Mizrachi Among Leaders Heading Into Day 3 of Event #62: $1,500 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Some 260 players began play at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, looking to make their mark on the 2023 World Series of Poker. For 28 players, that dream continues into Day 3, as today's Day 2 action in Event #62: $1,500 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha has concluded.
Among the chip leaders is four-time bracelet winner Robert Mizrachi, who bagged 3,100,000. Mizrachi, the 2007 $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha champion, has six cashes so far this summer and looks to add another bracelet to his already-impressive resume.
Sitting atop the leaderboard is Eran Carmi. Carmi, out of Tel Aviv, Israel, bagged 4,225,000. He has a WSOP circuit ring to his name, having won WSOPC Event #9: €2,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed earlier this year. He also will look to improve upon his third-place finish in the 2022 WSOP Europe Pot-Limit Omaha event.

With the bubble bursting right before the end of Day 1, eliminations were expected to come quickly. That turned out to be the case, as the early part of Day 2 saw numerous players make their way to the payout window. Early eliminations included Loni Hui, Ismael Bojang, Patrick Leonard, and Michael Perrone.
Other notable players unable to make Day 3 included Barny Boatman, Shaun Deeb, Jared Jaffee, and Brandon Shack-Harris.
Coming back for Day 3 is the ever-talkative Martin Kabrhel, who will look to spin up his short stack. Kabrhel was among the chip leaders for the majority of Day 2 and knows how to make a comeback - even when calling the wrong hand.
Action will resume at 1:00 p.m. local time on Thursday, June 29, at Level 26, with blinds at 30,000/60,000 with a 60,000 big blind ante. The 28 remaining players will play down to a winner, who will take home the top prize of $410,659 and a WSOP bracelet. Stay tuned to PokerNews as a champion is crowned!

Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
The cards were tabled in an all-in pre-flop hand between John Wagnon and Shai Zurr, with Wagnon the player at risk.
John Wagnon: A♠K♥
Shai Zurr: 8♠8♥
Wagnon would be drawing to a queen only after Zurr turned a set on J♦6♣10♣8♣ but the 2♥ river sent him to the payout desk.

Tournament officials have announced that players will play three more hands before bagging for the night.
Wagnon Doubles Through Mizrachi
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
The cards were on their backs and John Wagnon was all-in against Robert Mizrachi on a flop that read J♣4♠Q♥.
John Wagnon: A♦J♥8♠3♣
Robert Mizrachia: 10♣9♥5♦3♠
Wagnon was still ahead with his pair of jacks, but the turn 6♦ gave Mizrachi a full wrap, so Wagnon would have to fade quite a few cards to secure the win, which he was able to do on the 9♣ river.

Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Pot-Limit Omaha
Rajendara Dhar raised to 110,000 from early position and Bart Lybaert raised the pot on the button to 515,000, with Dhar making the call.
Dhar made the decision to lead out for 800,000, on the 4♥5♦2♠ flop, enough to put Lybaert all-in. Lybaert called and the cards were on their backs.
Bart Lybaert: A♥K♥K♠6♦
Rajendara Dhar: A♣Q♠8♠5♣
Dhar flopped top pair and a straight draw, but was still behind the kings of Lybaert.
Lybaert would get a clean runout in the form of the J♣ turn and the 4♣ river, securing the double.

The Chad & Jesse Poker Show: Ali Imsirovic Video About Cheating Allegations; Guest Masato Yokosawa
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
On the latest The Chad & Jesse Poker Show straight from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP), Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen discuss Ali Imsirovic's video addressing the cheating allegations against him.
They are joined by renowned Japanese vlogger Masato Yokosawa, AKA “World Wide Yokosawa.” While players in the United States might think folks like Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme has the biggest vlog followings in the world, that distinction actually belongs to Masato, who regularly clears 600K views on each of his vlogs!
The Japanese vlogging sensation opens up about his start in poker, what inspired him to start a vlog, and how he’s managed to turn it into a smashing success with the help of a creative team. He also talks about his desire to win a WSOP gold bracelet, how Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth are perceived in his home country, and what the future looks like for poker in Japan.
