Danzer Continues to Rolls; Eliminates Friedman

Nível 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Stud Hi-Low

Just before the level went up, Adam Friedman got his last 900 in after Manuel Bevand had completed. George Danzer then raised, Bevand called, and a side pot was created. Bevand proceeded to check-call a bet on fourth before betting out on fifth when he paired his nine. Danzer called and then raised on sixth. Bevand called and then check-called a bet on seventh.

Danzer: /
Bevand: /
Friedman: /

Friedman ended up with two pair, which was third best as Bevand had a set of nines and Danzer a straight to the six. Danzer's hand was good for both the high and low, and he scooped the pot while sending Friedman, a WSOP bracelet winner, to the rail.

Meanwhile, a short-stacked Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond was eliminated in a stud hi-low hand one table over.

Early Pot for Danzer; Shak & Hausen Hit the Rail

Nível 11 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Stud Hi-Low

We picked up the action on fifth street when both George Danzer and Dan Shak checked to Bruce Levitt, who bet 2,000. Two calls followed and then Danzer lead out on sixth street. Shak folded, dropping his stack to 6,400, while Levitt made the call. Levitt called another bet of 2,000 on seventh and discovered the bad news.

Danzer tabled two pair with an 8-4-3-2-A low, and it was good as Levitt scooped up his cards and sent them to the muck.

Meanwhile, Shak would go on to bust a couple of hands later, joining Tobias Hausen as an early Day 2 elimination.

The Money Will Be Reached Here on Day 2 of Event #25

Mike Matusow will return to action on Day 2.

Today Event #25: $2,500 Omaha/Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low of the 2014 World Series of Poker continues as the remaining 139 players from a 470-player field look to play through the money and onward to the final table — or at least as close as they can get in 10 one-hour levels of play.

The top 48 players will earn a portion of the $1,069,250 prize pool, with the eventual winner taking home $267,327. Last year's champ, Mike Gorodinsky, who defeated a field of 374 players to win his first gold bracelet, fell in the last level of the night on Day 1, which means a new champion will be crowned.

"Womp Womp. No title defense for me this year. At least I actually played well today, cards just didn't cooperate. #OTTNO," Gorodinsky tweeted after his bust.

So who will be the next $2,500 Omaha/Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low champ? Will it be Cameron Tahmasebi, who begins today as the chip leader with 65,200? Or perhaps one of the other big stacks like Fu Wong (64,300), Brian Nichols (62,500), James Hoeppner (57,700), or Tom Schneider (57,600)?

All of these men have a chip advantage, but by no means do they have an easy path to the money. Among those standing in their way are John D’Agostino (54,900), Mike Leah (50,100), Michael Moed (46,300), Ashly Butler (40,800), Dutch Boyd (37,400), George Danzer (36,500), Mike Matusow (25,700), and Vanessa Selbst (22,300).

Speaking of Matusow, he joined PokerNews' Chad Holloway for an impromptu interview on Day 1 where he talked about playing in this event. Have a listen:

Cards will be in the air at 2 p.m. local time, which is about an hour from now. Join us then as we bring you all happenings from 10 more levels of play here in Event #25: $2,500 Omaha/Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low.
