It's a game where scooping a large pot is often quite difficult to do, and the bunched up leaderboard heading into Day 2 would prove nothing else. Trent Gundrum managed to find himself leading the 174 players returning for Day 2 of Event #25: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better. He will be bringing forward a stack of 72,000 chips, just slightly ahead of the rest of the field.

Gundrum is a bit of an unknown to the poker world. In fact, he has yet to record a single tournament cash in his career but will be looking to change that today. There is still a way to go before the money is reached with a total of 90 players getting paid and a min-cash being worth $2,246. Gundrum will have some stiff competition to deal with throughout the day, including world-known tournament director, Matt Savage (46,700), on his direct left to begin the day.

Some other notables to make it through with solid chip stacks include three-time WSOP bracelet winner Eli Elezra who bagged a top three stack of 71,500. He will also be joined by his wife, Hila, who will be on the short stack with 7,500 chips. Meanwhile Nicholas Derke (66,400), Benjamin Dobson (57,200), Timothy Frazin (48,200), Nick Kost (47,600), Jeff Madsen (47,100), and Alex Livingston (45,200) all find themselves in a great position moving forward.

The action is scheduled to get underway at 2:00 p.m. local time inside the Miranda Room of the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino. The blinds will resume at Level 11 with another ten levels on tap for today. The levels will be 60-minutes in length with a 15-minute break after every two levels and a 60-minute dinner break after the sixth level. The remaining players will then bag up to return for Day 3 where a winner will be crowned.

Karen Longfellow: {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} / {A-Hearts}{2-}{5-}{Q-} / {X-}
Sergey Selin: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts} / {6-Spades}{10-}{10-}{Q-} / {2-}

Longfellow started with three wheel cards but failed to make a low while Selin had a pair of treys in the hole. He made two pair and sent Longfellow to the rail shortly after the day started.

John Holley: {x-}{x-} / {6-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts} / {x-}

There was a four-bet on third street with four players still in the pot. Shaun Deeb led out on fourth street and was called by Richard Radford and John Holley. Radford took the betting lead on fifth but the action was still checked to Deeb who tossed in another bet. Radford and Holley continued to call again.

On sixth, the action checked around and players received their final card face down. The action checked to Deeb again and he picked up where he left off with another bet. Radford called and Holley elected to fold. Deeb flipped over {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for a seven-low and Radford tabled {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for a flush to take the high.

Scott Bohlman: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} / {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{A-Clubs}

Dmitry Chop: {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{X-} / {3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}

On third street, James Richburg completed and Dmitry Chop raised. Scott Bohlman three-bet and both Richburg and Chop called.

Richburg and Chop both hit another low card on fourth and Chop was pressing to the max, betting, then raising and finally five-betting. Bohlman was just a passive caller while Richburg was the one who exchanged raises with Chop.

They were still three-way to fifth street with Bohlman's board catching third heart. Richburg had a pair of sixes out and bet-called Chop's raise while Bohlman stuck around, calling.

Richburg ended up all-in on sixth, having fewer than a bet behind. Chop had four low cards out and made it a full bet. Bohlman called again and then bet the river himself. Chop called to make a three-way showdown.

Each of the players showed trips with Bohlman taking the high half as he had three aces. Chop failed to make a low despite of a strong board. He showed his frustration as Bohlman and Richburg chopped his money.

Mark Fisher: {X-}{X-}{X-} / {10-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

Two players including Calvin Anderson folded on fourth street, leaving George Reichnitzer and Mark Fisher heads-up to the following rounds.

Reichnitzer was betting on every street, spiking an ace on sixth. Fisher's board boasted three low cards and he called all Reichnitzer's bets.

"Aces," Reichnitzer said, turning up his hole cards. Fisher made sure he heard aces and then said, "Aces are good," before mucking his hand.

Kessler Staves Off Elimination

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Allen Kessler: {x-}{x-} / {8-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} / {x-}
James Opie: {x-}{x-} / {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} / {x-}

After arriving at the table with the action on seventh street, Allen Kessler was left with a mere 3,000 chips in front of him. Upon receiving his seventh card, Kessler announced to the table that he was betting in the dark.

"You're here to get my bustout?" Kessler piped up.

Opie called and the third player in the hand reluctantly folded. Kessler already knew that he had half of the pot locked up with a flush, but he was also looking to make a low hand. He peeled his other card and then tabled {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. "I have an eight-six low," Kessler said with excitement.

Unfortunately for him, Opie already had a seven low with {8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and the two players chopped up the pot.

Gerard Reichnitzer: {X-}{X-}{X-} / {7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}

Jeff Madsen left the contest on fifth street where Brian Hastings' and Gerard Reichnitzer's boards featured three low cards apiece.

Hastings then called Reichnitzer's bet on sixth after making a pair of fives while Reichnitzer picked up yet another low card.

The river was checked and Hastings announced that he made sevens up. Reichnitzer couldn't peel a fifth low card and conceded the pot despite a promising board.
