Day 2 Set to Begin
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!
