There will be one goal for the 160 players remaining in Event #13: $1,500 Limit Hold'em on Day 2: make it to the money.

The top 79 finishers will guarantee themselves $2,405. The player with the best chance of making it there is World Series of Poker bracelet winner Kenny Hsiung, who ended last night as the chip leader with 248,500. Right behind him is Venkata Tayi, the 2017 runner-up in this event, who bagged up 238,000.

There are plenty of notables still remaining out of the starting field of 522 who can challenge the two chip leaders when play resumes at 2 p.m. local time inside the Bally's Event Center. Jesse Lonis ended up in third place on the leaderboard with 208,000. The 2015 Main Event champion Joe McKeehen (114,000) and 2019 Player of the Year Robert Campbell (100,000) are also still in the hunt for the bracelet. Todd Rones is writing an incredible story for himself, coming into the day with 80,000 in the first poker tournament he's ever played.
