Player of the Year Frontrunners Negreanu and Obst Into Day 2 of Event #44

Level 10 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Daniel Negreanu (5th) and James Obst (1st) are both in the top five of the World Series of Poker Player of the Year race. Both players have had a great series already and have now made Day 2 of Event #44. They will join the 154 other players in Day 2, starting at 2 p.m. Friday.

Negreanu and Obst both joined around level four and Negreanu bagged 44,900, while Obst bagged 62,100.

Andre Akkari bagged the unofficial chip lead with 110,100. He went on a roll after busting Paul Volpe and gained about 50,000 in the last level of play.

Phil Hellmuth bagged 36,100 in his quest for the so-far elusive bracelet number 15. Ben Yu has had a solid couple days since winning his second bracelet in the $10,000 2-7 Triple Draw tournament and finishing fourth in the $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship. He also finished 40th in the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Max Championship right before registering for this event. He bagged 44,900.

Jason Mercier (76,400) and Natasha Mercier (21,000) each bagged as well. Jason fell short early, getting to half of the starting stack in the early levels, but managed to bag one of the bigger stacks in the remaining field.

Brandon Shack-Harris also had trouble early, but he was unable to run it back up and was eliminated early in play today. James Woods, Esther Taylor, and Jared Bleznick all fired today and missed the Day 2 cut.

You can follow all the Day 2 action right here on PokerNews as Negreanu, Obst, and the rest of this star-studded field compete for a spot in Day 3 and take another step closer to WSOP gold.
