The $10,000 Mystery Bounty NLH plays down to a winner today – and that's a lock to feature on the stream.
Hopefully the cameras can bring us action from one of the tables in the $3,000 Nine Game Mix. Shaun Deeb holds a massive chip lead and is looking to improve on an uncharacteristically cold summer.

We'll see Day 2 action in the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship. With 69 players remaining, the chip counts read like a who's who list of mixed game masters.

As most will know, when players are heads-up the first card goes to the player NOT on the button. That error meant the hands were switched, and all the chips went in as 88 met AK. It would prove to be a decisive hand.
Shaun Deeb back on top: He's endured the worst WSOP of his life after being cursed by WWE wrestler Danhausen. Before today, he'd managed just one cash despite firing well over 60 bullets. But he's now bagged by far the biggest stack in the $3K Nine Game Mixed event – 3.5 million, compared to 1.7 million for David Williams in second. There are 21 remaining, and it resumes at 1pm on Friday when they'll play to a winner.
