Recent Bracelet Winners Join the Field

Level 2 : 25/50, 15 ante

The field just got a bit tougher as two recent bracelet winners joined the field. They were already among two of the games' best players, but George Danzer and Calvin Anderson lacked the WSOP hardware until recently. Danzer earned a victory in the $10,000 Seven-Card Razz Championship, while Anderson took down the $1,500 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low tournament yesterday.

Level 2 : 25/50, 15 ante

Joseph Cheong raised to 250 in the cutoff, Eli Elezra reraised to 615 on the button and Cheong called.

Cheong drew one card, Elezra stood pat and Cheong checked. Elezra bet 700 and Cheong took a final look at his hand. He smirked and folded {7-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{3-} for a straight, prompting Elezra to let out a good chuckle as he showed {7-}{7-}{7-} while he collected the pot.
