Exactly 200 players out of the 1,216 that registered made it through to Day 2 of Event #40: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2019 World Series of Poker. Israelian player Shahar Levi leads the pack after he bagged a stack of 519,000 from his initial 25,000. Sajal Gupta is in second place with 512,500 and they are the only two players who bagged more than half a million. Play will start today in Level 16 where the blinds are 2,500/5,000 (without an ante) so they are the only players with 100 big blinds.

Other players that bagged big stacks for Day 2 include Keith Lehr (464,000), Robin Ylitalo (435,500), Matt Glantz (380,000), and Erik Seidel (368,000). Hockey player Phil Kessel also bagged 79,500 chips. Kessel won two Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins and is now looking for another trophy in a different discipline.

There will be 17 players that will return to Day 2 who will miss out on the money, with 183 spots paid and the min-cash being worth $2,248. The winner will receive a whopping $298,507 while a spot at the final table will guarantee someone $22,215. Levels will be 60-minute today instead of the 40-minutes on Day 1 and there will be a 15-minute break after every two levels. There will be a 60-minute dinner break after the sixth level of the day. The goal is to play down to the final six players.

PokerNews will be on the floor to report on all the ins and outs of the tournament.

Mohsin Charania in a previous event

Mohsin Charania started the day with 44,500 but he's down to about what he started with yesterday.

A player in middle position raised to 15,000 from and Charania called from the button. Both players in the blinds got out of the way. The flop was dealt {j-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Charania got out of the way when his opponent continued with a bet of 12,000.

Charania is down to about five big blinds while the field is slowly but surely creeping towards the money.

The board read {7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds} when Barny Boatman bet 15,000 from the small blind, called by Ryan McKnight in the big blind.

The river fell {10-Clubs} and Boatman bet another 15,000. McKnight ended up calling but mucked his cards when Boatman showed {10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades} for a full house.

Ankush Mandavia opened to 17,000, leaving him with 35,000 left behind and it folded to Gary Solomons who decided to three-bet to 40,000, putting Mandavia into a decision for his tournament. Mandavia tanked for a few minutes and looked at the number of the remaining players before saying "How much do I want to gamble here?", making the table laugh.

After some time, Mandavia ended up folding his hand reluctantly, revealing {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.
