The action continues at the 2024 World Series of Poker today, with Day 2 of Event #21: $25,000 NLH 6-Max. The first eight levels are in the books at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, where Brandon Wilson led the pack after Day 1.
A total of 216 entries were recorded on Day 1, surpassing last year’s total of 207. Late registration remains open for the first level of the day. New entries will join the 76 surviving players at 12 p.m. local time to resume battle in this prestigious event.
Wilson worked his way to the top of the chip counts bagging 1,388,000 on the opening day, but has plenty of company giving chase. Among the notable names inside the top ten are Artur Martirosian (988,000), Rainer Kempe (858,000), Brek Schutten (767,000), and Kevin Rabichow (724,000).

Shaun Deeb entered the $25,000 High Roller at the start of the day, and had already chipped up through Ben Heath.
Then, on a 10♣4♣2♠J♣ board, he moved all in and Daniel Negreanu pulled out his vlogging camera before calling for his last 82,000.
Daniel Negreanu: J♥5♥ 
Shaun Deeb: A♦J♦
Both players had turned top pair, but Negreanu was outkicked and couldn't catch up on the 4♠ river.

Getting to the table the board showed J♣6♥5♣2♥10♦ in a pot between Justin Saliba and Joao Vieira. With about 250,000 in the pot Saliba checked to Vieira on the button. Vieira bet 310,000 leaving just 5,000 behind. After some deliberation Saliba flicked in the call. Vieira turned over 9♠7♦ for nine-high. Saliba showed K♥J♥ for a pair of jacks to take down a substantial pot.
Vieira busted a few hands later.
