Welcome to Day 2 of Event #40: $2,500 Mixed Big Bet

One of the more unique events on the World Series of Poker schedule, Event #40: $2,500 Mixed Big Bet, is set for a Day 2 that will start at 2 p.m. at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino.

While most mixed games are comprised of a cadre of limit poker variants, the big bet mix put together by the WSOP, this one features Big O, 2-7 single draw, pot-limit Omaha hi-lo, no-limit five-card draw, pot-limit Omaha and pot-limit 2-7 triple draw. Some games include a button ante to pump up the pot even more.

The six-handed format screams action and thats exactly what happened on a busy Day 1 that saw 51 of 205 entries advance. Several notables are among that number, including none other than "Johnny World" Hennigan who hopped into the event in a "who loves it more" moment right after finishing second in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship.

Jeff Lisandro, John Racener, Eli Elezra, Mike Matusow, and Brandon Shack-Harris also bagged big stacks and are in good shape, while Naoya Kihara will return to the chip lead to start today.

The Day 2 schedule calls for 10 more levels with 15-minute breaks after every two levels and a dinner break after the sixth level of play. Things will kick off with blinds of 400/800 in the multiple-round betting games and 500/1,000 in the two single-draw variants.

Stay tuned to PokerNews to see who will best position themselves for $122,138 and a bracelet in this fun, exciting event.
