The second day of Event #40: $10,000 Seven Card Stud 8 or Better Championship has come to an end here at the 2022 World Series of Poker at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas. The field of stud masters endured just over 13 hours of play while culling down the entrants to just 15 remaining players.
At the top of the list sits Chad Eveslage with 1,131,000. Eveslage hovered near the top of the leaderboard for much of the day before overtaking Shaun Deeb (1,017,000) in the final level of play. At one point, Eveslage asked tablemate John Monnette (271,000), "How rich would you be if you ran as good as me?"

End of Day Action
The story of the evening was the grueling play at the bubble. Hoping to cash, runners played 45 hands in a hand-for-hand format while waiting for the final player to bust before the money was reached. Ultimately, it was Dominik Baud who exited one shy of the money when he ran into a full house of Eric Kurtzman (780,000). The lengthy hand-for-hand play added on quite a bit of time to the day, but players and the tournament director decided to play the full seven levels as planned.
Deeb was the chip leader for most of the latter half of the day. During bubble play, he was aggressive with three short stacks on his left, and he was able to build his stack well over the one million mark. He did lose a big hand in the final level of play when his low draw, flush draw, and pair of aces could not improve in a three-way pot that went the distance. He still sits in second place, just behind Eveslage.
On account of the long day, play will restart at 3 p.m. local time tomorrow inside of the Bally's Event Center. Levels will still be 90-minutes long with ten-minute breaks after every level. The tournament is scheduled to be completed in three days, but the possibility of a fourth day was discussed among the tournament staff. Tomorrow's play will ultimately decide the plan.
PokerNews will be there every step of the way as these eight or better experts look to become the next prestigious gold bracelet winner. Tune in right here tomorrow to follow along.

Level 17
All seven levels of planned play have finished for the night and players are bagging their chips for Day 3. A full recap will be posted shortly.
Level 17
Yuval Bronshtein: 
Eric Kurtzman: 
Yuval Bronshtein completed before Eric Kurtzman made the second bet on his left. Bronshtein eventually got it all in for less than four bets and cards were exposed.
"Low and a diamond. I'll take a chop, I'm not greedy," said Bronshtein.
Bronshtein found a low card, but no diamonds. He made a pair, but Kurtzman made two pair and Bronshtein was out.

Level 17
Ryan Miller: 
Todd Brunson: 
David Funkhouser completed, on his left Todd Brunson made the second bet. Ryan Miller decided to move all in for just under the full third bet.
Funkhouser folded and Brunson made the call.
Miller was working with kings and Brunson had him dominated with aces. They both improved to two pair, so Miller was eliminated.

Chris Tryba:

Brandon Shack-Harris: 
/
Eric Kurtzman: 
/
Picking action up on sixth street, Chris Tryba put his last bet in and was raised to the full 30,000 big bet by Eric Kurtzman. Brandon Shack-Harris was also short, and decided to commit himself to the pot, calling and leaving himself just 5,000 chips behind.
On seventh street, Kurtzman put Shack-Harris all in, and while the two-time bracelet winner didn't love it, he put the last of his chips in as well.
Kurtzman showed an ace-high flush with a six low for an absolute monster, crushing Tryba's trip tens and Shack Harris' pair of aces.
