Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Thai Ha, Pakinai Lisawad and Raphael Schreiner were among the most recent casualties on Day 2 and Dan Smith also ended up at risk when he got into a preflop raising war with Jake Schwartz.

Dan Smith: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Jake Schwartz: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

The board came {k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{10-Hearts} and they chopped it up.

"I had to try," Smith said in table chat and Schwartz replied "a friendship try."

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

JC Tran raised to 7,000 and Kyle Bowker made it 20,000 to go from one seat over. Tran called and the flop came {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. Tran checked and folded to a pot-sized bet of 44,500 by Bowker.

In the meanwhile, Esther Taylor was spotted on her way out of the tournament area and her seat is now occupied by Julien Martini, who re-entered a few minutes ago.

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

A big pot was in progress between Dario Sammartino and Alexey Makarov with already over 200,000 chips in the middle.

The board read {2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Sammartino, who was initially under the gun, bet 195,000. Makarov, who was on the button, tanked and asked how much the Italian had behind.

Eventually, Makarov mucked, with Sammartino moving up as a contender for the chip leader.

On a {6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} flop Bryce Yockey check-called a continuation bet of 12,000 from Paul Volpe.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and both players checked. The river was the {8-Diamonds} and Yockey checked to Volpe who bet 50,000.

Yockey seemed displeased at the runout and flung his hand into the muck.

Will There be a New Record Set in Event #45: $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller?

At 2 p.m. local time, the 2019 World Series of Poker will see the lovers of 'the great game' return to their seats in the Amazon Tan section of the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino to as Day 2 of Event #45: $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller will recommence with 128 players out of 221 entries remaining.

A new record is in sight for the most-expensive Omaha tournament of the summer schedule as last year's field size of 230 entries is all but reached. New entries will receive 150,000 in chips with returning blinds of 1,500/3,000 to provide 50 big blinds in the first level, and the late registration and single re-entry period remain open for the first two levels and the following break until approximately 4.15 p.m. local time.

Leading the field into Day 2 is two-time WSOP bracelet winner Keith Lehr with 692,000, closely followed by three-time bracelet winner Paul Volpe with 682,000. Firas Sadou sits in third place with 625,000 and a host of further big names are among the top 10 stacks such as Dario Sammartino (595,500), Ludovic Geilich (590,000), defending champion Shaun Deeb (518,500) and PLO specialist Ka Kwan Lau (492,500).

Another former champion of this event has also advanced to Day 2 in Anthony Zinno, who sits in the middle of the pack with a stack of 239,000. The 2017 champion and 2018 runner-up James Calderaro, however, won't be returning to the action as he was eliminated twice on Day 1. This also applies for such notables as Richard Gryko, Chance Kornuth, Phil Galfond and Michael Mizrachi.

The second of four tournament days is scheduled to play ten 60-minute levels with a 15-minute break every two levels and a 60-minute dinner break after the sixth level of the day at approximately 8.30 p.m. local time. It is expected that the field will be narrowed down close to the money bubble and the PokerNews live reporting team will be your one-stop shop for an exciting day of four-card poker.
