In his latest vlog, Daniel Negreanu takes on Day 2 $50K Poker Players Championship: It's his favorite event of the year – roll the tape to see how it goes.
The World Series of Poker train isn't stopping anytime soon – here's what to watch for today:
The $1,500 Millionaire Maker rolls on to Day 4 action with 62 players remaining.
After three Day 1 flights, the $1,000 PLO moves on to Day 2 action with 213 players still chasing the bracelet.
The $500 Salute to Warriors enters its final day of play – 2006 Main Event winner Jamie Gold leads the 35 remaining combatants.
The $50,000 PPC continues with Day 3 action – with a field chock full of poker's brightest minds.
The remaining players in the $1,000 Super Seniors will battle it out on Day 2 play. As will the 312 remaining players in the $2,500 NLH, all of whom are led by two-time bracelet winner Blaz Zerjav.
And, last but not least, there are three events kicking off today: the $1,000 Mystery Millions, the $25,000 High Roller PLO/NLH Mixed, and the $1,500 Freezeout NLH.
Millionaire Maker down to 62: Bo Chen leads the way after winning a huge pot against ACR Poker Pro Rob Kuhn right at the end of the night. He bagged 13.3 million, while Kuhn was knocked back to 1.1 million. That will make for a tough night's sleep.
While you're waiting for Day 4 to start at 11am tomorrow, you can watch the Day 3 stream below. The Kuhn hand comes right at the end.
Bags out in the $50K PPC: 39 players are left and just 17 will get paid when the bubble bursts on Tuesday. Two players ended the day on more than 2 million – Kristopher Tong and Benny Glaser. Phil Hellmuth had a successful Day 2 spin-up and ended the night with triple his starting stack. Phil Ivey isn't far behind. Read our full Day 2 report below:
Michelle Chin has won the $1,500 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw 6-Handed for $161,313: She defeated Daniel Strelitz heads-up for the bracelet, and her first tournament win in 11 years. It's the second bracelet won by a woman this summer after Kristen Foxen took down the $25K High Roller.
Going for Gold on Tuesday: Jamie Gold ended the night as chip leader in the $500 Salute to Warriors. 35 players remain, including Lexy Gavin-Mather in 23rd, and will return at 11am tomorrow to play to a winner.
Check out Mike Patrick's report and interview with Gold:
There are no easy tables in the PPC: Just hard, harder and wtf?
Super Seniors off to bed: They started early, so it's only fair they finish early. A total of 3,323 players entered and 836 survived to Day 2, including Greg Raymer with a 63bb stack. Antonio Gheller (below) will sleep well after bagging the biggest stack – and he'll be dreaming of the $355,263 first prize. It's an 11am restart for them tomorrow.
Pimp his ride: When we saw Jack Effel shoot past on Mike Matusow's mobility scooter, we assumed we'd hit that point in the summer. As it turns out, there was method to the madness.
