), Jean Gaspard (600,100), Brian Rast (489,500), Shaun Deeb (453,600), Justin Bonomo (343,600), Joe Hachem (326,000), Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier (325,000), Huck Seed (309,400), Erick Lindgren (276,000) and Doyle Brunson (265,000).
Brunson was down to just 40,000 at the start of Level 10, but by the end of it he'd increase that sixfold. That was thanks to doubles through Jennifer Harman and Cole South, with lady luck smiling on the ten-time bracelet winner on the latter double.
Day 3 will begin at at 2 p.m. PDT, and the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand to bring you all the action and eliminations from another day of action here in Event #55: The $50,000 Poker Players' Championship.

Katchalov Cut Down
Nível 10

Eugene Katchalov was just all in and at risk by fifth street in a stud hand against both Bryn Kenney and Eric Sagstrom. Sagstrom then bet on both of the last two streets, and Kenney called both times.
Sagstrom:

Brunson Hits Runner-Runner to Stay Alive
Nível 10
No-Limit Hold'em
We caught the action on a 
flop with around 25,000 in the pot. Cole South had checked from the small blind and Doyle Brunson did the same from the big. Paul Volpe then bet 10,000 from middle position, South called and Brunson check-raised but to 70,500, leaving himself about 40,000 behind. Volpe quickly folded and then South moved all in. Brunson snap-called and discovered the bad news.
South: 
Brunson: 
South had flopped a set and was well out in front. Brunson was looking for a jack, but the turn wasn't it. With that said, the ten-time bracelet winner could now catch a ten to counterfeit South. The dealer burned and put out the . Brunson let a sly smile cross his face as the table reacted sharply.
"Look at the vultures hanging around," Jennifer Harman told Brunson in regards to the various players, most of who have side bets with the veteran, who were surrounding the table.

Juanda Rebounds
Nível 10
No-Limit Hold'em
John Juanda was down to around 10,000 earlier in the evening, appearing as though he were in danger of an early exit from Event #55. But he nursed his short stack through the last couple of levels, and as play is coming close to an end he has managed to build back up over 120,000.
Juanda earned some more chips recently in a hand versus Chris Klodnicki in which the two players battled preflop to built a decent-sized pot before the first three community cards came 
. Klodnicki bet 10,600 in an effort to claim what was in the middle, but Juanda raised all in for more than 60,000 total.
Klodnicki thought for a couple of minutes before acting. "Do you have ace-king?" asked Juanda. "Maybe," grinned Klodnicki.
Finally Klodnicki found a fold, and a couple of Juanda's supporters on the rail applauded the play.
