Welcome back to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino and the 2017 World Series of Poker (WSOP) for Day 2 of Event #72: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship!

One of the final events of this year's WSOP saw 88 players take to the felt for the Stud Championship which would be one more than last year's instalment of the event. These 88 players would create a prize pool of $827,200 that would ensure the final 14 players a guaranteed $14,667 payday, while $245,451 and the WSOP gold bracelet will await up top for whoever is the last standing.

Day 1 was played at an incredibly fast pace in comparison to most of the $10,000 buy-ins that have run this year, and consequently just 29 players remained at day's end. Leading those players was John Monnette who finished with 371,000 in chips, and, after already pocketing a bracelet this year in the $10,000 2-7 Single Draw Championship, he'll be looking to add another along with 2017 WSOP Player of the Year honors where he currently sits in third place behind Ryan Hughes and John Racener.

Perry Friedman (363,500) and Shaun Deeb (343,000) are the only other players above the 300,000-chip mark while Chris Tryba (285,500), Chris Vitch (257,000), Andre Akkari (245,500), and Eric Wasserson (201,000) round out the chip counts with players over 200,000 in chips. Also still in contention include multiple WSOP bracelet winners Chris Ferguson (189,000), David Bach (169,500), Jason Mercer (156,000), Brandon Shack-Harris (52,000), and Ben Yu (35,000).

The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be providing continuous live updates of all the action from Day 2 of the Event #72: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship when play resumes at 2:00 p.m. (PDT). So stay tuned right here as we look to catch every set of rolled-up trips, split pair, and seventh street outdraw live from the 2017 WSOP and Event #72.

On seventh, Bach bet out and Tryba released his hand.

Alex Luneau found himself all in against Sean Mirrasouli on either third or fourth street as each player's boards ran out as follows:

Luneau: {7-Clubs}{2-Clubs} / {2-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Mirrasouli: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} / {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Hearts}{A-Spades}

Once the dealer pitched sixth street and Luneau saw he was drawing dead against aces full, he made a quick exit of the tournament area.

On seventh, Mirrasouli found the {J-Hearts} as Luneau's final card was revealed to be a meaningless {2-Hearts}.

"These tournaments are all luck. I play skill games. I don't sell action because I'm a good poker player that wins!" stated Jared Bleznick.

Bleznick continued to discuss things more before Shaun Deeb chimed in, and the talk slowly headed toward a prop bet for next WSOP.

"You have a bet, I promise you. I'll book you. Minimum bet is $50k. All you have to do is win. Just win $1, and you win the bet. I just want to bet against you!" added Bleznick in the direction of Deeb.

"When you said, 'book me,' I thought you meant something entirely different. It's not the bet I want to make," responded Deeb.

Ryan Miller completed to 8,000, and Shaun Deeb raised to 16,000. Miller re-raised it back to 24,000, and Deeb called.

Deeb bet on fourth street, and Miller called before he bet his final 8,000 on fifth. Deeb called.

Miller: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} / {J-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{A-Hearts}
Deeb: {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs} / {6-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

With Miller at risk, he caught the {7-Clubs} on sixth, but when Deeb found the {10-Clubs}, he was thrust into the lead to leave Miller drawing dead. Miller's seventh street was the {A-Spades}, and Deeb was dealt the {8-Diamonds}.

As Miller headed to the rail in 15th place, the final 14 players were guaranteed a payday of at least $14,667 apiece.
