Potential Fireworks?

The two biggest stacks in the field, those of Fu Wong (runner-up in this event last year) and Greg Mueller, are now at the same table. We can only hope that something interesting and/or entertaining will happen to liven up the proceedings.

Baby Cards for Negreanu

Ivan Schertzer completed with the {A-Diamonds}, and Daniel Negreanu made the call showing the {5-Hearts}.

Schertzer: (X-X) / {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {8-Clubs} / (X)
Negreanu: (X-X) / {5-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} / (X)

On fouth and fifth streets, Schertzer was the one doing the betting. Negreanu called on fourth but stuck in a raise on fifth. Schertzer check-called on sixth and seventh streets.

Negreanu was the first to show his cards, tabling {4-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {K-Spades} for the baby full house. Schertzer had a pair on board, but he couldn't top kid poker's boat. After a long two days down near the bottom of the heap, Negreanu is finally making some headway. He's up to 64,000 after that last boost.

Steve Z Hangs in There

We don't know what either player had, but it looked to us like Johnny Chan took one shot at betting Steve Zolotow off a pot and then shut down. Chan was the bring-in with the {2-Diamonds} and called Zolotow's completion with the {10-Spades}. Chan caught an ace on fourth street against Zolotow's {5-Spades} and bet it, but Zolotow wasn't budging. The hand checked the rest of the way to the river, where Zolotow's bet showing (X-X) / {10-Spades} {5-Spades} {K-Clubs} {6-Spades} / (X) was enough to take the pot away from Chan's (X-X) / {2-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} / (X). Chan did not call.

History in the Making

We've got quite a table going over in the corner of the room at Orange 63. Four players in particular have a noteworthy history here at the Rio. Greg Mueller was recently moved over to this table, taking his seat two spots down from Steve Billirakis. You may remember the very first event of the 2007 WSOP, the $5,000 Mixed Hold'em event that was broadcast on ESPN. Billirakis won it, making him the youngest bracelet winner ever; Mueller had to settle for runner up.

That's not the only pair of one-two finishers we have at that table. Fu Wong played this same event last year, taking home more than $250,000. That was only good for second place though. The man three seats down from him, Eric Brooks was the only man who bested him, pocketing more than $415,000 and topping Wong for the bracelet.

Miami John Keeps Piling On

A three-way pot to fifth street contested among John Cernuto, Nick Frangos and Brett Richey went well for only Cernuto. His raise on fifth with (X-X) / {10-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {2-Clubs}, after Richey bet out (X-X) / {K-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} and folded Frangos, was enough to fold Richey and take down the pot.

Counts after the hand -

Cernuto: 155,000
Frangos: 140,000
Richey: 36,000

David Oppenheim Crippled, Eliminated

Oppenheim Out
Oppenheim Out
David Oppenheim limped into the pot for 1,000, and Ville Wahlbeck completed it to 3,000. Oppenheim was the lone caller.

Oppenheim: (X-X) / {7-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {2-Spades} / (X)
Wahlbeck: (X-X) / {7-Spades} {8-Spades} {K-Hearts} {3-Clubs} / (X)

Oppenheim checked fourth street, calling when Wahlbeck bet. On fifth street, Wahlbeck checked his king-high, and Oppenheim did the betting. Same action on sixth street, with Wahlbeck check-calling a bet. On seventh street, Wahlbeck again passed, Oppenheim bet, and Wahlbeck surprisingly put in a raise to 12,000. Oppenheim called the extra bet.

Wahlbeck showed down {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs}, and his aces up were good enough to win this sizable pot. He has worked up to 140,000, crippling our Day 1 chip leader all the way down to just 24,000.

Oppenheim would end up on the rail just a few hands later.
