Day 2 Set to Begin

Michael Mizrachi is in the pole position
Michael Mizrachi is in the pole position

85 players made it through Day 1 of the $10,000 Seven-Card Stud World Championship yesterday. When they bagged up the chips at the end of the night, it was Event 2 Champion, Michael Mizrachi, who had accumulated the biggest stack. Surprisingly, the player in second place was the player who finished in second place in Event 2 -- Vladimir Schmelev.

But in a very pro-heavy field, there are still plenty of "names" left looking to make a move up the counts and secure a seat at tomorrow's final table. In fact, the 1-2 punch from this event last year -- Freddie Ellis and Eric Drache -- are both alive and kicking heading into Day 2.

Play is set to resume at 3pm local time, in about thirty minutes. See you then!

Negreanu Clipped

Daniel Negreanu led every street of betting against John D'Agostino only to fold seventh street when faced with a 3,000-chip bet with both players boards reading as follows.

Negreanu: (X)(X) / {10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} / (X)
D'Agostino (X)(X) / {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} / (X)

As D'Agostino climbs to 67,000, Negreanu slips to just 39,000 in chips.

Amaral Busts, Neilan Triples

Christopher Amaral started the day as one of the tournament short stacks, and consequently found himself all in on third street against three players.

Greg Mueller folded on fourth while Craig Neilan led the better on fourth and fifth street only to get raised by Vladimir Schmelev. Neilan called both times before check-raising on sixth all in.

Amaral: {10-Clubs}{6-Spades} / {6-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} / (X)
Neilan: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} / {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{K-Clubs} / (X)
Schmelev: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} / {9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{10-Spades} / (X)

"I'm drawing dead" commented Amaral at the sight of his opponent's down cards after seeing the fourth six - the {6-Hearts} - as one of his opponent's up cards before he folded.

Neilan revealed a {J-Diamonds} on seventh street and both Schemelev and Amaral folded their hands after not finding any improvement.

With Amaral hitting the rail, Neilan virtually tripled to over 51,000 in chips.

Fast Start for Buchman

Yesterday it was Dniel Negreanu's day to catch rolled-up hands and to make quads, including a really brutal hand against David Grey where Negreanu made quad jacks and Grey made quad sixes. Today might be Eric Buchman's day.

The 2009 November Niner started the day in third place in the chip counts. He quickly added to his stack in a hand against Edouard Mignot-Bonnefous by firing on every street. On sixth street, with Buchman's board showing a queen, two kings and an ace, Mignot-Bonnefous raised Buchman's bet. Buchman three-bet, then fired dark on the river. Mignot-Bonnefous called and saw the bad news -- Buchman made quad kings.

With that pot Buchman is up to about 135,000.

Gerasimov Crippled

Kiril Gerasimov led the action on fourth street only to get raised by David Ulliott. Gerasimov made the call before check-raising on fifth and firing on sixth after Ulliott called and then checked.

When seventh street fell, Ulliott fired out and Gerasimov made the call with both players boards reading as follows.

Gerasimov: (X)(X) / {9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{A-Spades}{9-Spades} / (X)
Ulliott: (X)(X) / {6-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} / (X)

Ulliott tabled his combined down cards of {A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for two-pair as Gerasimov mucked his hand while slipping to just 2,500 as Ulliot climbs over the 100,000-chip mark.

Ivey Chips Up at Sexton's Expense

Sexton: (X) (X) / {7-Diamonds} {q-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {a-Diamonds} / (X)
Ivey: (X) (X) / {a-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {4-Spades} / (X)

Keith Sexton was livid yesterday when, due to dealer error on the river, he lost a pot he should have won. Despite that setback, Sexton managed to hang on for the rest of the night and return today. But his day is off to a rocky start after running into the freight train known as Phil Ivey.

After Sexton completed third street, action folded to Ivey. He raised his ace and only Secton called. Ivey had the betting lead on every street and fired every step of the way until the river. On the river he checked, and Sexton checked behind. Ivey opened {k-Hearts} {k-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} in the hole for two pair, kings and nines. Those two pair dragged the pot and increased Ivey's count to 75,000. Sexton is down to 42,000.

Pescatori Catches Shamardin Fishing

Shamardin: (X) (X) / {2-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} / (X)
Pescatori: (X) (X) / {a-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {j-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} / (X)

Oleg Shamardin caught the bring-in for a recent hand. Max Pescatori was next to act and completed his ace, folding everyone back to Shamardin. Shamardin squeezed his hole cards and called.

Pescatori led fourth street and fifth street, with Shamardin calling each time. Pescatori still had the lead on sixth street but opted to check. Shamardin, with his board starting to straighten out, bet and was called.

The action was the same on the river, with Pescatori checking and calling a bet. Shamardin shook his head and showed only a pair of deuces; Pescatori opened {a-} {j-} {7-} for two pairs, aces and jacks.

Both players now have about 71,000 chips.
