Buckle Up for Day 2 of Event #62: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

The returning players all will be chasing Japan's all-time money leader, Tsugunari Toma (1,076,000), who bagged up nearly three times that of his nearest opponent with a stack of over one million chips.
Although Toma has dominated the European Poker Tour in recent years, with his latest cash being a first-place finish in 2019 in the €10,300 EPT Prague High-Roller for €523,130 (~$605,908), he will be looking to add a coveted WSOP gold bracelet to his already impressive poker resume.
Ray Henson (339,000), Nathan Gamble (328,000; 2x WSOP Winner), Ari Engel (245,000; 2x WSOP Winner), and Mike Matusow (227,000; 4x WSOP Winner) round out the top twenty returning chip counts.
All players will be looking to position themselves at the final table of this is unique event which has a gold bracelet and $186,779 up for grabs for the victor.
When play resumes, the players will be four away from the money. There are 109 places paid with the min-cash worth $2,413. Day 2 will consist of ten 60-minute levels, with a 15-minute break at the end of each level. There's a 60-minute dinner break at the end of level 21 (~8:30 p.m. local (PST) time).
