Welcome to Day 2 of Event #11: $1,500 Dealers Choice 6-Handed

One day is down and two to go in Event #11: $1,500 Dealers Choice 6-Handed.

Roughly a quarter of the field made it through Day 1 of the mixed game bonanza as 89 of 364 players advanced, and there are plenty of mixed game crushers dotting the leaderboard for poker fans to keep an eye on as Day 2 of the event progresses. Justin Bonomo (70,900), Marco Johnson (61,300), Jon Turner (46,000), David Bach (43,100) and Robert Mizrachi (41,500) are all among the bigger stacks.

Mizrachi, of course, is perhaps the most accomplished player in the short history of these dealer's choice events, which date to 2014 at the WSOP. He finished first in the inaugural running for $147,092 and followed that up with third place in 2015 for $51,236.

All, however, have work to do to catch chip leader Troy Evans (76,200).

Taking place over in the former poker kitchen in the Miranda Room, Day 2 is scheduled to see 10 more one-hour levels, with players sifting through the stack of 20-odd game plaques and selecting their games of choice for a round apiece. There will be a one-hour dinner break at the conclusion of today's sixth level.
