A star-studded field will assemble inside the Horseshoe Event Center when Day 2 of Event #25: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship begins at 1 p.m. local time.
From the 100 that tried their luck yesterday, just 46 players return for the event’s penultimate day. Leading the way is Adam Friedman, who utilized a late-night surge to bag the chip lead with 420,000. Friedman was also toward the top of the counts after Day 1 of the $10,000 Dealers Choice, but was only able to parlay that good start into a seventh-place finish.
Returning today second in chips is Dan Heimiller with 364,500. Heimiller just captured his third bracelet in the $1,500 Seven Card Stud. Rounding out the podium in third is none other than Daniel Negreanu with 302,000, who also has gotten off to a hot start this summer after a runner-up finish in the $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo Championship.

Day 1 had 100 players make their way to the Paris Convention Center, almost reaching last year's mark of 104 runners. Late registration remains open for the first level of the day, so it is a virtual guarantee for the field to surpass last year’s. The action picks up on Level 11 with limits of 4,000/8,000. Levels begin at 60 minutes but will be extended to 90 minutes beginning with Level 16. The schedule calls for eight levels to be played today.
