Day 2 of Event #47: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. has come to an end here at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas with Yuri Dzivielevski leading the final 28 players after bagging up 2,020,00 in chips.
The Brazilian poker pro is the only player who bagged over two million in chips and is in pole position to add a third WSOP bracelet to his resume. Dzivielevski has over $5 million in career tournament earnings, including a second-place finish in the $50,000 Poker Player's Championship last year for his largest cash to date.
Also in contention is Gershon Distenfeld (1,300,000). The philanthropist poker player already has one WSOP bracelet to his name and has pledged to donate all of his winnings to charity, including 10% to The Charity Series of Poker (CSOP).
