One table over, we spotted Cyndy Violette who just lost some change in seven-card stud as well in a four-way pot. A Russian that from the 10k H.O.R.S.E. showed , but could not beat / .
We picked up the action on fifth street when Roland Israelashvili bet and Andrew Brown called. The action repeated itself on sixth, and then both players checked seventh.

Israelashvili had the low, and Brown the high. Chop it up.
It wasn't much of a hand, but it gave us a good excuse to update you on their chip counts. As you can see, it has been a bad start for Israelashvili.
The players are on their first 15-minute break of the day. The screens show 383 players in, already more than last year when the same event drew 374 participants.
Mike "The Mouth" Matusow talked to PokerNews' Chad Holloway on the first break of Event #25: $2,500 Omaha/Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low. He talks about why it's his favorite event, his good start, and why he thinks Daniel Negreanu may have a little too much say when it comes to WSOP structures.
According to PokerNews' latest WSOP Player of the Year update, Justin Bonomo is out to an early lead in the 2014 World Series of Poker Player of the Year standings. Bonomo reached his eighth career final WSOP final table last week and finally claimed his first WSOP bracelet, removing his name from the list of the best players without poker's most prestigious piece of hardware.
Bonomo is followed closely in the standings by Brandon Shack-Harris, a cash game player who virtually came out of nowhere to win a bracelet of his own. Shack-Harris won the largest pot-limit Omaha event in Event #3, and followed that up with a runner-up finish in the $10,000 Razz Championship event.
Sitting third in the POY standings through 20 events is George Danzer, who defeated Shack-Harris heads-up in the Razz Championship on Sunday. It was also the first bracelet for Danzer, wideley considered one of the top mixed-games minds in the game.
Rounding out the top five through the first two weeks of the series are Brock Parker and Jonathan Dimmig. Parker picked up his third career bracelet in Event #10, and Dimmig collected the first seven-figure score of the 2014 WSOP with his victory in the Millionaire Maker.
