Big Names Including Daniel Negreanu in $1,500 8-Game Day 2

Will Shillibier

Daniel Negreanu

A field of 104 players will retake their seats today with Day 2 of the $1,500 8-Game Mix 6-Handed with a whole host of star names still in the hunt for a bracelet.

While the likes of Vanessa Selbst, Paul Volpe, Max Pescatori, and David Bach all exited on Day 1, there are still plenty of players with rich and storied poker-playing careers still in.

Last year's $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball bracelet winner Christopher Vitch leads after eliminating the aforementioned Bach in one of the last hands of the night. Joining him in Day 2 is six-time bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu who, after getting an all-in through early on, never looked in trouble on his way to bagging up an above-average stack.

Other players include Frenchmen Fabrice Soulier and Alex Luneau, Sam Grafton, Tom Schneider, Carol Fuchs, Naoya Kihara, Josh Beckley, Eli Elezra, Shaun Deeb, David "ODB" Baker, Jimmy Fricke, and Mike Watson.

Also in the field is Jason and Natasha Mercier, who bagged up near-identical stacks. We will have to wait and see how their respective stacks trend when plays gets underway at 2 p.m. later today.

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Stud Hi-Lo:

Barry Greenstein was one the shortest stacks coming back for Day 2 and he couldn't spin his way back up. Greenstein was up against Daniel Negreanu and Joe Serock and his cards went into muck when he saw Negreanu making a wheel for the nut-low while Serock took the other half of the pot, showing {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} for kings full.

Michael Fant Draws to Three Outs to Stay Alive

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw:

Action was on the last draw after Michael Fant had committed his last 1,500 chips to the pot against Daniel Negreanu. The Canadian had stood pat and Fant was agonising over his decision. Eventually he drew one.

"Good break," said Negreanu, showing {8-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{2-}.

Fant showed {8-}{6-}{4-}{2-} and was alive, albeit drawing very thin with only a three meaning he would stay in the tournament.

He flipped over a {3-}. "Holy shit!" said Negreanu, and a grateful Fant gathered in his chips.

Mercier Beats Bevans in Lowball

Jan_Kores

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw:

Jason Mercier raised from the button and both players in blinds called him — Karim Bevans from the small blind and Stephen Chidwick, who was recently moved to this table, from the big blind.

Bevans drew one, Chidwick two, and Mercier three. Action checked to Mercier, who continued with a bet. Bevans raised, forcing Chidwick out of the pot. Mercier stuck around.

Both players then drew for one card with Mercier praying. "Oh, please," he said before looking at his new card. No bets were made on that street and Bevans and Mercier both drew for one again.

Bevans checked and Mercier announced what he was going to do. "I am only gonna bet if I make something sweet." He did bet and Bevans mumbled something about pairs before throwing his hand into muck.

While raking in the pot, Mercier declared, "I had eight."

"Hey baby," said Natasha Mercier as her husband and five-time bracelet winner Jason Mercier approached her table after his was broken.

"I asked them to give me another seat," said Jason tongue-in-cheek. "How much have you got?" he asked.

"About the same as you," replied Natasha.

"Well if you're going to give them to anyone..." said Jason, but he was interrupted by tablemate Shaun Deeb.

"Oh, I'm gonna be watching!" he said. "Every bet I'm gonna be watching!"

Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better:

Andrii Nadieliaiev came into the day with under 10,000 and had dwindled to just over 4,000 before he opened from the hijack. Christopher Vitch asked how much he had behind before raising. It folded back to Nadieliaiev who moved all in and Vitch called.

Nadieliaiev: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Vitch: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{q-Spades} and Nadieliaiev doubled up.
