Perhaps flushed by Jake Cody's success last night, several of the Brits have decided to play in today's event.
One slight problem.
They've never played deuce to seven before so Stuart Rutter (who does play mixed games) is attempting to explain how it all works and what the rules are. Potentially hilarious consequences incoming.
Phil Hellmuth had fired 475 after the draw only to be check-raised all in by his opponent. The eleven time bracelet winner elected to fold and his opponent turned over a pair of 
for a bluff. Hellmuth immediately threw in a rebuy chip to boost his stack back up.
A player in middle position made it 100 to go and found a call from a player in late position and the small blind. Jean-Robert Bellande, however, decided 100 wasn't enough and raised the action to 400. Just the initial raiser called.
Bellande stood pat and his opponent drew one. Before he had even looked at his card, the opponent was facing a 100 chip bet from Bellande. After thinking a moment, the player decided to raise to 800 and Bellande called.

The opponent had clearly missed and got soul read by Bellande who is off to a great start.

David Williams has doubled up his initial 1,500 stack after tweeting that he made a Number One 
to scoop the pot.
From the button, Seed raised to 115 and the small blind three bet to 335. Seed immediately threw the rest of his 2,000 chips in and the small blind, who about 1,500 to start the hand, tanked.
Eventually he called and drew one. Seed stood pat. "You got a big one?" his opponent asked. "No, just a Ten-Eight," Seed replied.
His opponent took his draw card and turned it face up, it was the 
and his original four cards were irrelevant. Luckily he still had chips to rebuy with and wasn't sent to the rail just yet.
Low Ball Action
From under the gun, Michael Binger raised to 150 and David Williams called from the button. Each drew one and Binger checked to Williams. Williams fired out 400 and Binger, who called, revealed a 
. Williams mucked and Binger has moved to 2,200 with a rebuy.
It's a short day for Phil Hellmuth, having been bluffed off an earlier pot by Michael Jensen Hellmuth was all in drawing one card to an eight-six against Jensen's . Jensen picked up a for a ten-low but Hellmuth declared he had paired his six and mucked his hand.
