Solomon King to Start Day 2

Jarred Solomon from Event #24: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em, one of four 2013 WSOP events in which he's cashed already

Welcome back to Day 2 of Event #35: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha where Jarred Solomon returns to the biggest stack of the 137 survivors of Day 1. The South African hopes to continue forward with his first-day momentum, perhaps to position himself for a run at improving on his second-place finish in the $10,000 buy-in PLO championship two years ago.

Solomon will have a difficult group of competitors with whom to contend, however, in order to reach that goal. There's Joshua Ladines sitting with a stack nearly as big, plus several other familiar names among those also coming back to big stacks today, including Steve Sung, Giuseppe Pantaleo, Josh Arieh, Christian Harder, and Jonathan Duhamel.

Lots of other tough competitors lurk below the leaders, just one or two pot-sized reraises away from building stacks of challenging chips. Tom Schneider — winner of two bracelets this summer and four in his career — is still among the field, as is 13-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth, nine-time bracelet winner Phil Ivey, and Scott Clements who has a couple of Omaha bracelets (one PLO) and a runner-up finish this summer already in Event 11: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em (Six-Handed).

With 640 having entered, the top 72 finishers get paid in Event #35, meaning nearly half of the returners will be leaving empty-handed some time this afternoon. The plan will then be to play through 10 one-hour levels to set up tomorrow's final day of play.

Cards go in the air at 2 p.m. local time, with the first calls of "Raise pot!" to come shortly thereafter. See you back here then as we'll be here all day and night to bring you Day 2 action from "the action game" of PLO.

Meanwhile, here's Kristy Arnett with today's update from the WSOP:

Trickett Busts

Level 9 : 400/800, 0 ante

On one of the first hands of the day, Sam Trickett was all in and at risk with {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades} against Vincent Lam's {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Lam's hand held up as the board came {2-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}, and the Brit was eliminated.

Also joining him on the rail early on are Roger Haffter and Sebastian Bastian.

Shak Stacked

Level 9 : 400/800, 0 ante

Dan Shak has been eliminated during the early going here on Day 2.

The big damage done to Shak's stack in a preflop all-in confrontation with Jared Hamby in which Shak had {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and was dismayed to see Hamby turn over {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}.

Drawing super thin, Shak saw the board come {5-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and Hamby scooped the pot of about 50,000 with a Broadway straight.

Down to about 10,000 after that one, Shak was eliminated soon thereafter.

Level 9 : 400/800, 0 ante

When we arrived at Table 435, Daniel Hood and Tom West were all in against a third player - we don't know who held the hand because all of them were already tabled when we got there.

Hood: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
West: {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Third Player: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, and West tripled up with a straight. Hood was eliminated.

Weldon Hyman has also hit the rail with unknown action.

You Can Count on Chris

Shamus

Level 9 : 400/800, 0 ante

There was a six-way limped pot over at Table 438 just now. All checked the {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop, then when the turn brought the {5-Hearts}, Arthur Walker spoke up to disturb the scene's serenity.

"Pot," said Walker. "Forty-eight hundred," answered Chris the dealer instantly.

"You're good at math," said Josh Arieh to Chris as the table all folded to Walker's bet, reminding all of the challenge pot-limit games can sometimes provide. Chris nodded and slid the chips toward Walker, the amount of which was plain to all.

Jared vs. Jarred

[user101598]
[user101598]
Level 9 : 400/800, 0 ante

The action folded to overnight chip leader Jarred Solomon, who limped in. Jared Bleznick instantly raised to 2,400 in the big blind - accidentally tossing out too many chips initially - and Solomon called.

The dealer fanned {6-Spades}{10-Hearts}{j-Clubs}, Solomon check-called a 3,000-chip bet, and the turn was the {9-Diamonds}. Solomon quickly checked.

"OK," Bleznick told the dealer, knuckling behind.

The {a-Hearts} completed the board, and Solomon tossed out 4,000. Bleznick instantly called.

"Two pair," Solomon announced.

Bleznick lifted his four cards, and a snap of the wrist he spread them to reveal {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for a set of aces. He raked in the pot, and now sits with around 85,000 chips.
