Out of the 901 entries to try their luck in Event #69: $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed, just 202 will return for Day 2 action at 2:00 p.m. local time. All are chasing the top prize of $475,033 and WSOP gold bracelet, and since 136 players will make the money, the bubble is expected to break early in the day.

At the head of the pack is South Africa's Jarred Solomon, who will take a sizable 286,000-chip stack out of the bag. Not far behind is Dominik Nitsche, a feared no-limit player who has just begun to test the waters of four-card poker. The German three-time bracelet winner ended Day 1 with 220,200 chips. Max Silver, a widely respected British player who appears to have spent little time in the Rio this summer, has accumulated 187,000 chips thus far. Silver held the chip lead on his table for most of the first day of play but ultimately bagged a smaller stack than Romain Lewis, who advanced to Day 2 with 215,700.

Numerous additional notable names advanced alongside the biggest stacks, including Scott Bohlman (149,300), Martin Kozlov (140,700), Tommy Le (132,000), Phil Galfond (96,100), Daniel Negreanu (73,700), and Anthony Zinno (64,800).

Blinds will be 600/1,200 when play resumes. The seat draw can be found below. The plan is to play 10 levels with a 15-minute break every two levels and a one-hour dinner break after six levels (at about 8:30). Keep it here for continuing coverage of this event and throughout the 2018 World Series of Poker.

With about 7,200 chips in the pot and the board reading {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, Jeff Gross checked from the big blind and Max Silver checked behind from the hijack.

The turn brought the {2-Diamonds} and Gross bet 3,500. Silver called.

The {Q-Spades} fell on the river and Gross checked. Silver bet 9,000, sending Gross into the tank for about half a minute.

"A set and a king," said Gross as he moved chips forward to call.

"Good read," Silver replied, tabling {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Gross mucked and Silver took the pot.

Abecassis and Gargano Eliminated by Sampath

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Picking up the action on the {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs} turn, Tony Gargano had already put his chips in on previous streets while Girish Sampath and Michel Abecassis tangled for the side pot. Sampath checked, Abecassis potted for 13,200 and Sampath check-raised all in, covering Abecassis' 40,000 or so. Abecassis called but he learnt brutal news as he found himself drawing dead.

Gargano: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Abecassis: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Sampath: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Sampath was in a great spot, having the big side pot locked as Abecassis' out for straight flush was blocked by Gargano. Abecassis knew his fate before the river where Gargano missed his two-outer as only king could save him but the {A-Hearts} landed instead.
