Play has come to a close on Day 2 of Event #46: $5,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em at the 2022 WSOP at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas. Some 324 players took their seats from a total field of 920, though many of those only registered at the start of the day, at the end of the late registration period.
When the dust settled after ten 60-minute levels, 46 players were able to find a bag for Day 3, and are now vying for the biggest payouts from the $4,243,500 prize pool.

Of those 46 surviving players, it is Argentine's Ezequiel Waigel who leads the way, sitting on a stack of 3,440,000. He has opened quite a gap at the top of the leaderboard, with his closest competitor, Anthony Spinella, bagging 2,575,000. Rounding out the top three is Stephen Song with 2,485,000. Others who will return for Day 3 include Robert Mizrachi (1,170,00), Joey Weissman (985,000) and Elio Fox (895,000).
Notables who entered but failed to progress to Day 3 included six-time bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu (106th - $8,807), current WSOP POY race leader Daniel Zack (91st - $8,807) and 2015 WSOP Main Event champion Ryan Riess (75th - $10,066).
The remaining 46 players are guaranteed $15,482 but so deep in the tournament, all eyes will surely be on the $771,765 first prize and the WSOP gold bracelet that accompanies it. Play resumes at 2 p.m. PDT Thursday, June 23rd and will continue until just five players remain.

Play has come to a close on Day 2 of Event #46: $5,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em. Only 46 players were able to find a bag for Day 3 and they will return tomorrow, June 23rd at 2 p.m. at which point play will continue until five players remain. Stay tuned for a full recap of the day's play to come.
Level 20
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ben Diebold had moved in for his last 40,000 from the hijack and Johan Schultzpedersen called from the small blind and Robert Mizrachi called from the big blind.
''Take your time boys'', said Diebold, as he hoped if he lost he would make a ladder on the payouts.
The blinds both checked the 
flop.
When another 
fell on the turn, Schultzpedersen lead and Mizrachi instantly folded.
With no side pot Diebold said ''I'll be p***ed if I'm not ahead'', flipping over 
, which had Schultzpedersen's 
in bad shape. The irrelevant 
completed the board, tripling Diebold up and then some.
Level 20
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Elio Fox opened to 45,000 from under the gun and was called by Albert Nguyen one seat over. Action folded around to Kacper Piotrowski in the small blind who shoved all in for 600,000. The big blind got out of the way and Fox, after some consideration, just called. Nguyen let go of his hand and Piotrowski was officially at risk.
Kacper Piotrowksi: 
Elio Fox: 
Piotrowski was in dire straights and would need a lot of help to have any chance of making it through to Day 3. No help came on the 
flop or the 
turn. The 
was the final nail in the coffin, sending Piotrowski to the rail late on Day 2. Fox, on the other hand, surges above 2,000,000.
Level 20
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Anthony Hu has largely gone under the radar in the event so far, but he's quietly chipped up a very respectable stack as the day is in it's final hour.
PokerNews joined the hand on the river, where Hu had bet from the big blind into his cutoff opponent, Rui Bouquet, to the tune of 135,000 chips. With around 175,000 in the pot, Rui considered his options on the 
board before deciding on a fold.
Level 20
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ting-Yi Tsai had opened under-the-gun to 40,000 and had the call from the hijack, Patrick Sekinger. Maximiliano Gallardo completed from the big blind and the flop fell 
.
Tsai continued when checked to and Sekinger called while Maximiliano got out of the way.
The 
turn slowed down the action, both players checked.
Same again on the river and Tsai tabled the and asked Sekinger ''eights or nines?'', while Sekinger mucked his holding.
Level 20
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ezequiel Waigel has been among the largest stacks in the room throughout the day and just took down another pot, this time against Elio Fox.
Fox opened to 50,000 on the button and Waigel defended his big blind.
The 
flop saw Waigel check to Fox, who led out for 40,000. Waigel made the call to send the two players to the turn.
Waigel opted to take over the betting lead on the turn, firing off 75,000. Fox thought for some time but did end up smooth calling.
The 
river did little to persuade Waigel to slow down as he counted out a stack of chips before pushing 135,000 into the middle. Fox thought long and hard but in the end decided he could not beat Waigel's hand and released his own.
