Jon "PearlJammer" TurnerDay 2 Concludes
Of the original starting field of 412 runners, just 14 remain in the hunt for the $241,637 first prize and Event No. 42 gold bracelet. All 14 have well demonstrated their poker knowledge and skill thus far in the eight different games required of them in the Mixed Game event. And each will be tested even further as they continue toward their goal on Tuesday's final day of play.
Jon "PearlJammer" Turner ended the day with the chip lead with 469,200, followed closely by Jerrod Ankenman with 412,400. Others returning tomorrow include Layne Flack (gunning for his seventh WSOP bracelet), Rami Boukai (looking for his second bracelet of the summer), and a short-stacked Jimmy Fricke.
Join us again tomorrow at 2 p.m. for the conclusion of Event No. 42. -

Stud/8 to Start
When the redraw was done for three tables, there was a draw to see which game all of the tables would begin playing. Pot-limit Omaha was the game selected, and that's where all three tables started.
The three tables moved through all but two of the remaining games before reaching the final 16. The only two games not played by that point were Stud/8 and No-Limit Hold'em.
Once the last 16 were seated around the final two tables, a coin was flipped to see which game would be the first played, Stud/8 or NLHE. Stud/8 was the winner, and that's where our last two tables will begin. -
