Day Two Is Upon Us
We've found our way to the orange section of the Amazon Room at the Rio Hotel and Casino for some PLO fun as the 2010 World Series of Poker starts to get to the business end of proceedings.
It's moving day here today as 171 players return for day two action in Event #55: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship. We have a cracking field still in contention with Tony Paino flying the flag for the Aussies as he leads the way. He won't have an easy time staying there with the likes of Noah Boeken, Annette Obrestad, David Benyamine, Tom Dwan, Eli Elezra, Daniel Alaei, Phil Hellmuth, Jason Mercier, Chris Ferguson, Vitaly Lunkin, Greg Raymer and John Juanda still lurking in the field.
The aim today will be to play ten levels which will hopefully get us as close to a final table lineup as possible. Unless there's some wild gambling action this afternoon, then you can expect that number to be closer to the final three tables by the time we bag and tag. However we should definitely reach the money which starts at our final 36, so no doubt that will provide some anxious moments later on this evening.
All the action kicks off at 3pm local time, so stay locked into PokerNews.com for all of your exclusive live updates from the tournament floor!
Level: 9
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 0
Go, Fight, Win!
It's a full house inside the Amazon Room today, but our players have found their way into their chairs, and the bags are open and the chips stacked. The dealers have been ordered into action, and Day 2 is under way.
Dwan Up Early on Table of Death
Tom Dwan is off to a good start this morning after winning a nice pot against David Benyamine, however Dwan might be wishing it was a little bigger after Benymaine made a very solid river check.
In a battle of the blinds, Dwan had check-called 12,000 on the turn before checking the river on a board of 
. With the paired board, Benyamine checked behind with his 
-X-X for second-nut flush as Dwan revealed 
for the nut flush to take it down.
Dwan is up to 130,000 on what is a ridiculously tough table. If overnight chip leader Tony Paino thought he was in for an easy day today, he couldn't have been further from the truth as he's found himself seated with Dwan, Benyamine, Jeffrey Lisandro, Dave Baker and Eli Elezra.
Double Chau
Catching the action on a flop of 
, Chau Giang fired a bet of 4,000 and found a call from Erica Schoenberg before Julian Gardner moved all in over the top. Giang called all in for his last 17,300 as Schoenberg stepped aside.
Giang: 
Gardner: 
Giang tabled top pair and flush draw as Gardner showed a smaller pair but a bigger flush draw. The turn was the 
and river the 
to improve Giang to a full house for the double up. He's up to 45,000.
Dwan Pays Off Benyamine
We picked up the action on a 
flop with about 7,000 in the pot. David Benyamine and Eli Elezra checked, and Tom Dwan bet 3,600. Benyamine called and Elezra folded, and the two live players went heads up to the 
turn. It check-checked there, and Benyamine led out with 6,500 chips on the 
river. Dwan called.
Benyamine showed down 
and his ten-high straight was good for the pot. Dwan mucked, slipping to 99,000 in chips, while Benyamine moves up to 88,000 or so.
Short Days
Men "The Master" Nguyen, Erick Lindgren, and Amnon Filippi have all just exited in near-unison, putting a quick end to their days of poker. At least there's still time to register for the 5 p.m. event.
Amnon Out
On a flop of 
Tony Cousineau checked it over to Amnon Filippi on the button who fired his last 3,800. Cousineau made the call.
Filippi:
Cousineau: 
Filippi held the lead as he flopped a straight as Cousineau was drawing. The 
on the turn changed nothing but the river was the to give Cousineau a Broadway straight to take it down. Filippi is sent to the rail as Cousineau is up to 40,000.
