Event #62: $50,000 Poker Players Championship (6-Handed)
Jour 2 terminé
9 joueurs se sont inscrits avant l'entame du Jour 2 du WSOP Poker Players Championship à 50.000$ l'entrée pour porter l'affluence du tournoi à 100 joueurs tout juste. Après l'élimination de David Benyamine lors de la première journée de compétition, les quatre Français encore en lice ont sauté durant les 6 niveaux de 100 minutes au programme.
Bruno Fitoussi, Alexandre Luneau, Fabrice Soulier et Bertrand Grospellier ne gagneront pas le tournoi et Brian Rast ne signera pas une troisième victoire. Le tenant du titre a rendu les armes et c'est donc Michael Mizrachi qui s'installe sous le feu des projecteurs.
Auteur d'un back to back légendaire, The Grinder a ouvert la porte à un exploit de folie. Alors qu'il reste 44 joueurs, l'Américain est en troisième position du chipcount avec un tout petit peu plus d'un million de jetons. Malgré un début de journée compliqué, Mizrachi a envoyé des sacoches pour mettre la pression et empiler des jetons.
Aaron Katz (1,642,000) et Talal Shakerchi (1,480,500) ont monté une fortune aussi et trônent en tête du classement provisoire. Rien n'est joué puisque des terreurs de la trempe de Matthew Ashton, Shaun Deeb, Jason Mercier, Mike Matusow, Phil Galfond, Daniel Negreanu et Mike Sexton sont encore dans le coup. James Obst, Robert Mizrachi, Daniel Alaei, Alexander Kostritsyn, Ian Johns, Paul Volpe, Marco Johnson, David Oppenheim, Stephen Chidwick et Justin Bonomo ont aussi encore des jetons...
Sur le point d'être éliminé, Daniel Negreanu a passé la vitesse supérieure dans les trois dernières heures pour finir au dessus de la moyenne. Toujours mieux que les autres victimes du jour : Dzmitry Urbanovich, Johnny Chan, Phil Hellmuth, Mike Gorodinsky ou encore Gus Hansen...
Reprise du jeu aux alentours de 23 heures dans la nuit de mardi à mercredi avec un tournoi à suivre au plus près sur PokerNews...

The clock has been paused and four more hands will be played on each table before the bagging.
No-Limit Hold'em
Mixed-games wizard James Obst just proved he has some sharp elbows in no-limit hold'em, as well.
Obst was in the big blind, watching Aaron Katz open to 12,000 from the cutoff. Bryn Kenney three-bet to 31,500 and small blind Eugene Katchalov got out of the way, leaving the action to Obst.
Obst reached out to his stack and fired out a cold four-bet of 78,000. Katz released his hand quickly and Kenney followed suit.

Justin Bonomo picked up two and then three to a wheel on the first two cards and bet fourth, fifth and sixth against Isaac Haxton, who had a much rougher board that included two paint cards.
Bonomo: /
Haxton: /
Haxton, however, went nowhere, taking his time to think before making the last couple of calls. On seventh, Bonomo checked and called a bet from Haxton. Haxton tabled for an eight-six, and Bonomo couldn't beat it.
At another table, Ryan Miller lost his remaining chips.

On fourth street, Jason Mercier bet with ace-five showing, and Mike Sexton called. Mercier checked fifth street to Sexton, who bet. Mercier called and also check-called on sixth street.
Mercier bet out on seventh street and Sexton called. Much to everyone's surprise, Mercier flipped up for a Broadway straight. Sexton showed for trip eights, which was second best, and had to surrender the pot to Mercier.
"Starts with ace-five, comes up with Broadway," chuckled Mike Matusow.

2-7 Triple Draw
Eugene Katchalov, Aaron Katz, and Johannes Becker were involved in a big pot, paying three bets apiece after the second draw.
Becker stood pat while Katz and Katchalov both discarded one.
Becker led out and Katz raised. Katchalov folded and Becker quickly threw in the calling chip.
Unfortunately for him, Katz showed for a wheel, getting there on the last draw. Becker flipped what looked to be a seventy-six.
Katz, who was second in chips after Day 1, is now holding the biggest stack with less than 30 minutes left to play on Day 2.
