The second Championship event of the 2019 World Series of Poker will recommence at 2 p.m. local time and a field of 173 entries has emerged thus far in Event #18: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship with at least 90 players returning to their seats in the Tan section of the Amazon Room when the cards go back in the air.

All those who opt to join the action before level 11 kicks off will receive 60,000 in chips at returning limits of 4,000/8,000, and the 173 entries so far represent the biggest field since 2014 when Brock Parker defeated 177 opponents. Sammy Farha topped the record field of 212 players in this Championship event back in 2010 to claim his third and last WSOP bracelet so far.

Leading the field into Day 2 is Yarron Bendor, the only contender to have amassed more than three times the average after 10 hour-long levels on Day 1. Bendor will return with a stack of 375,500 and finished third in this very event two years ago. Second in chips is WSOP bracelet winner David Benyamine (291,500) and he's followed by mixed game specialist Richard "Chufty" Ashby (290,500). The 2018 WSOP Player of the Year Shaun Deeb sits in fourth place in the overnight leader board with 263,000.

Also among the top 10 stacks heading into Day 2 is Derek McMaster, who won his first gold bracelet a few days ago when he topped an 853-player field in Event #4: $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better. Other notables with big stacks after Day 1 include David "Bakes" Baker (221,000), Alex Foxen (218,000), Tom Koral (216,500), John Racener (184,500) and Mike Matusow (150,500) to name just a few of the big names still left in contention in a field filled with the biggest names in mixed games.

Day 2 will play a total of seven levels of 90 minutes each with a break every level and a 60-minute dinner break after level 14. The new tournament structure is based on player feedback initiated by David "ODB" Baker, and tomorrow's penultimate day will then play down to the final six with the final table scheduled to be live streamed on PokerGo and CBS on Sunday, June 9th, 2019.
