Here's a look at the new seat draw. The players are on a short break, but action should resume in about five minutes.

Unofficial Final Table

We caught up with the action on fourth street, where both players checked. The two knuckled again on fifth, and Abrams check-called a bet on sixth. Abrams checked dark going to seventh, Misteff bet dark, and Abrams tank-called.

"Wheel," Misteff said, fanning . Abrams mucked, leaving less than 10,000 chips behind, and was eliminated soon after.

The nine remaining players are now headed to the Pavilion Room stage.

Calvin Anderson battled with a short stack all day, but he was unable to survive long enough to make the unofficial final table. When we reached Table 447 moments ago, Anderson was already all in on fourth street. We're not certain what each players' down cards were, but we know their four cards looked like this:

Brendan Taylor:
Anderson:

Taylor was dealt a and another , giving him a ninety-seven going to seventh, and Anderson was dealt a and a , giving him a leading ninety-five. Taylor was dealt a on seventh however, giving him a seventy-six, and Anderson was dealt the , eliminating him from the tournament.

-135,000

After doubling through Brendan Taylor the hand before, Calvin Anderson completed with an and put action on the short-stacked Gerald Ringe, who was showing . He thought for a bit before choosing to raise, which essentially showed he was committed to the hand. Anderson obliged with a three-bet and all Ringe's chips ended up in the pot.

Ringe: / /
Anderson: / /

"Nine or less," Ringe said before squeezing out seventh. Unfortunately for him, his card had a line and he knew it was a useless paint card. With that, Anderson chipped up to 135,000 while Ringe made his way to the payout desk in 12th place to collect $10,945.

Calvin Anderson	135,000	100,000
Gerald Ringe	0	-69,000

Hellmuth: /
Bleznick: /

Hellmuth tabled a on seventh street, making a ten-eight, but Bleznick could still win with an ace, three, four, seven, or eight. He paired his deuce however, and was eliminated from the tournament.

"Nice call," Hellmuth complemented as Bleznick was gathering his things.

"Good luck everybody," Bleznick announced before exiting.

Phil Hellmuth's wife, Katherine, has been known to sweat her husband when he makes a deep run. Today is no different as she has been watching the action from the get go. She recently received some company when their oldest son, Phillip III, joined her on the rail.

"There he is," Hellmuth exclaimed with excitement from the rail before getting up to embrace his son.

Chirs Viox brought it in with a and Gerald Ringe completed with . Brendan Taylor made the call as did Viox, and then Taylor fired out after taking the lead on the turn. Ringe and Viox called, with the latter committing the rest of his chips. Another bet by Taylor on fifth street drove Ringe from the hand and the cards were tabled.

Taylor: / /
Viox: (x-x) / (x) / (x)

Viox realized he was in bad shape, and after sixth street he knew he was drawing dead. He mixed up his cards so that we weren't able to piece together what he had, but the result was the same. Viox has been eliminated in 15th place and will take home $7,135 for his efforts.

Viox	/
Anderson	/

Viox was dealt a , , and another , while Anderson received a and . On seventh, Anderson squeezed his card, and announced that it had no sides. No sides means that it's an ace, deuce, or tre, because those cards only have symbols in the corner and the center of the card. If it was another tre, Anderson would've been eliminated, but it was a deuce, giving him the best hand and the double up.

"That's the first time I've ever squeezed a card," Anderson said after the hand.

"Now you're addicted," Phil Hellmuth returned, grinning.

Chris Viox	170,000	-19,000
Calvin Anderson	50,000	22,000

Scott Clements was our shortest stack entering the day, and after the first hand of play, he's out.

Scott Fischman: /
Scott Clements: /

Clements started with the best hand possible in Razz, but he was dealt the following cards: , and then another face down. After every street was dealt, he said the following, "That's not good."

Fischman was dealt and than an facedown on seventh, which was good enough for the knockout.

Brandon Cantu (two WSOP bracelets) and Brendan Taylor (one WSOP bracelet) are atop our chip counts entering Day 3 of Event 18: $2,500 Seven Card Razz, but everyone's eyes are on Phil Hellmuth, who's lurking right behind them.

Two days ago, Hellmuth finished 15th in Event 15: $5,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low Split 8-or-Better, and rather than go back to the Aria to drink the finest whisky, he hopped into Event 18 along with 309 other hopefuls. Now, only 17 players separate Hellmuth from his record-breaking twelfth bracelet.

Keep in mind, he's never won a non-hold'em event at the WSOP.

Neither of Cantu's two bracelets came in stud variants either, but the way he's running, anything is possible. Going into Level 17 on Day 2, Cantu had 4,000 chips. At the time, that was one small bet or four antes. An hour and a half later, he had well over 100,000, and two hours later, when the day concluded, he was the chip leader. Let's see of Cantu can keep the run going on Day 3.

Cantu, Hellmuth, and Taylor aren't the only bracelet winners left in the field however. Chris Viox (1), Michael Chow (1), Team PokerStars Pro Barry Greenstein (3), Scott Fischman (2), and Scott Clements (2) all have at least one bracelet.
