Yesterday Event #38: $10,000 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low Championship drew 134 of the best poker players on the planet to compete for a share of a $1,259,600 prize pool, of which $352,696 is reserved for the eventual winner. Today 75 of those players will return to action
Starting the day as the chip leader is none other than WSOP Player of the Year leader George Danzer, who won the $10,000 Razz Championship earlier this summer and made a final table appearance in the $10,000 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw. Toss in cashes in the $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo/Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo and the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em Six Max Championship and it's clear to see that Danzer is playing well. Danzer will start the day with 237,800.
Others returning to action include high-stakes online legend Brian Hastings, high-stakes gamblers Richard Sklar and Abe Mosseri, and 2014 WSOP bracelet winners Justin Bonomo and Calvin Anderson. Joining them are the likes of John Juanda, Dan Shak, Frank Kassela, Ted Forrest, and Jeff Lisandro, so as you can see it's a very talented field.
The plan for the day is to play five two-hour levels or down to a final table. We're guessing the former will be happen first, but whatever the case rest assured the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand to bring you all the action from Day 2 of the $10,000 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low Championship.
Matthew Wood completed with the and Phil Hellmuth got all in showing the . David Bach, who had the showing, made the call, and there were two active players headed to fourth. Wood check-called a bet and then check-folded to one on fifth.
Wood: / fold
Hellmuth: / / {9d]
Bach: / /
Hellmuth began the hand with split threes and ended up making two pair on seventh, but it was no good as Bach had started with rolled-up deuces. Bach ended with a full house, more than enough to send Hellmuth to the rail.
Matt Glantz joins the crew at the top of the show to talk about the World Series of Poker schedule, cash game dynamics, the Parx Poker Room, and crumbling vs. crumpling. In the second half the team discusses a bevy of topics, including Joe Cada's win, the Dutch Boyd drama surrounding his third win, what it takes to be an ambassador, and much more.
We saw Phil Ivey get up from Table 361 and begin to exit the tournament area, which led us to believe that he had been eliminated. By the time we made our way over, the dealer had scooped up all the cards, but Ivey had in fact been eliminated.
Though the action escaped us, we do know that it was at the hands of 1996 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Huck Seed. When asked what happened, the perpetually relaxed Seed simply responded, "Two kings. I started with two kings."
Obviously Ivey couldn't beat it and his run here in Event #38: $10,000 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low Championship has come to an end.
On fourth street, 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Jonathan Duhamel bet showing a pair of sixes and James Obst called him. Duhamel then bet 5,000 on fifth street, Obst raised, and Duhamel called off.
Duhamel: / /
Obst: / /
Duhamel got it in with sixes, which was ahead of Obst's fives. Unfortunately for him, he failed to improve while Obst made sevens and fives with a 7-5-3-2-A low. Obst scooped and Duhamel was eliminated from the tournament.
Over the past ten years, ESPN commentator Norman Chad has talked about Daniel Negreanu over and over again. Today, he had the chance to eliminate the fan favorite for a $10,000 buy-in tournament and did just that.
We missed the hand, but we do know that when Negreanu got the last of his chips in, he held a pair of sevens while Chad had deuces with a 6-5-3-2 low draw. Chad ended up making the low plus two pair for the high. Negreanu bricked out, and Chad took out one of poker's most beloved players.
Meanwhile, both Aleksandr Denisov and Sergey Altbregin have been eliminated from the tournament.
George Danzer completed and Eric Wasserson called before both players checked fourth street. On fifth, Wasserson bet and Danzer raised as Wasserson called all-in for his last 22,000 as each player's board ran out as follows:
Danzer: / /
Wasserson: / /
With Danzer rivering a flush, Wasserson would miss his full house, low draw and be sent to the rail, as Danzer climbed just a few antes shy of 500,000.
Catching the action on fourth street, we found James Obst all in with both Matthew Wood and Alexander Jung calling. Wood would then find himself all in on fifth with Jung calling and having Obst drawing dead to only a low and Wood dead to running kings.
Obst: /
Wood: /
Jung: /
Obst caught the and Wood found the to see themselves a guaranteed elimination as Jung found the .
Both all-in players mucked their seventh street cards and Jung dragged a monster pot to soar to 510,000 in chips.
Norman Chad completed and Richard Sklar called before Stephen Chidwick raised all in for his last 9,000 with both Chad and Sklar calling. Chad then bet fourth and fifth with Sklar calling only once, as each player's board ran out as follows:
