Pot-Limit Omaha
Five players limped to see a flop come 
, at which point it folded around to Daniel Negreanu in the cutoff who bet 4,500. All folded back to Minh Ly, sitting on Negreanu's right, who then announced he was raising the pot, and Negreanu quickly tossed away his hand.

"It's Canada Day," we heard an excited Greg "FBT" Mueller at the start of Day 2.
Mueller, a former hockey player, hails from Canada and is proudly celebrating the national day of Canada, known in French as Fête du Canada, bu wearing a loud Canada shirt.
We'd have written about this earlier, but alas we had to wait for a decent picture to do Mueller's patriotism justice.
For those who don't know, Canada celebrates July 1, 1867, the day the Constitution Act (AKA British North America Act) was enacted. The act united three colonies into a single country (present day Canada).
So from all of us at PokerNews, and Mueller himself, HAPPY CANADA DAY!
Happy Canada day!!! Miss my friends and family and home!! #OCanada #Hockey #KetchupChips http://t.co/O7HQxOKGqkFollow @GregFBT
After surviving with a short stack through the first level of Day 2, Abe Mosseri returned to Level 7 only to lose the last of his chips quickly and exit.
There are presently 118 players still remaining from the starting field of 132.

Pot-Limit Omaha
Rory Mathews opened for 2,500 from early position and received a call from Randy Ohel in middle position. Daniel Harmetz then three-bet to 11,700 from the button, the small blind folded and Cole South four-bet the size of the pot, making it an additional 29,200. Mathews quickly folded and then Ohel, who was short, thought for about a minute before calling off for 24,200.
Harmetz folded and Ohel was excited. "I'm getting a good price now," he exclaimed.
Ohel: 
South: 
The 
flop pair Ohel's queen, but he needed some more help to overcome South's aces. The 
turn allowed him to do just that by giving him two pair, but the river counterfeited him by giving South aces and fours. With that, Ohel exited the tournament area.
