Ten more one-hour levels of play on Day 2 of Event #33: $1,500 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw have been completed and 17 players remain out of the 139 who returned to action at the beginning of the day.

The day was full of action, with half of the field being eliminated before the second break as the money bubble burst at 71 players. When the dust settled, defending champion Hanh Tran found himself at the top of the leaderboard with 457,000.

When asked about taking the chip lead into the final day of play, he said it was like déjà vu. The Austrian topped a field of 356 entries last year to win this very tournament for $117,282. This year’s edition had over 100 more entries, totaling 467, with the eventual champion set to earn a first place prize of $144,027.

Hanh entered the day with just 29,100 and never looked back. He was seen consistently winning pots throughout the day, making big hands regularly and extracting as much value as he could from those hands. He built his stack to around 200,000 by the second break of the day. Two hours later, he was up to 361,000 and peaked right around 460,000 before bagging with the chip lead.

Hot on Tran’s tail are Jared Bleznick, (449,000), Frankie O’Dell, (436,000), and David Bach, (415,000). Day 1 chip leader Benny Glaser (332,000) and Daniel Strelitz (166,000) were also among the players to advance, with O’Dell and Strelitz both vying for their second WSOP bracelet of the summer.

Other players to make it into the money and fall short of finding a bag were Phil Hellmuth, Scott Bohlman, James Obst, Brian Hastings, and Yueqi Zhu.

Play will resume for at 2 p.m. local time on Saturday with play scheduled to continue until a winner is crowned. Limits will be 10,000/20,000 when cards are in the air with one-hour levels until the completion of the tournament. Will Tran be able to successfully pull off the repeat or will somebody else claim victory? PokerNews will be covering every piece of the action, so make sure to follow and catch it all.

Kyle Miaso opened and got calls from Daniel Strelitz on the button and Valentin Vornicu in the small blind.

Vornicu drew two, Miaso one and Strelitz two before Vornicu checked. Miaso bet and both players called.

Vornicu drew two again, with Miaso and Strelitz both drawing one. It checked to Strelitz this time who bet. Vornicu called and was all in. Miaso called and stood pat as Vornicu and Strelitz both drew one.

Both players checked on the end. "Pair," said Strelitz and Miaso showed {10-}{8-}{6-}{4-}{3-}

Vornicu flipped the {8-} which looked promising at first. However, he then fanned the {8-}{6-}{5-}{2-} to show that he too had paired and he was eliminated in 18th place.

Frankie O'Dell opened from the button and was called by Kyle Miaso in the small blind. Miaso drew two and O'Dell drew one. Miaso then check-called O'Dell's continuation-bet. Second draws went two and pat with Miaso again check-calling a bet from O'Dell. The final draw went one and pat and Miaso again checked to O'Dell, who bet.

Miaso went into the tank, exclaiming about how weird of a hand it was. Two eights were exposed earlier in the hand and he would later reveal that had seen another eight and three nines by that point in the hand. He ultimately called, saying he figured O'Dell had either a made seven or was bluffing with three sevens.

Unfortunately for Miaso, it was the former as O'Dell tabled {7-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-} and took down the pot with a seven-six.

The tournament has lost one of its most charismatic - and loudest - players. John Hutchinson was all in from the big blind and after Joon Park's under-the-gun raise forced everyone out, the pair had identical draws - two, one, one.

"AH!" said Hutchinson. "I paired my five." He showed {9-}{7-}{5-}{8-} with the {5-} he had drawn on the end.

Park turned over {6-}{4-}{3-}{2-}

"Give him the other five!" said Hutchinson. Park drew the {4-} to also pair, but his pair of fours was lower than his opponents and Hutchinson was sent to the rail.

According to Dutch player Marc Rijnbeek, he sent Phil Hellmuth to the rail a short while earlier.

Rijnbeek bet after the second draw and got a call before Hellmuth raised. Both players called. Rijnbeek then broke his eight-seven and made a number three. It checked to Hellmuth who bet. Rijnbeek raised Hellmuth all in who called and bust holding eight-six.

Hellmuth allegedly headed to the rail in typical Hellmuth fashion, with a tirade aimed at the Dutchman.

This was Hellmuth's 142nd WSOP cash and his fifth of the summer.

Action folded to Jason Lipiner in the cutoff, who put in a raise. The player on the button folded and Jason Stockfish three-bet from the small blind. Defending champion Hanh Tran called from the big blind, as did Lipiner. Each player drew two cards on the first draw and Stockfish checked. Tran bet and both Lipiner and Stockfish called. Stockfish then drew two, Tran stood pat, and Lipiner pulled two. Action again checked to Tran, who bet and was called by both players.

Final draws went one, pat, one and Stockfish checked again. Tran put in another bet and both Liniper and Stockfish quickly folded. Stockfish left himself with 1,000 behind after the fold and busted shortly thereafter.

Thomas Hammers opened using two stacks of 100 chips.

"I hope I have something," said Tom Franklin. "I want those blacks."

"They're brown," replied Hammers.

"I'm blind," said Franklin before folding.

Robert Campbell called and both players drew two. The Australian check-called a bet and drew two as Hammers drew one. Again Campbell check-called. Campbell drew one as Hammers stood pat.

Campbell bet but folded to a Hammers raise.

"I'll show you," said Hammers, tabling {7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} for a wheel.

Yuri Dzivielevski opened from the hijack and was three-bet by Phil Hellmuth out of the small blind. The big blind folded and Dzivielevski called. Hellmuth drew one and Dzivielevski two. After the draw, Hellmuth bet and Dzivielevski raised. Hellmuth called and both players stood pat. After the second draw, Hellmuth checked to Dzivielevski, who put in a bet. Hellmuth called and both players stood pat on the final draw. Hellmuth then check-called Dzivielevski's bet on the end.

"Eight-seven perfect," Dzivielevski said.

"No good," said Hellmuth, putting his chips back into his stack.

"Eight-seven, you said?" Hellmuth said as he tabled {8-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{2-}.

Dzivielevski saw Hellmuth's hand and confirmed his own was no good, sending his cards into the muck and finding himself with nothing but a few T$100 chips in front of him.

A field of 139 players will return for Event #33: $1,500 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw and play ten more levels on Day 2. The remaining players have been whittled down from a starting field of 467 and of the remaining 139 just 71 will be paid and only one will walk away with the WSOP gold bracelet and $144,027 in prize money.

Defending champion Hanh Tran staged a stunning comeback against Oscar Johansson in 2018 to win his first WSOP bracelet but comes into the day with 29,100 on his quest for back-to-back titles.

Leading the way from yesterday is Benny Glaser who is looking to win this event for the second time after he won $136,215 and his first bracelet back in 2015. He is bringing a stack of 79,500 through to Day 2, just ahead of Jared Bleznick (75,700), Jeffrey Shea (73,900), Penh Lo (72,600), Robert Campbell (72,000) and Frederic Moss (70,600).

These six players are the only ones above 70,000 in chips, but behind them comes a whole host of big names including Brian Hastings, Ian Johns, Loren Klein, Phil Hellmuth, Frankie O'Dell, Daniel Negreanu, and Max Kruse.
