Welcome to PokerNews' Day 2 coverage of Event #27: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E.

After 10 levels on Day 1, 72 players remain from the field of 157 players thus far. Registration closes when play begins on Day 2, so we'll have prize pool and payout information available shortly after play begins.

Leading the way into Day 2 is Shaun Deeb with 234,500. Rounding out the top five stacks are Michael Mckenna (215,500), Robert Mizrachi (212,500), Brock Parker (199,500) and Ryan Miller 198,000. Among those who are expected to register on Day 2 for the event include 14-time bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth, 10-time bracelet winner Phil Ivey, two-time bracelet winner Mike Wattel, and four-time bracelet winner Brian Rast, fresh off winning the $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship.

The schedule for the day is to play another 10 levels, and by that point, play should be down to the final three table and probably into the money as well.

Play starts at 2 p.m. Stay tuned to PokerNews for live updates on all the action.

Omaha Hi-Lo

In the last hand of Omaha Hi-Lo, Jared Bleznick was all in for 6,000, half a bet, and John Monnette inquired if he can make it 10,000, which was confirmed by the dealer. Monnette tossed in two T-5,000 chips without announcing a raise, the floor was called, it was then deemed to be just a call instead. John Hennigan was in the hand as well and bet the {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop to force out Monnette.

Bleznick showed his {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Hennigan said "wow, I have you crushed?" before showing the {A-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. The deuces held up eventually on the {K-Hearts} turn and {Q-Hearts} river run out and Bleznick headed to the rail.
