Event #55: $1,500 Seven Card Stud drew a total of 298 players, which generated a total prize pool of $402,300. The bustouts went fast following the third break of the day, and after ten hour-long levels of play, 68 players bagged up chips for Day 2.

Bryan Slick ended the day with 92,400 chips and is the overnight chipleader. Not far behind him are Jonathan Ulrich (77,300), John Bunch (69,000), Marcel Luske (64,300), Chris Vitch (61,700), and Michael Harris (61,700).

Rod Pardey Sr. (60,400), Wes Hickey (58,400), Tom Koral (58,200), Andre Akkari (54,000), Ian Johns (49,000), and Adam Owen (45,300) also found themselves toward the top of the counts by the end of the day. Also returning tomorrow are Dan Heimiller (37,100), Chris Tryba (32,900), and Andrey Zaichenko (16,200).

Some of those recognizable players unfortunate to bust out today included Greg Raymer, Naoya Kihara, Max Pescatori, Perry Friedman, Barry Greenstein, Marco Johnson, ElkY Grospellier, Benny Glaser, Jerry Wong, Jeff Lisandro, and Daniel Negreanu, who registered late and was eliminated shortly before the final break of the night.

Opponent: {J-Clubs}{A-Spades} / {A-Hearts}{5-Spades}{A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} / {3-Spades}

Mike Leah had a bad final two levels of the day and was down to just over 3,000 in chips. On third street, Leah and an opponent got it in after a series of raises.

Leah hit two pair on fifth street, but his opponent found a third ace to send Leah in a deep hole. The Canadian failed to fill up by the river and was eliminated in the last fifteen minutes of the day.

It was fifth street and seat 2 checked his pair of fives. The next player checked and John Bunch bet. Both opponents called. On sixth street, it checked to Bunch again and he bet. The next player folded and seat 4 called.

They both checked seventh street and Bunch showed {A-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} for aces up, good for the pot.

Level 10 : 1,000-2,000, 200 ante

Jonathan Ulrich has been chipping up rapidly in the late levels of the night and he just took down another pot to add to his chip lead.

Ulrich: {X-}{X-}/{K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Opponent: {X-}{X-}/{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} - fold

We picked up the action fourth street and a double bet went in with Ulrich showing a pair of kings. On fifth street, Ulrich bet and his opponent called. Ulrich got another king on sixth street and he bet again. His opponent shook his head and frustratedly showed {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} in the hole before he folded.
