It was moving day today for Event #6: $1,500 Seven Card Stud here at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas for the second day of limit action. A total of 359 players came out for this event to generate a prize pool of $476,572. Just 62 players returned for Day 2 today, but only 54 made the money and were guaranteed a minimum cash of $3,059. However, by night's end, just six players remained in contention for the WSOP bracelet and the first-place prize of $103,184.
Leading the way is New Jersey native Thomas Savitsky who bagged up 3,000,000. Savitsky has tournament cashes dating back to 2002, primarily in no-limit hold'em, but he has accumulated some mixed game results as well. He will need to finish in the top two to achieve a new career high score, and he has put himself in a position to do just that after a strong finish to the day.

An impressive cast of characters will be joining Savitsky on the final day. He is trailed by the UK's James Cheung, who has established himself as a force in mixed game tournaments over the last year.
Gregory Josephson rounds out the podium in third after a swingy day. The final three players in the counts are all 25K Fantasy draftees, with Brian Yoon, Bradley Jansen, and Jonathan Glendinning also returning for chance at glory.
