Like many of the high-stakes games throughout the series, there was a light-hearted air of the day as long time friends and foes mingled. Players including Ben Lamb, Nick Schulman, Chris Brewer, Ari Engel, Brian Rast, Jared Jaffee, Chino Rheem, Anthony Zinno, and Justin Young are just some of the pros who joined the field today.
Only Engel (420,000) progressed from those stellar names mentioned above. Other notable players still in the field include Christian Harder (1,225,000) Kristen Foxen (895,000), Alex Livingston (785,000), and Lawrence Brandt (420,000); the latter won two bracelets last year.
Big names that made it into the money but were unable to bag included Daniel Negreanu and Shaun Deeb, who both gained some points for the Player of the Year race. Jeremy Ausmus also made it into the money but busted to Negreanu during a PLO hand during the 18th level of the tournament.
The surviving players return to the action from 12:00 p.m. on June 2, with the plan to play down to the final table. As always, tune into PokerNews throughout this event and all the other bracelet-awarding tournaments of the 2023 WSOP.

Khacatryan Is Priced In
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
A player in the small blind bet 120,000 on 6♠8♣3♠, a player in middle position folded and Levon Khachatryan thought through his options before putting the remainder of his chips in the middle and himself at risk.
Levon Khachatryan: 6♣K♣10♦4♦
Big Blind: A♥2♥K♠J♠
The big blind was on a flush draw and when the 2♦ and the K♦ peeled, the pot was awarded to Khachatryan.
Meanwhile, Daniel Negreanu was seen leaving the tournament area. He had secured a mincash and the ever-important Player of the Year points. However, viewers will have to wait until his famous YouTube VLOG tomorrow to find out just how he busted.
