Day 2 of Event #48: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low to Start Soon
![[user272102]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
A field of 991 hopefuls was whittled down to just 152 yesterday in Event #48: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low and those players will be taking their seats within the next hour as the money bubble looms. Only 117 will be paid, meaning 35 players returning today will walk away empty-handed. Leading the way is Cale Maclean with 130,300 in chips with notables like Jeff Madsen (97,000) and Tyler Patterson (99,100) lurking close by. There is a pack of players sitting within striking distance as well, including Yueqi "Rich" Zhu (99,800), Sonny Osman (99,600), Michel Abecassis (91,000), and Dmitrii Valouev (88,900).
A little bit further down the leaderboard but still in contention are Scott Clements, David Chiu, Ben Yu, Tom Schneider, Eric Baldwin, Maria Ho, Steven Wolansky, Joe Hachem, Matt Waxman, Joe Serock, and Phil Ivey. Ivey enters today with only one cash this summer (a 22nd-place finish in the $1,500 PLHE tournament) and will be looking to improve upon what has certainly been a disappointing WSOP.
Will he make a deep run? Those and more questions will be answered over the course of the day. PokerNews will be here to provide those answers while relating all of the exciting Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low action, so make sure to follow along!

Ivey Making His Presence Felt
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 0 ante
Phil Ivey began the day in late position and in two of the first three pots, Ivey raised to 3,000 and the whole table pretty much insta-mucked.

Kendall's Aces Cracked
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 0 ante
Jiaqi Xu had Anthony Kendall all in preflop and at risk, but Kendall was ahead going into the flop and was looking good for the double-up.
Kendall: 
Xu: 
The board ran out 
. Kendall's two pair (nines and deuces) were not as strong as Xu's two pair (nines and sevens), and Kendall was sent to the rail.

Madsen Gets Some Back
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 0 ante
With the flop reading 
there was a three-way all-in between Jeff Madsen, Ben Yu, and the player in Seat 9. The hands were turned over:
Seat 9: 
Yu: 
Madsen: 
Madsen was in the lead with trip fours and there was a low draw out there. The turn was the 
and Madsen just needed to avoid a ten or low card to scoop the pot. He'd have to settle for half the pot, however, as the river was the 
and Yu and the player in Seat 9 would split the low.

Altham Doubles Through Waxman
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 0 ante
Three players paid 2,700 to see a flop of 
. Action checked around to Matt Waxman on the button, who bet 4,700. Glen Altham check-shoved all in for not too much more and after the player in the cutoff seat folded, Waxman made the call.
Altham tabled 
flopping a flush, leaving Waxman almost drawing dead, as Waxman's attempt to bluff-steal the pot with a lesser hand had failed. The turn and river bricked out and Altham scored the double-up.
