Selbst, Lindgren, Deeb Chipleaders At Start Of Day 2

Event #35 was the first time a six-handed PLO event graced the World Series of Poker Schedule, but judging by the turnout and the quality of the names at the top, we can assume it is a big hit. The event drew an impressive 507 entrants, creating a prizepool of $2,382,900 and a humongous $619,575 first prize.

We are down to 105 from our starting 507, and of those remaining, there are a multitude of big names at the top. Team PokerStars Pro (USA) Vanessa Selbst (who won a PLO bracelet in 2008) was our huge overnight chip leader with 250,300, over 40,000 more than second place Eric Lindgren (208,000). Also near the top are Shaun Deeb (195,000), EPT champion Mike "timex" McDonald (181,800), 2011 LAPC champ Gregory Brooks (147,000)

While Selbst and company finished the day out strong, plenty of big names also fell on Day 1. Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, Carlos Mortensen, Galen Hall, Sammy Farha, Barry Greenstein, Eric Baldwin, Joe Cada, Robert Williamson, Yevgeniy Timoshenko, Scott Seiver, and Daniel Negreanu (who at one point held the chip lead) amongst others will not be joining us here at the start of Day 2.

Other pros who successfully navigated the field and will start here on Day 2 are David “Devilfish” Ulliott (125,000), Joe Hachem (55,000), Brian Rast (105,500), Layne Flack (93,500), Andy Seth (101,800), Jeff Lisandro (62,800), and Jason Mercier (56,800). Also making it through here to Day 2 were Kevin Boudreau and Chance Kornuth, the runner-up and winner of last year’s $5,000 PLO event (though that one was played nine handed), who happened to play at the same table much of the day.

Another name to watch is the man, the myth, the legend himself, Tom "durrrr" Dwan. Dwan had and lost the chip lead at least three times yesterday and his crazy, aggressive, play-every-hand-no-matter-what style will make him a fun and interesting player to watch here on Day 2. If he runs well, he may be our chip leader within a few hours, but if not, he could very well be out within minutes. Either way, he is someone we will definitely have our eyes on as he looks to make his first deep run of this year's WSOP.

The remaining field will begin playing here at 2:30 PM PST. We’ll surely hit the money and most likely come close to a final table of six. Join us then as the PokerNews Live Reporting Team brings you all the action, hands, and eliminations from the $5,000 PLO/Six-Handed Event! See you there.

Lisandro Claims an Early Bounty

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

We came to Jeffrey Lisandro's table as the flop read {3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{a-Clubs}. Lisandro bet out 5,000, and his opponent, Alessandro Nocerino, moved all in for 15,000. Lisandro called quickly, and the players tabled their cards.

Lisandro: {q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Spades}
Nocerino: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{x-Clubs}

Both players had flush draws, but Lisandro's was the better one. And when the {8-Clubs} hit the turn, Nocerino was drawing dead. The river came the {8-Diamonds}, and Lisandro instantly added Nocerino's stack to his, upping him to 83,000.

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

As opposed to the fast and furious action we witnessed during yesterday's Day 1, most of the players have now started at a snail's place this afternoon here in the Amazon Room.

In an earlier hand over on table 366, the action folded around to Jesper Hougaard who raised to 2,500 from the button. Stephane Tayar called from the big blind, only to check-fold after Hougaard flung out 3,400 after the flop of {9-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{6-Clubs}.

It's been very much the same for the uber-aggressive Tom Dwan - after Micah Smith came in with a raise worth 2,400 from the cutoff, Dwan called out of the small blind, as did Benjamin Spindler from the big blind to go three-handed to the flop of {5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Dwan checked to Spindler, who fired out 5,000, but both Smith and Dwan folded their hands.

Early Pot for Bastin

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Gregory Bastin raised to 2,500 under the gun and received a call from Jared Bleznick in middle position and Joe Hachem on the button. All three players proceeded to checked the {9-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{J-Spades} flop, leading to the {6-Clubs} on the turn. Hachem and Bastin both checked, allowing Bleznick to bet 5,000. Hachem folded, Bastin called, and the {8-Hearts} appeared on the river.

The action went check-check as Bastin showed {J-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} for queens and jacks. It was good as Bleznick rapped the table and mucked his hand.

Cheong Chops

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Over on table 368, we picked up the action four-handed into a raised pot on a flop of {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs}. Praz Bansi checked from the big blind, as did Hans Winzeler before Joseph Cheong led out for 5,500. Robert Shortway folded from the button, as did Bansi before Winzeler called before the dealer produced the turn of the {A-Clubs}.

Winzeler checked and Cheong opened for 14,500, but Winzeler then check-raised the pot. Cheong called and the cards were tabled:

Cheong: {Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Winzeler: {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}

The river was the useless {2-Clubs} and with both players holding the eight-high straight, they took an equal share of the pot.

Seth vs. Devilfish

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Andy Seth raised to 2,500 from middle position and received a call from David "Devilfish" Ulliott on the button. The blinds cleared out and it was heads up to the {10-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} flop. Seth was first to act and bet 4,000, which Devilfish called. Both players then checked the {6-Clubs} turn, leading to the {A-Diamonds} river.

Again both players checked and Devilfish said, "Three queens," before turning over {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. Sith double checked his cards before slinging them to the muck.
