Jeremy Ausmus, who recently won his sixth WSOP bracelet in the $3,200 Online High Roller event won't be claiming his seventh bracelet in this event, as he was just eliminated.
On his way off the tournament floor, he passed by John Hennigan's table, where the Hall of Famer congratulated Ausmus on his nomination for induction this year, with a playful rib at the end.
"Congrats on your nomination, you're a shoo-in. But I didn't vote for you," joked Hennigan, which brought a smile to the face of Ausmus as he headed off to his next event to try to claim number seven.
Daniel Negreanu came into the day on an above-average stack of 163,000 but just had his tournament come to an early end on the first level of Day 2.
According to Noah Bronstein at his table, Negreanu raised under the gun with KxJx, then called when Nick Guagenti three-bet the big blind with AxQx.
Negreanu hit a king on the flop, but Guagenti spiked an ace on the river to send Negreanu to the rail.
"Daniel didn't drag an ante for an hour and a half. Phil was laughing at him," Bronstein added.

An enormous pile of chips was already in the middle as Christopher Claassen, Scott Bohlman, and Chino Rheem went to the river on a board of 6♠6♦7♦4♣K♦.
Claassen, in the hijack, put out a bet and Bohlman tanked on the button before calling. "I can't imagine this is good," Rheem said as he tossed away two eights.
Claassen showed 10♦8♦ for the rivered flush and Bohlman mucked.
