Niveau 20 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Ils ne sont plus que 15 en lice sur le H.O.R.S.E. Championship à 10.000$ des World Series Of Poker. Daniel Negreanu a fait l'écart en tête du classement provisoire, le Canadien est bien placé pour attraper une 3e finale sur le festival et son 7e bracelet dans le Nevada !

Le Jour 2 avait commencé avec 57 survivants et Jean Montury n'a malheureusement pas réussi à atteindre les 23 places payées du tournoi. Verdict identique pour John Racener, Michael Mizrachi, Adam Friedman, Maria Ho, Eric Wasserson, Ben Yu, David "ODB" Baker, Phil Hellmuth, Howard Lederer, Benny Glaser, Mike Sexton ou encore le vainqueur 2015 de cet événement, Andrew Barber.

Eliminé à la rivière par David Bach lors d'une main de Omaha Hi-Lo, Owais Ahmed termine bubble-boy de ce HORSE Championship. Stephen Chidwick (21e), Craig Chait (19e), Esther Taylor (18e), Tom McCormick (17e) et brandon Shack-Harris ont fait l'argent mais ne sont plus dans la course aux 383,208$ promis au vainqueur.

Chipleader à l'issue du Jour 1 d'un tournoi dont il est le tenant du titre, le quintuple vainqueur WSOP Jason Mercier a lui passé l'obstacle et sera au rendez-vous du Jour 3, dans la nuit de samedi à dimanche. Avec 541 000 jetons, tout est possible pour le futur papa...

Negreanu. Mercier. Rast. Zinno. Les patrons du poker sont encore nombreux et le Kid Poker est donc encore loin d'avoir la victoire en poche. Avec 1,2 million de jetons et 450 000 chips de plus que son plus proche poursuivant, le Canadien a tout de même de quoi gérer.

Scott Bohlman (756,000), Don Zewin (704,000), Richard Chase (647,000) et Brian Rast (553,000) n'ont pas dit leur dernier mot sur un tournoi à suivre en direct sur PokerNews.

Leading the final 15 players into Day 3 is six-time WSOP bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu who bagged an impressive 1,213,000 in chips to have over 450,000 more then his nearest rival. Negreanu rode a heat wave of cards that began just before dinner break and then on return which saw him become the first person to enter the seven-figure club. Negreanu did drop back into the pack during the last level of play, but a late surge saw him end the day as chip leader and primed for his third final table of the series and potentially a finish better then the 2nd and 3rd he has already collected.

On Negreanu's heels are Scott Bohlman (756,000), Don Zewin (704,000), Richard Chase (647,000), and Brian Rast (553,000). However, what might be just as impressive as Negreanu's three day 3s, is the fact that defending champion and Day 1 chip leader Jason Mercier is still alive and sitting with an impressive 541,000. Although Mercier is having a relatively quiet WSOP compared to his normal lofty standards, a back-to-back victory here in this H.O.R.S.E. Championship may just be one of the greatest WSOP achievements in the modern era. Plenty of talented and savvy poker veterans still remain, and come Day 3, it truly is still anyone's tournament to win.

The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be back on Saturday at 2 p.m. (PDT) to provide continuous live updates of the Event #30: $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship as we play down until the next World Series of Poker bracelet winner is crowned!
