Day 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.

Fricke Gets Crushed at the End

Pot-Limit Omaha

On the flop of {K-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {6-Diamonds}, Rami Boukai checked to Jimmy Fricke. Fricke fired out 15,000 and Boukai quickly called.

The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and Boukai immediately announced a pot-sized bet. Fricke then said he was all in and the two players revealed their hands. Fricke held {K-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}. Boukai held {K-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {10-Spades} {2-Diamonds}.

"I guess I need a jack or a ten." said Boukai.

Just like that, the dealer smacked the {J-Clubs} out on the river. Fricke tossed his arms up in the air as the pot was pushed to Boukai. He was left with just 47,400 chips and will now be the short stack coming into tomorrow.

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.

George Lewis - 17th Place
George Lewis - 17th Place
Stud/8

Rami Boukai just busted George Lewis with trip aces on sixth street. Boukai began the hand with split aces and when he tripped them up, Lewis was drawing dead. Lewis went out in 17th place, just missing out on the next prize jump.
