Day 2 Looms

[user66118]
[user66118]
Welcome back to the Rio All Suite Hotel & Casino for our continuing coverage of the $10,000 Seven-Card Stud World Championship. Day 2 has dawned with 101 players remaining out of the 142 that began play some 21 hours ago.

After the chips were counted down last night, it was David Oppenheim who snagged the overall lead, bagging up 97,000 at the end of Day 1. Hot on his heels are the likes of Miami John Cernuto, Nick Frangos, Toto Leonidas, Steve Zolotow, and Matt Glantz, who dusted off more than 20,000 of his chips just as the day ended.

Today, we've moved out of the cozy confines of the Brasilia room, and we're back to restart in the cavernous Amazon room. Play is scheduled to get underway at 2:00pm, but we suspect it may get pushed back a bit. The orange section that we are supposed to be using is full of Event #7 players, and there's nowhere to put our Stud restart just yet. The staff is breaking tables out of the area, and we figure to get going as soon as 13 tables become available.

Early Action

[user66118]
[user66118]
In a hotly contested early pot, Marco Traniello made two pair, tens and sixes, by the time all the cards were out. Mark Seif was the lone opponent, and he couldn't table anything better. The pot of about 17,500 chips was pushed to Traniello, bumping him up to 32,000. Seif has slipped to 22,000.

No Plunder for the Italian Pirate

[user75032]
[user75032]
Max Pescatori never managed to get much going yesterday, finishing with just barely more chips than he started with. Things aren't going much better so far today. He called a completion bet made by Karle Wilson (door card: {K-Hearts}) showing the {5-Spades}. Wilson bet fourth when he caught a queen to Pescatori's nine, then took down the pot on fifth by betting his four against Pescatori's three.

Pescatori once again has less than the starting stack.

E-Dog Flushes Douglas

Erick Lindgren

We pick up the action on fourth street, heads up between Shane Douglas and Erick Lindgren.

Douglas: (X-X) / {Q-Spades} {10-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {5-Clubs} / (X)
Lindgren: (X-X) / {3-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} / (X)

On fourth street, Douglas bet his queen-ten, and Lindgren called. On fifth street, Lindgren picked up the ace and fired a bet of his own. Douglas called a bet there, as well as single bets on sixth and seventh streets.

Lindgren opened up {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}, showing the winning nut diamond flush, as Douglas mucked his seven.

Corkins Grins and Drags the Pot

[user75032]
[user75032]
Soheil Shamseddin was facing a difficult decision on the river against Hoyt Corkins. Corkins had either bet or raised Shamseddin -- either way it was one bet back to Shamseddin. His board of (X-X) / {3-Spades} {A-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} / (X) was up against Corkins' (X-X) / {10-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {J-Spades} / (X).

After about a minute of deliberation (unusually long for a fixed-limit event) Shamseddin called. Corkins opened {8-Clubs} {8-Spades} {K-Diamonds} for trip eights.

"What a laydown!" said Eli Elezra from across the table. "I had two pair." It seems likely that Shamseddin did also, but we'll never know -- he mucked.

Dangerous Times for Negreanu

[user75032]
[user75032]
With limits now at 1,200 and 2,400, anybody at 12,000 chips is legitimately short. Daniel Negreanu isn't there yet, but he doesn't have much wiggle room. He did just pick up a small pot from Hoyt Corkins after Corkins completed the {A-Hearts} and Negreanu raised the {10-Hearts}. When Negreanu caught the {A-Spades} on fourth street, Corkins quickly surrendered.

Negreanu is on about 20,000 chips.

Aces Aplenty

[user66118]
[user66118]
Phil Ivey completed the bring-in with the {8-Clubs}. Soheil Shamseddin came along with the {2-Hearts}, and it was heads up.

Ivey: (X-X) / {8-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {K-Spades} / (X)
Shamseddin: (X-X) / {2-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {5-Spades} / (X)

On fourth street, Shamseddin checked, Ivey bet, and Shamseddin put in a check-raise. Ivey called the extra bet. On fifth, sixth, and seventh streets, Shamseddin kept firing bets, and Ivey kept calling him down.

Shamseddin turned over his first two down cards, showing {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}. "I don't know what I have in here," he said, pointing to his last card laying face-down on the felt. It didn't seem to matter as Ivey was already in the process of folding his cards while Shamseddin flipped over the {A-Spades}, his full house plenty good to win the pot.
