Chip Leader David LeviThat's a Wrap!
Day 1 of Event 16 - $1,500 Seven Card Stud has come to an end!
We saw 359 stud enthusiasts take to the felt today, but only 97 would make it through to Day 2. Ted Forrest, Mike Caro, Ylon Schwartz, Anna Wroblewski, Andy Bloch, Tom Schneider, David Singer and Michael Binger would all perish before the chips were bagged.
Professional poker player David Levi emerges at the head of the pack with a healthy 49,600 in chips. Hot on his tails tomorrow will be Jeff Lisandro (40,700), Jason Mercier (35,000), Thor Hansen (33,300) and John Juanda (30,400).
Many still have their shot at capturing their first bracelet, including Allen Kessler (5,100), Michael 'The Grinder' Mizrachi (14,500), and David Bach (31,800) as they battle tomorrow until the final table is reached.
Make sure to log on to PokerNews tomorrow at 2pm local time to catch every bring-in, door card and every split pair of Day 2 action! -

Just Quads for Lisandro
Jeff Lisandro completed, only to be raised to 1,000. Lisandro made the call and called each bet by his opponent until sixth and seventh street where he lead out for 1,000; both times being called.
Lisandro: (X-X) /
/ (X)
Opponent: (X-X) /

Once called on the river Lisandro tabled his down cards of

Ivan Schertzer Eliminated
There will be no second 7 Card Stud final table for Ivan Schertzer this series . . . well, for now anyway.
Schertzer was all in on third street and we saw the board run out as following:
Schertzer:
/ 
/ 
Opponent:
/ 
/ 
It would be a rivered set of trip deuces to send Schertzer to the rail after a solid showing all day. -

Lisandro lucky?Lucky Lisandro
"What you looking at, Sam?" asked Jeff Lisandro.
Sam Grizzle then angled the 2009 WSOP event list in Lisandro's way and then returned to studying it.
"I'm looking for an event you can stake me in," mutters Grizzle. "I know you got lucky money," continued Grizzle before putting his head further into the piece of folded-many-times paper.
"You know Jeff...it takes a player to recognise a player. Doesn't it, Jeff?"
Lisandro laughed off Grizzle's comments before completing to take down the antes.
Maybe Lisandro is lucky, but whichever way you look at it, a healthy 36,000 in chips sees him sitting pretty as we approach the end of play. -

Landry called each bet by his opponent until he was all in on sixth street. After raking the pot, he continue to trade banter with his opponent who had earlier taken a big pot off him. -
