Matt Grapenthien leads the remaining 102 players into Day 2 of Event #69: $1,500 Razz. Grapenthien already has one WSOP gold bracelet from the 2014 $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship. He is joined by a pretty strong field with the likes of 14-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth (45,900), Mike "The Mouth" Matusow (23,200), Jason Mercier (31,200), Tom Schneider (46,500), and Benny Glaser (61,000).

There are a ton of great players returning, we could list plenty more, but if players like Brandon Shack-Harris (23,100) are being left off the list, then you know this field is stacked.

James Obst (30,700) is still in the mix and has a chance for a Glaser-esque sweep, having already won the $10,000 Razz Championship. Glaser swept the $1,500 and $10,000 Omaha Eight or Better events last year.

It should be an interesting Day 2 and it all kicks off at 2 p.m. today. Stay up to date with all the action from Event #69 and all of the eight events happening today at the 2017 Wolrd Series of Poker, right here on PokerNews.com.

Limits: 1,200/2,400

Ante: 300

Scott Abrams Bests Two-Time Winner Phil Hellmuth

Will Shillibier

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

All-in player: {x-}{x-} / {5-}{5-}{q-}{2-} / {x-}
Hellmuth: {x-}{x-} / {7-}{10-}{k-}{4-} / {x-}
Abrams: {x-}{x-} / {a-}{a-}{q-}{9-} / {x-}

With action on sixth street, and one player all in, Hellmuth bet and Abrams called. Hellmuth checked seventh street.

"You can't bet here," said Hellmuth and Abrams checked behind.

Abrams showed {4-}{5-}{6-} for a nine-low and in typical Hellmuthian fashion, the 'Poker Brat' got to his feet exposing {2-}{6-}{7-} for a ten-low and waited to see what the all-in player showed.

The all-in player showed a {6-} and a {3-} meaning he was drawing to a live low to stay alive. But he paired with a {6-} and was eliminated.

"I thought you guys did all the numbers?" asked a noticeably irritated Hellmuth, "Then again, I've won this event three times."

"No wait, only two times," Hellmuth corrected himself.

"I have never won this event," said Abrams, "I'm looking for the first time ever!"

Refugio Quintero: {x-}{x-} / {4-}{q-}{8-}{2-} / {x-}
Mike Ross: {x-}{x-} / {6-}{k-}{4-}{k-} / {x-}
Scott Epstein: {x-}{x-} / {3-}{j-}{a-}{7-} / {x-}

Each player was in for one bet on sixth street and then Mike Ross was the first to bet on seventh. Scott Epstein called and Refugio Quintero raised. Ross called, but Epstein folded and Quintero showed {a-}{5-}{6-} for a six low. Ross mucked after making a seven.

Matt Grapenthien: {x-}{x-} / {3-}{j-} - fold
Ted Jivkov: {x-}{x-} / {a-}{10-}{7-}{a-} - fold
Mike Matusow: {x-}{x-} / {2-}{4-}{k-}{a-}

Matt Grapenthien completed and both Ted Jivkov and Mike Matusow called. Matusow bet on fourth street, Grapenthien folded and Jivkov called.

On fifth street Jivkov check-called a bet, and on sixth street Jivkov straight-up mucked when an {a-} paired him.

"You didn't think that Ace helped me?" asked Matusow pointing to the {a-} on his board. He then showed {3-}{5-} underneath for a wheel.

"I envisioned myself making a wheel, but I didn't wanna say anything so you would know that I was drawing to a wheel!"
