Some Shots from the Day 2 Field
Ramos is Down But Not Out
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Several players are looking short-stacked compared to the field but have been grinding that short-stack for a while and comfortable with it. Maria Ho (57,000), Morris Dadoun (18,000), Vanessa Selbst (45,000) and Daniel Negreanu (43,200) are all looking for a way back above average.
However, when you've had a big chip-stack and a series of hands eat away at it, dragging it back down to average, it can hurt more. Felipe Ramos was up to around 175,000 a short while ago, but he has less than half that currently, after losing the latest hand he played.
With a pot of around 11,000, the flop came 
, and Ramos bet 11,000 to match it. His only opponent called and they went to a turn of 
, which Ramos bet again, this time to 16,300. Again, a very quick call. The river of 
prompted a check from Ramos, and also from his opponent. Ramos could only turn over , not good enough to beat his opponent's pocket jacks.

Level 11
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu raised to 3,500 from early position and Govert Metaal called. When action reached Mohsin Charania in the cutoff, he three-bet it to 10,500, which Negreanu called. Metaal got out of the way and it was heads-up action to the 
flop.
Negreanu checked, Charania continued for 6,500, and Negreanu check-raised to 19,000. Charania called and then both players checked the turn.
When the completed the board on the river, Negreanu checked yet again and Charania fired out 27,500. Negreanu, who was enjoying a massage, gave it some thought but ultimately released his hand.
