WSOP Day 37: The summer camp schedule keeps rolling – here's what's happening today. 

Day 2 of the $1,000 Mini Main Event gets underway. Across the three Day 1 starting flights, 12,560 entrants ponied up the entry fee – now only 935 remain. 

The $5K 6-Handed NLH will play down to a winner. Markus Gonsalves leads the 7 remaining players. 

The $10K Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship will also crown a winner today. With 13 players still in the hunt, Maxx Coleman is in pole position in the chip counts. 

After a slow start to registration, the $100K PLO High Roller attracted 50 entrants on Day 1. Of that number, only 19 remain – but late registration remains open for the first two levels of Day 2. Artur Martirosian holds a commanding lead over the field – with Alex Foxen and Daniel Negreanu not far off.

Artur Martirosian leads $100K PLO after Day 1: Daniel Negreanu held the lead after entering on the dinner break, but Martirosian found a sun run to end with almost 6 million chips. Negreanu bagged close to 2 million, with 19 players progressing from a field of 50. Check the full report below. 

Benjamin Miner bubbles $10K Seven Card Stud: Caitlin Comeskey has survived for at least a min-cash of $20,320. Can she find a spin-up?

Daniel Negreanu at the top in $100K PLO High Roller: PLO is his game, and after entering at the dinner break today, he's wasted no time turning up the heat. He's more than tripled his starting stack and is sitting on over 2 million chips. Just 29 players remain from a field of 48.

Shaun Deeb wins his ninth WSOP bracelet! It was touch and go today. He almost went out in ninth but found a wheel in triple draw to survive. He was short in the heads-up against Dean Joe, but he battled back to win in a hand of PLO. "Too many seconds," he said as he was congratulated by his rail. Can he find another first this summer?

Shaun Deeb heads-up for a bracelet: He's got a slight lead over Dean Joe in the $1,500 8-Game Mixed and a win would be huge for him both in terms of the gold and the Player of the Year points.
