An action-packed Day 2 of Event #50: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship saw Dimitar Danchev amass the chip lead, bagging a total of 3,705,000. Danchev has lifetime earnings of $5,992,992 and is looking to capture his second World Series of Poker gold bracelet as he advances to Day 3 at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

Some 266 entrants began the day from the starting field of 688 on Day 1. There were 43 new entries who bought in at the start of Day 2, bringing the total entries to 731. Only 42 remained at the end of the night, battling for the coveted WSOP gold bracelet and $1,309,232 of the $6,795,300 prize pool,
Following Danchev with more than 1,000,000 fewer chips is bracelet winner Sam Soverel with a stack of 2,340,000 and right behind that is William Kopp with 1,890,000 to round the top three.
