Day 2 saw 98 players return for Event #34: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha at the 2023 WSOP from The Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

By day’s end, there were only 10 players remaining who will return at noon on Friday, June 16, to play down to a champion. The first-place prize of $298,192 awaits the winner, as does a coveted WSOP bracelet.

Leading the way into Day 3 is Robert Mizrachi who bagged 5,680,000. The four-time bracelet winner was present throughout the day and kept up the pressure until the end. Following close behind him is Matthew Beinner, who went on a chip stacking surge in the last level after he eliminated Day 1 Chipleader Josh Arieh with a set of aces.

Accomplished tournament player Matthew Parry rounds out the top three after bagging 4,170,000.

Jarred Solomon Eliminated in 11th Place ($20,049)

Tyler Foran

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ryan Christopherson raised to 180,000 under the gun and Jarred Solomon jammed his last 550,000 on the button. Christopherson made the call.

Jarred Solomon: K♣K♠8♣2♠
Ryan Christopherson: A♥A♣6♠2♠

Solomon had run into the aces of Christopherson and the A♦5♠3♣ flop left him drawing thin. The 7♠ turn was no help and the 7♦ river gave Christopherson a full house, sending Solomon to the payout desk in 11th place.

William Rector Eliminated in 12th Place ( $16,028)

Claudio Elizalde

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Matthew Beinner opened the action with a raise in late positon to 175,000 and was called by Antonin Teisseire on the button, as well as William Rector in the big blind. The dealer spread J♠5♦7♣ and Rector checked, Beinner checked, and Teisseire placed a pot sized bet.

Rector made the call for less and Beinner got out of the way saying, "Well, I'm sure one of you had a good hand, I fold."

Cards were on their backs and Rector was at risk.

William Rector: A♣Q♦7♦7♥
Antonin Teisseire: Q♣10♣9♥8♥

Rector had flopped a set of sevens and Teisseire had an inside wrap. The turn converted Teisseire to the full wrap with the K♠. Rector requested that the dealer pair the board on the river but they didn't oblige, instead peeling the 6♥ which was one of the many card that made Teisseire a straight.

PokerNews had a brief moment to chat with Rector and he said he'd been coming to the WSOP since 2006. He works in real estate and usually just comes out for a couple weeks, which is the case this time as well. He has little interest in no limit hold'em and is happy playing any of the other games.

Tyler Foran

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Naor Slobodskoy raised the button to 185,000 and Jarred Solomon came along in the big blind.

When the A♥4♣3♥ flop hit, Solomon checked and Slobodskoy bet 145,000. Solomon raised the pot and while the dealer was calculating the total, Slobodskoy moved all-in for his 1,660,000, Solomon instantly called.

Naor Slobodskoy: K♥J♥5♦4♥
Jarred Solomon: A♠10♠6♥2♥

The board completed with the 8♥ on the turn and the Q♣ on the river, giving Slobodksoy the nut-flush as he collected his double up.

Naor Slobodskoy	3,770,000 2,020,000	2,020,000

Josh Arieh Eliminated in 13th Place ($16,028)

Claudio Elizalde

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Josh Arieh raised in late position to 175,000 and was raised by Matthew Beinner on the button to 645,000. Arieh thought for a bit before declaring pot, which moved him in for just under 2,000,000. Beinner asked for a count to make sure but stuck it in after a bit.

Josh Arieh: A♠K♦Q♥4♥
Matthew Beinner: A♣A♦4♦3♠

The flop came down A♦J♥2♣, shooting Beinner further in front with top set. He did, however have to avoid Arieh hitting a ten. The turn was the K♠ and the river was the J♦, shutting Arieh out of the tournament and out in 13th.

Joe Firova Eliminated in 14th Place ($12,972)

Kirk Brown

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Joe Firova had made it 210,000 to go preflop but was then raised to 450,000 by Benjamin Vorelan and action folded back around to Firova who had a total of 475,000 in his stack.

He thought for a good while before deciding to just call, leaving himself with only 235,000 left and they went to the flop of K♥J♠5♣.

Firova tanked for a good while before shoving the rest of his chips across the line, which resulted in a snap-call by Voreland to put him at risk.

Joe Firova: A♣10♣9♥7♣
Benjamin Voreland: A♥A♦Q♠6♥

The board ran out J♥4♥ for Voreland's pocket aces to hold and Firova was eliminated in 14th place.

Coon Makes Quads

Tyler Foran

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Sean Troha raised to 150,000 and only Ryan Coon called in the small blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 7♠7♣2♠ and both players checked to see the 6♠ turn.

Coon checked once more before Troha fired a bet of 200,000 and Coon called.

When the 9♣ landed on the river, Coon led out for 500,000. Troha went deep into the tank, cutting out 500,000 in greens multiple times before sliding the stack forward to make the call.

Coon instantly announced 'quads' and tabled 10♣7♦7♥8♠ for quad sevens on the flop and Troha mucked his hand.

Claudio Elizalde

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Sean Troha raised preflop and Benjamin Voreland called in the big blind. The dealer spread 4♠9♦9♣ and Voreland tapped the table. Troha bet out for 80,000 and Voreland raised to 250,000. Troha made the call.

The turn brought the A♠ and Voreland checked. Troha, undeterred, bet for 250,000 and was called by Voreland.

The river was the 8♠ and both players check. Voreland revealed 9♠3♥5♦K♠ for flopped trips and rivered flush. Troha just shook his head and counted his remaining chips.

Benjamin Voreland	3,600,000 480,000	480,000

Mizrachi Switches Places with Arieh

Claudio Elizalde

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Robert Mizrachi raised to 165,000 in early position and was called by Josh Arieh on the button. Heads up they saw a flop of A♠3♣8♥.

Mizrachi bet 225,000 and was called fairly quickly by Arieh, bringing the 5♠. Again, Mizrachi took the initiative and bet 625,000. Arieh called again.

The river peeled the 4♦ and Mizrachi fired the third bullet for 400,000 and Arieh made the call. Mizrachi tabled A♦A♣10♣8♣ for flopped top set and after double checking his hand, Arieh tossed it in the muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Robert Mizrachi	3,250,000 850,000	850,000

Ace on the River Keeps Solomon Alive

Tyler Foran

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jarred Solomon raised to 210,000, with 140,000 behind in the cutoff and Matthew Parry announced a raise to 360,000. The action folded back to Solomon and he called off his remaining stack.

Jarred Solomon: A♦K♠8♠2♠
Matthew Parry: Q♥Q♦7♥3♦

The flop of 6♣5♣2♣ paired Solomon's deuce but he was going to need more than that to stay seated. The 10♥ on the turn wasn't looking promising but the A♣ landed on the river, saving Solomon from elimination.

Player	Chips	Progress
Matthew Parry	4,350,000 -625,000	-625,000

Jarred Solomon	1,100,000 450,000	450,000
