Phil Hellmuth: /
Michael Noori: / /
Eli Elezra: / /
We picked up the action at the showdown when Eli Elezra tabled the for a pair of sixes and an eight-six low. Noori mucked and said, "I had an eight-seven."
Elezra got off to a rough start here on Day 2, but as Level 9 comes to an end it looks like he's turned things around and is now headed in the right direction.

Brian Hastings: / (FOLD)
Paul Volpe: /
Daniel Negreanu: /
Hastings brought it in, Volpe completed, and both Negreanu and Hastings called. On fourth street, Negreanu and Hastings both checked to Volpe, who bet. The two players called.
Negreanu made trips on fifth street, Volpe a pair of aces, and Volpe opted to check. Negreanu bet, Hastings folded, and Volpe called.
Negreanu led out, and Volpe folded.
Up until yesterday, Jason Mercier had failed to make a single Day 2. Then last night, while playing both this event and Event #12: $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em, he suddenly found himself bagging up in two different tournaments.
While Mercier had to bounce from the Amazon Room to the Pavilion yesterday (which is a little bit of a hike), today he's got it made as both tournaments are happening in the Purple Section of the Amazon Room.
Mercier is already in the money in Event #12, and only time will tell if he can go two for two.
Poker legend David Sklansky has been eliminated with unknown action.
